Joss Whedon

“Crooked Little Vein is perfect Warren Ellis — ruthless, unforgiving, and oddly beautifully bitterly human. Plus it’s packed with all my favorite references: porn theories, Alan Alda, seventy-one year old serial killers, and an alternate U.S. Constitution bound in alien skin. Get ready for a wonderful kick in the teeth that’ll make you lick your bloody lip with masochistic joy.”

 Brad Meltzer, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Fate

“I think this book ate my soul. Warren Ellis has mapped out the psycho-sexual underbelly of America with a foreigner’s clarity and a lunatic’s glee. Funny, inventive and blithely appalling, this book is Dante on paint fumes.”

- Joss Whedon, creator, writer and director of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series

“Warren Ellis writes like a bi-polar Raymond Chandler. Crooked Little Vein injects at least two welcome elements into the tired, clogged mystery field: a a little death and a little life. It’s also funny enough to make you shit standing.”

 Kinky Friedman, author of Ten Little New Yorkers

You all want me to lick you now, eh? Eh? EH? Shut up at the back there. You’ll all be eBaying my skin flakes and bodily fluids before you know it. And becoming rich from it. Rich like astronauts. And you will drive across continents while wearing nappies/diapers just to see my face, also like astronauts.
