Praise for Patrick James Ryan
“Patrick writes a hell of a vicious critter story and these little guys are particularly nasty. The cover jumps out at you and foreshadows the promise of gore dripping pages of terror. Patrick has written a novel that delivers on this promise and is fueled by copious shots of Nitro. The action is fast and visceral, like a roller coaster ride. He takes the reader on a bumpy ride, full of gore, claws, and bullets….” –Horror After Dark (on The Night It Got Out)
