One Response to “The Dead Letters”
  1. Tom Piccirilli says on :

    “Tom Piccirilli is a powerful, hard-hitting, fiercely original writer of suspense. I highly recommend him.â€?—David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Creepers and First Blood

    “Piccirilli’s latest is part psychological suspense, part thriller, part alternate reality—and boy can he write! His prose is a joy to read; he has a unique narrative voice, and the dialogue is right on. It’s a killer plot with a good mix of fascinatingly flawed characters. The protagonist is full of both wry humor and despair and the villain is psychologically complex. The secondary characters are just as memorable.”—Romantic Times, Top Pick!, 4 ½ stars Gold Medal

    “Tom’s first true suspense novel THE DEAD LETTERS is every bit as good as his masterpiece HEADSTONE CITY. And why is it so good? Because while the set up is familiar–man goes in search of the serial killer who murdered his daughter–Tom then proceeds to stand on its head every single serial killer trope I’ve ever read. And turns this into a very serious Jim Thompsoneque look at the possibility of evil redeeming itself. There are so many original, explosive moments in this book it begs to be filmed. But it works first and foremost as a brilliant, brooding, and sometimes wry novel about the dark condition of the human soul. This is one you can’t afford to miss.”–Ed Gorman, author of the Sam McCain mystery series

    “Piccirilli delivers a cast that is real, characters that could be anyone – a neighbor, a family member, maybe even a spouse. Even swallowed in their own insanity, their own cruelty, it’s no more shocking than what you see played out every day on the news. This, readers, is life.”–Horror-web.com
