I AM PROVIDENCE stuff
Got a couple other early reviews of I Am Providence.
From Hellnotes: This book is not parody, but rather some insightful knowing looks that fans of Lovecraft will get, but it is also broadly funny enough that those who have never read anything by the man from Providence will still laugh at. That is no mean feat and one that need to be applauded. So for all those reasons, consider I Am Providence highly recommended. It’s a must read for lovers of Lovecraft, laughs, mystery, and silliness.
From Pop Culture Beast: Snappy dialogue and interesting characters, it’s a fun read for anyone who’s experience of fandom includes conventions, message boards, or the tight knit communities that form on the internet.
And Tor.com: The central murder mystery is enjoyable enough, but secondary to the laugh-out-loud skewering of convention culture, complete with mansplaining panelists, petty writer feuds in the dealer’s room, and the distinct odor of unwashed socially awkward nerds living in close proximity for a weekend celebrating their favorite (admittedly racist, overwrought) author.
And if you're tired of hearing that I'd like you to pre-order the book in the hope of shipping 5000 paper copies in the first thirty days and thus getting an extra $2000, rejoice, as amazon is shipping the book two weeks early, claiming an in-stock date of July 25th. So I can only bother you to click here and buy your copy now for another week or so.
