"Intricate and deftly written."--BookPage
"The writing is as fresh as always...Fast-paced, atmospheric, and
dark enough to satisfy fans of Barron’s previous work in
horror, Worse Angels is a crime thriller with a heart
full of black magic; a meaty novel full of creepy moments in which
the threat of violence is constant."--Criminal Element
“Great plot, but the true treasure is Barron's astoundingly
wonderful and distinctive prose style. His descriptions and
dialogue are sublime and, overall, he's a beautiful,
witty writer whose allusions to or forays into philosophy,
archaeology, science and history are enough to make the
reader smile with delight.”--The Day
