More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Two novellas devoted to the origins and pervasive power of evil in our society. Both have strong visual and cinematic qualities and it's no surprise that each has been optioned for adaptation into motion pictures.
Calling Righteous Blood a "horror" offering does the book a grave disservice, especially in light of the sub-literate novels and stories that genre has produced over the past decade or more. This is a tightly crafted, intensely powerful look at the evil men and women do, the lack of morality that permeates our culture on every level.
Cliff Burns has specialized in presenting moral tales and fables and the Canadian author has earned a cult reputation for his unique, evocative narratives that present troubling scenarios without offering easy or pat answers.
"An astonishing feat of fictive shape-changing...an amazement to behold...the whole book's a surprise well worth the reading." Locus Magazine (USA)
Two novellas that ruthlessly examine the very definition of terms like "good" and "evil". Both have strong, visual and cinematic qualities, which is why they were optioned for adaptation into motion pictures.
RIGHTEOUS BLOOD has been praised for its power and originality. It is unrelenting in its intensity, a stark reminder that for the past 25 years author Cliff Burns has specialized at creating moments of genuine fear and suspense. As a reviewer in Factsheet Five noted: "Burns writes like Hitchcock directs, producing gooseflesh without monsters. And that is the scariest kind of writing there is".
