Editorial Reviews

"Which is worse? The Devil of the forest or the terror of Puritan village rumors, accusations, and lies? At the crossroads of victimhood and vengeance, Abitha makes her choice—and blood follows. —Richard Kadrey, New York Times bestselling author of the Sandman Slim series
I loved this book. A roaring, bloody, beautiful work of pure imagination. —Andy Davidson, author of The Boatman's Daughter
Punctuated by moments of unanticipated levity as well as unmitigated terror, this clever and imaginative tale is not to be missed by fans of dark fantasy and historical horror. —Library Journal
Slewfoot is a lusciously dark tale of witchcraft and devilry ... This book was tailor-made for lovers of folk horror and everyone who wants to live deliciously. —Mallory O'Meara, bestselling author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon
A fast-paced, hallucinogenic fairy tale...delivering likable protagonists, exotic beasties, and scoundrels whom we long to see at table with their just desserts. —Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief
Brom has made a convert out of me with Slewfoot, which takes hold of the maxim 'sympathy for the devil' and yanks hard on that literary taproot, unearthing a far more elemental and complex truth. Demon or no, evil or not, the mighty stag Slewfoot deserves our love and devotion. He's got mine now. All hail Brom, all hail Slewfoot! —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of The Remaking
This enticing but methodically paced story is enhanced by Brom’s creepy artwork, and every detail of the uneasy atmosphere, world building, and character development matters; this is a tale that will unsettle readers as they vacillate between fear and celebration. ... [R]eaders will be both entertained and asked to reckon with the true nature of evil. For all who enjoy historical horror with healthy doses of dark fantasy, witchcraft, and vengeance, and who enjoy titles like Alexis Henderson’s The Year of the Witching (2020). —Booklist Reviews
Slewfoot is creepy, crawly, bloody fun. If you’re looking for a witchy, thrilling ride that also has a philosophical soul, grab a copy of Slewfoot—and don’t put it down until you’ve finished it. —BookPage, Starred Review
Slewfoot is an extraordinary, harrowing tale about a remarkable friendship and a demon trying to find his soul. It’s a journey of witchcraft, misogyny, paganism, and piety. It left me spellbound and my tortured black heart devoured this story looking for more. —Cemetery DancePraise for Brom's previous novels:
Brom is that rare breed: a person who is skilled in more than one area of artistic expression. —Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of To Sleep In a Sea of Stars
[Brom’s] a storyteller with his artwork, and in a very elite class. —R.A. Salvatore New York Times bestselling author of The Legend of Drizzt
Terrific. A wild ride….I loved it. It hooked me and I couldn’t put it down. —Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy
A gruesome and darkly fantastical twist on a classic tale. Brom injects pure horror into fantasy. —Holly Black
Lost Gods is … the kind of story lovers whisper in stolen cars burning rubber from this world down to the very edge of the Abyss. —Richard Kadrey, New York Times bestselling author of the Sandman Slim series
Brom effortlessly weaves classical mythology with modern nightmares in this beautifully twisted hell ride. Heartwrenching, operatic, and stunningly illustrated, Lost Gods is a dark gem of a novel. —Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Red Hands
Wickedly poetic, The Child Thief makes me want to believe. —Kim Harrison
Beautiful and authentically dark. —Sci-Fi
