Review Quotes

"Evil in Me is a delightfully wicked tale packed to the brim with mayhem, music, and no small amount of monstrous, malevolent magic. Make no mistake, Brom's latest is a stone-goddamn-killer." --Matthew Lyons, author of A Mask of Flies

"Maximalist gonzo horror fun." --Booklist

"Like the very best punk songs, Evil in Me is a searing, soul-shredding journey that doesn't let up until the music ends, leaving your nerves raw and humming from the experience. The demonic feedback will ring through your memory long after you've turned the final page." --Scott Leeds, author of Schrader's Chord
