Critics Review
Praise for Half Dead:
“Readers will never look at life after death, or whatever it is, the same way.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Brilliantly written, skillfully plotted, packed with clever dialogue and unique characters, Half Dead brings a rare syndrome to life, splashing its victim and the people in his orbit colorfully across the page. A riveting blend of loss, suspense, humor, love, and reinvention!”
—Susan Crawford, International Bestselling author of The Pocket Wife and The Other Widow
“Brandon Graham’s HALF DEAD is fully awake to what it means to be human: to grapple with loss and injustice and fear–which is also to say it is dark and funny and carefully observed … This is noir with humor and a heart of gold.”
—Kendra Greene, author of The Museum of Whales You Will Never See
“Acute observations and deftly plotted. Graham’s characters linger in the mind long after the last sentence.”
—Michelle Pretorius, author of The Monster’s Daughter
“Beautifully written, deeply incisive, and wonderfully funny and macabre, Half Dead is a triumph of deep characterization and evocative storytelling.”
—Erik Fassnacht, author of A Good Family
“With Half Dead, Graham expertly walks the line between heartbreak and hilarity. This book is a little dark and sad and was funny when I least expected it. Graham’s writing pulled me in and kept me turning pages well past my bedtime.”
—Nikki Dolson, author of Love and Other Criminal Behavior
Praise for Brandon Graham:
“Brandon Graham is a hilarious, perceptive writer. His work makes us painfully aware of our personal follies and acknowledges our lovely humanity.”
—Audrey Niffenegger, bestselling author of The Time Traveler’s Wife
