NO DOORS, NO WINDOWS - First blurb

It's not out until October, but No Doors, No Windows scored its first blurb today, and it's a doozy:

"NO DOORS, NO WINDOWS draws us into a fearsome, doom-haunted world that closes down like a trap. A knockout book!"

--Peter Straub

To say that I've been a huge fan of Straub's for twenty years is to badly understate the case. Let's just say that I spent years trying to unlearn his monumental influence on my work. Getting a blurb from him is like sitting in with Pharoah Sanders on a late-night set in a dark jazz club. What else can I say?

Color me ecstatic.

You realize that this is nothing but a transparent effort by Straub to curry favor with you in hopes that you'll blurb his next book, right?

That's cool, Joe. Congratulations.
