Over the past week or so I’ve received a couple of excellent reviews of “Temporary Monsters.”
The first one is from Kurt Dinan:
Mark my word, Ian is going to be big someday. His writing reads effortless, and his stories are just plain fun and entertaining. TM, a chapbook available from Burning Effigy, is about a private detective in a world where supernatural activity isn’t necessarily common, but is a bit more accepted. A hell of a fun read.
The second is from The Horror Fiction Review. Here’s an excerpt:
TEMPORARY MONSTERS is a fun hybrid of P.I. noir, classic monsters, and some well done humor that doesn’t overshadow the action. Nifty ending, too.

Thanks to both for the kind words. They certainly made my day. If anyone is interested in picking up a last minute copy of “Temporary Monsters” for someone this holiday season, copies are still available from Burning Effigy Press.
I doubt I’ll be posting again until after Christmas – I have a reading on the 27th, for a story I haven’t quite finished yet! – so I hope everyone has a great holiday. Eat lots of bird, drink lots of nog, and stay warm.
Congrats on the reviews! Temporary Monsters is on my “To Read” list for 2010 – looking forward to it!
Thanks, Mary, I’m glad to hear it. I hope you enjoy it!
Good on ya, mate!
And congrats. Glad to see you’re doing well.
Thanks, Jeff. I hope you and your family have a great holiday.
