Praise for novels by Ed Kurtz:

‚  

" ‚  The Rib From Which I Remake the World ‚  isn't only the best book I've read this year, it is Ed Kurtz's best book yet. This is a haunting story of seeing through illusion and the terrifying reality of what it means to meet your maker." -Bracken MacLeod, author of ‚  Mountain Home ‚  and ‚  Stranded

‚  

" ‚  A Wind of Knives ‚  dusts off the classic western's most enduring motifs and gives them a shine. With no lack of gunplay and bloodshed, the book also has heart and intelligence. In short, Kurtz delivers an intense, gritty, and moving story that takes a new look at the Old West." -Lee Thomas, award-winning author of ‚  The German ‚  and ‚  Ash Street

‚  

" ‚  Nausea ‚  is a gritty, hard-edged tale with just the right amount of feeling, making this one hell of a story. All of Ed's gifts are on display here: fast pacing, memorable characters and brutal action that aren't easy to forget, but make for great reading." -Terrence McCauley, author of the James Hicks thrillers

‚  

"Ed Kurtz proved to me that not all horror novels have to be blood and guts and gore. Don't get me wrong, those elements are in ‚  The Rib From Which I Remake the World, but Kurtz balances them with engaging characters and a captivating story." -Crimespree Magazine
