A wonderfully engaging read! -Jeffrey Ford, award-winning author of A Natural History of Hell and Ahab's Return Creatures of Will and Temper was my favorite fantasy of 2017, and sequel Creatures of Want and Ruin is even better-a perfect Prohibition-Era cocktail of bootleggers, demons, and high society that will leave you shaken and stirred. The story telling takes over and you just want more of Ellie West and the denizens of her world, the dead-on 1920s Long Island historical setting, the Great South Bay, the apocalyptic religious cult, the strangeness, until the end and there's no more story to go. Great fun! -Max Gladstone, Hugo Award-nominated author of The Craft Sequence The writing in Molly Tanzer's Creatures of Want and Ruin is so smooth you don't notice it past the first word. Creatures of Want and Ruin is a riveting two-fisted weird pulp adventure with demons, smuggling, sex, archery, cults, and crime that doesn't shrink from carving its predecessors open to poke around in their guts. Once again Molly Tanzer demonstrates a bootlegger's knack for transforming glorious pulpy material into human spirit.
