Have you picked up your copy of EIGHT VERY BAD NIGHTS yet? It’s okay, you could be waiting to get it in your stocking or under the Hanukkah tree or other mixed metaphors…but here’s what you need to do know: It’s getting amazing reviews! Here’s a smattering! Plus, the really bad one.
“This outstanding collection of 11 stories uses Hanukkah to shadow events that occur around the Jewish holiday. While eight stories would be in keeping with Hanukkah’s legend, readers will be grateful for the extra stories as each is a winner. Savor these dark, yet energetic stories as you light the menorah.”
-South Florida Sun-Sentinel
“Will keep you up reading late by your Menorah lights.”
-Oprah Daily
“An engaging Hanukkah anthology that scrambles the holiday’s traditions into eight so-bad-they’re-good nights.”
—Paula Woods, Los Angeles Times
“Right away, you know there will be blood . . . but humor, too. Would it kill you to bring a little something to gnosh on while we figure out who dunnit?”
—Parade
“Why should Christians have all the seasonal crime fiction fun?”
–Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
“Goldberg is one of the best (and funniest) crime writers working today . . . [The] contributors are likely to serve up thrills alongside your latkes.”
—Orange County Register
“A welcome departure from the usual holiday fare.”
—The Irish Times
“The Festival of Lights has never been so dark.”
—Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
“Eight Very Bad Nights is guaranteed to entertain and amuse readers of mysteries and crime fiction. Pass the latkes, please.”
—BookTrib
“Fortunately, unlike your cousin’s famous and always mushy kugel recipe, this book’s tasty enough to keep reheating—that is, re-reading.”
—New York Journal of Books
“With their dark hearts and memorable antiheroes, these stories make an entertaining complement to Soho Crime’s Christmas anthology, The Usual Santas.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Feh.”
–Kirkus
