Reviews"I loved this book. A roaring, bloody, beautiful work of pure imagination." --Andy Davidson, author of The Boatman's Daughter "A fast-paced, hallucinogenic fairy tale...delivering likable protagonists, exotic beasties, and scoundrels whom we long to see at table with their just desserts." --Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief "Brom has made a convert out of me with Slewfoot , which takes hold of the maxim 'sympathy for the devil' and yanks hard on that literary taproot, unearthing a far more elemental and complex truth.
