Review
“Vivid description and characterization, as well as a complex, intricately crafted setting reminiscent of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter universe, keep the pages turning at a rapid rate… Both horror and mystery readers will be delighted by this horror-noir adventure.”
- Publishers Weekly - Starred Review
"It's hard to say if this singular novel, which boasts a wicked sense of humour to round off the horror, should be eligible for an Edgar Award or a Bram Stoker, or both."
- Elliot Swanson, Booklist
"[Nekropolis] is an atmospheric and exciting mystery."
- SF Site
"It's a classic. Sam Spade, watch out. There's a slow-footed zombie creeping up on you!"
- Bewildering Stories
"Fans of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, fans of noir detective stories and fans of the just plain weird, rejoice! … Nekropolis is something to pick up if you are in the mood for something different and fun."
- SF Revu
"It's fresh and fun; and I didn't want it to end. Fantasy and horror fans, don't miss this fantastic release."
- SciFi Chick
"An up-and-comer who's worthy of the hype… Tim Waggoner is well on his way to being proclaimed horror fiction's leading surrealist."
- Cemetery Dance
