News and reviews of Mololov Editions and our various endeavors, including our books, theatrical productions, and dada annihilations.
REVIEWS: THE WHITE DEVIL
Stansberry nails the sultry, decadent, and erotically charged tone with one perfectly placed hammer stroke after another. Booklist (Bill Ott)
Perhaps the most surprising feature of this tour de force is its pervasive links to both Jacobean tragedy and contemporary Mediterranean noir. Who knew? --Kirkus
Edgar-winner Stansberry takes the reader on a wild ride in this exceptional noir . . . compelling reading. Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
Gripping from beginning to end, The White Devil is an unforgettable novel by an author at the height of his powers. Foreword Reviews (Claire Foster)
Domenic Stansberry, author of The White Devil
Anything but staid or predictable . . . keeps readers guessing, entertained, and thoroughly immersed. Midwest Book Review
With its down-to-the-bone, spare prose style, … and scenes that would not be out of place in a Fellini classic, The White Devil is quite simply perfect in its execution. UK Raven Crime
A really good book [and] very haunting story . . . Human nature is so bizarre sometimes, and here, its dark side is writ very large. Crime Segments
