Idaho Winter
“It grabbed me from the first page and would not let go . . . It’s damning with faint praise to say that this is the best Zombie novel ever written. This is just a great novel, period.”  —Premium BlendonPontypool"[Burgess] proves himself to be a witty, lightning-quick conjurer of misanthropy in this brief, kaleidoscopic novel." —Publishers Weekly(April 18, 2011)"Idaho Winteris not just funny, it's supposed to be funny. . . . Burgess's novel, in fact, is one of the finest parodies ever penned of the stereotypically didactic young adult (YA) novel." —Macleans(June 6, 2011)"Idaho's story is the most brilliantly terrifying dream you've ever had. . . .Idaho Winteris absurd and acceptable at the same time; its prose is pleasurable and unnerving." —Globe and Mail(August 16, 2011)"Chaotic and imaginative and clever." —National Post(July 29, 2011)"The world of Tony Burgess is savage and blackly funny. . . . It's a place where you shouldn't trust anybody, not even your narrator. This is not Alice Munro's small-town Canada." —UPTOWN(July 14, 2011)"Burgess scores points for creativity as he provides an incredibly rich and thought provoking read about the theory of storytelling." —subTerrain(March 2012)
