Praise for ROBERT GUFFEY
“Guffey is my kind of crazy. He understands that the universe is preposterous, life is improbable, and chaos rules: get used to it.”
—Pat Cadigan, author of Mindplayers
“Robert Guffey’s writing has impressed, entertained, and enlightened me pretty much since I first met him. My suggestion? If he wrote it, read it.”
—Jack Womack, author of Random Acts of Senseless Violence
“Along with Cormac McCarthy, Guffey is my favorite modern fiction writer.”
—Gary D. Rhodes, author of The Perils of Moviegoing in America
“Guffey … combines the technique of a good investigative reporter with that of a (well published) fine storyteller.”
—Victor Peppard, The Mailer Review
“The Weird is [Guffey’s] territory. He finds cracks in the reality machine, crawls inside, and shines his light on incredible happenings piled on top of mad happenings. He’s sane. That helps. Iron-rock sane. He’s insatiably curious. That works, too. He has the basic instinct of a true journalist: he knows what he doesn’t know, and he admits it, and then he crawls, wriggles, scratches, digs until he makes the unknown into something real we can see, no matter how strange it turns out to be.”
—New Dawn Magazine
[Guffey’s] work, full of vast and somewhat offbeat scholarship, is… imbued with a Southern Californian sensibility that reminds one both of the trippy work of Philip K. Dick and the Sunshine State Noir of Tarantino (circa Pulp Fiction). His writing is emotionally warmer, and he has a deep affection for his oddball characters. I could see the director Paul Thomas Anderson adapting it for the screen.”
—Craig L. Gidney, author of Skin Deep Magic
