Reviews" Brand New Cherry Flavor is pierced, tattooed, mirror-shaded, and as far off its face as the L. A. it depicts is off the planet. It simultaneously combines to be hideously, hilariously believable and dream-logically scary. What's more, it's cool, nasty fun with absolutely no redeeming social value. Enjoy!" — Charles Shaar Murray, author, Boogie Man, "Grimson fashions an amorality tale from a seemingly endless supply of astutely observed detail, crazed image, and all-too-accurate Hollywood types. This is a book which Bret Easton Ellis would probably nod at familiarly. Cool and funny, visceral and paradoxically detached, Brand New Cherry Flavor seizes its subject matter and does it justice. With a vengeance." — Locus, "Perhaps the best horror novel I have read in the last few decades." -Elizabeth Hand, Fantasy & Science Fiction (January 12, 2012), " Brand New Cherry Flavor is a modern classic -- brutal and funny, gorgeous and profound." --Katherine Dunn, author, Geek Love, "Thrilling, edgy, gritty, and above all, terrific!" --Charlaine Harris, author of the New York Times best selling Sookie Stackhouse series, including Dead Reckoning, "Todd Grimson is the hippest writer currently operating in America. He's a master of noir; a master of Theater of the Absurd; he's a brilliant prose stylist. He's profane and howlingly funny. Dig Grimson--he's one of the American writers to ride with into the new century." --James Ellroy, author, Black Dahlia, "Edgy, cool, dark. Just what I like to read. A voice and style to reckon with." —Charlie Huston, author, The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death and The Shotgun Rule, "Dark and magical; the pages fly!" —Patricia Briggs, New York Times bestselling author of Casey Thompson Series, "Perfectly poised on the edge that separates humor from horror, this novel furthers Grimson's reputation as one of the more inventive new writers probing the dark side of contemporary America today." -- Publisher's Weekly, "Dark and magical; the pages fly!" --Patricia Briggs, New York Times bestselling author of Casey Thompson Series, "Grimson has given us a true look at the dark side--sexy, perverse, twisted and so very entertaining!" --A. M. Homes, author, The Safety of Objects, "Perhaps the best horror novel I have read in the last few decades." --Elizabeth Hand, Fantasy & Science Fiction (January 12, 2012), "A novel unlike any other . . . a depraved masterpiece. It's the novel that, out of anything I've ever read, most closely mirrors the rhythm and logic of nightmares." -Nick Antosca, author, Fires and Midnight Picnic, " Brand New Cherry Flavor is a modern classic – brutal and funny, gorgeous and profound." —Katherine Dunn, author, Geek Love, "Todd Grimson is the hippest writer currently operating in America. He's a master of noir; a master of Theater of the Absurd; he's a brilliant prose stylist. He's profane and howlingly funny.

M. Homes, author, The Safety of Objects, "Thrilling, edgy, gritty, and above all, terrific!" —Charlaine Harris, author of the New York Times best selling Sookie Stackhouse series, including Dead Reckoning, "This is a foul-mouthed, extravagant novel, combining a strong sense of the demonic with some snappy one-liners. Grimson . . . has produced a novel of vitality and promise." — Times Literary Supplement
