“Classic, gritty Vachss, who writes prose you can strike a match
on.” —Shots
“It’s brutal, grindhouse and poetic. . . . As if the devil himself
had penned [That’s How I Roll]. . . . Vachss is a writer to admire,
one that does not shun from showing a world with all of its ugly
flaws.” —Lit Reactor
“A noir masterpiece.” —Irish Independent
“[A] chilling tour de force. . . . Crafty, strong-willed Esau
combines courtly manners, deadly paybacks, and ruthless singularity
of purpose.” —Publishers Weekly
“Vachss’s stories . . . burn with righteous rage and transfer a
degree of that rage to the reader.” —The Washington Post Book
World
“Esau Till has to be about the most unique killer-for-hire ever
invented. . . . A great character study of a man with a mission,
despite overwhelming odds. His survival instincts and
matter-of-fact philosophies promise to remain unrivaled for quite
some time.” —Bookreporter
“Vachss’s tough-guy writing style grabs you by the hair and jerks
you to attention.” —Detroit Free Press
“This novel could easily be mistaken for a memoir. . . . Both
chilling and realistic.”—New York Journal of Books
“Vachss combines his trademark black humor with his longstanding
concern for children and their well-being. . . . A smart, cynical
glimpse into the human condition.” —Kirkus Reviews
