Testimonials for Witch Doctor
January 17th, 2009I added a couple ‘testimonial’ quotes about our book today, and I wanted to draw your attention to them.
“I was instantly reminded of a childhood spent reading classic horror comics like Creepy and Eerie… [Seifert and Ketner's] real-world medical/zoological approach is really intriguing!” — Vampire bat biologist Bill Schutt (Dark Banquet: Blood and the Curious Lives of Blood-Feeding Creatures)
I just got done reading Dark Banquet, and it’s the most intriguing, personably-written book on the dark side of biology I’ve read since Carl Zimmer’s Parasite Rex (aka the Witch Doctor Bible). Getting a quote from Bill is a big deal for me — especially since it’s great to know we managed to make a story about vampires that a specialist in blood-feeders didn’t cringe at!
And then of course there’s this quote:
“Nice.” — Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, The Authority, Black Summer)
which just makes me all sort of pleased.
