LATEST REVIEWS

"Bottom line, Barth Anderson's THE MAGICIAN AND THE FOOL is the kind of book that wins awards, is taught in college courses, and will be one of the best releases of the year." -- Robert Thompson of FANTASY BOOK CRITIC

"Anderson sets you up to expect a certain type of narrative and plot and then proceeds to drop you down the rabbit hole with hardly any clues as to what's happening but so intrigued you can't stop reading…I couldn't give it up. I had to know where the story was leading and what would happen…If you like crisp dialogue, well-developed characters, some laugh-out-loud scenes, allusions to things barely or only subconsciously remembered stories -- the ones that raise the hairs on the back of your neck, and a nonlinear story line -- this is a book you need to read. And if you happen to know anything about tarot it will just add to the underlying feelings of déjà vu." - Gumshoe

"Brilliantly drawn characters draw you into this magical mystery tour-de-force, and take you on a magic carpet ride into the strange and wondrous cult of the Tarot. Barth Anderson's grasp of the darkness and light of human nature will astound and astonish." --Ann Benson, author of THE PLAGUE TALES

"Compelling...a fevered dream universe" -- Publishers Weekly

March 25 -- The Magician and The Fool ships out.
