—Lynn Flewelling, author of the Nightrunner series and the Tamír Triad series, on White Trash Warlock

“Edgy and addicting, David R. Slayton’s stunning debut will grab hold of you and knock you around just because it can. But before it’s all over, it’ll leave you breathless and begging for more.”

—Darynda Jones, New York Times bestselling author,
on White Trash Warlock

“[Slayton] turned the usual tropes on their ass, and created
an amazing, fresh story. A rural setting; relatable paycheck-
to-paycheck characters; strong LGBT+ representation . . .
It’s an exceptional debut. We need more books like this.”

—K. D. Edwards, author of The Last Sun
and The Hanged Man, on White Trash Warlock

“Inventive, exciting, and starring one of the most charming
fantasy characters I have ever read about . . . David R. Slayton
is definitely an author to watch.”

—Cale Dietrich, author of The Love Interest,
on White Trash Warlock

“A well-written story with an LGBTQ+ protagonist . . . Dark,
haunting, lyrical, and innovative, beautiful and heartfelt.”

—New York Journal of Books on White Trash Warlock

“Slayton’s debut uses wry humor, alternating viewpoints,
and intriguing LGBTQ+ characters that will have readers eager
for more of Adam Binder’s escapades.”

—Booklist on White Trash Warlock

“The complex world-building, well-shaded depictions
of poverty, emotional nuance, and thrilling action sequences make this stand out. Slayton is sure to win plenty of fans.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on
White Trash Warlock

“Slayton’s book gathers up pretty much every modern
fantasy trope, turns them upside down, and shakes them . . .
The elves who show up would have Tolkien rolling in his grave, which is my highest endorsement, and the LGBTQIA+ rep
is all around outstanding.”

—BookRiot on White Trash Warlock

“Slayton crafts a setting rich in grit and grime and Americana kitsch that’s as much a character as gay warlock Adam Binder in this, Trailer Park Trickster, the exciting follow-up
in the Adam Binder Novels.”

—C. S. Poe, author of the Magic & Steam series,
on Trailer Park Trickster

“In Trailer Park Trickster, David R. Slayton doubles down on everything that made his first book great: a complicated world, dangerous magic, a likable protagonist, dark family secrets, and, of course, authentically painful (or is that painfully authentic?) love. I can’t wait for more!”

—Gregory Ashe, author of the Hazard
and Somerset mysteries, on Trailer Park Trickster

“[A] thrilling, well-crafted sequel to White Trash Warlock . . .
The interweaving of Adam’s and Vic’s quests builds satisfying tension on the way to an unresolved ending that sets things
up nicely for the next installment. The result is an
emotionally rich page-turner.”

—Publishers Weekly on Trailer Park Trickster
