I'm a little slow in posting this, on account of a month-long back-third-of-a-work-in-progress sprint that's left me with little time and/or brain-power for much else, but over at Dead End Follies, Benoit Lelievre recently had some nice things to say about 8 POUNDS. Here's a taste:
"It's hard not to recommend 8 POUNDS. Yeah, the stories are many different genres, but there will be stories that hook you up and leave their mark in your flesh. In my case, there were three which I keep thinking about still, more than one week after reading. 8 POUNDS is a display of power by Chris F. Holm. No matter what he writes about, his storytelling is tight and his prose spare and focused. If there is such a strong parallel to make with Stephen King, it's not because he's a copycat. It's because he's cut from the same mold as the best selling author."
Many thanks, my friend...

Hey man, it was a great read. I should get to Dead Harvest sometime this summer and be ready for The Wrong Goodbye when it comes out.
