“Bloody and melancholic… a brutal vision of the future [that] ponders how much one person can take if all they consume is endless generations of human malice.” New review of FILTH EATERS just dropped: www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-filth...

REVIEW: Filth Eaters by Ito Romo
Filth Eaters is both dark and thoughtful: it takes the vampire myth and adds something a little extra. It talks about racism, xenophobia, and the long reaching horrors of colonialism.

Melancholy Summer is upon us— “Fans of Fosse will detect the emergence of his signature style here—recursive, musical, stream-of-consciousness prose that circles hawklike over themes of art, faith, and death . . . A somber, lyrical meditation on fine art and base emotions.” —Kirkus
