Johannes Cabal the Detective
Praise for JOHANNES CABAL THE DETECTIVE:"Johannes Cabal would kill me for saying this, but he's my favorite Zeppelin-hopping detective.The fellow has got all the charm of Bond and the smarts of Holmes -- without the pesky morality.Seriously though, don't tell Cabal I so much as mentioned his name."-- Daniel H. Wilson,New York Timesbestselling author ofHow to Survive a RobotUprisingand the forthcomingRobopacolypse  “Is there life beyond death? Definitely! That is, if Johannes Cabal is on your side…The mysteries of past and future--science fiction and the occult, Jules Verne and Robert Anton Wilson--are all wrapped up in Jonathan L.  Howard's  fast-paced escapade of esoteric adventure.” --Katherine Neville,New York Timesbestselling author ofThe EightandThe Fire"Cabal, the detective and necromancer, is full of charismatic amorality, making him both a classical, and refreshing antihero." --TimeOut“Not only does Howard deliver a devilish mystery but he also wraps it all up in a gorgeous ‘steampunk noir’ atmosphere that had me slowing down, every now and then, to enjoy either skulking in various European alleyways or flying high above them in the ‘latest flying machine’.” --Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review"Definitely entertaining, a cut above many books out there." --Free Lance-Star"JOHANNES CABAL THE DETECTIVE is simply fun...The characters and their situations are fresh, their turns unexpected. The work gives nods to many of the tropes of detective fiction...The result is a delight." --The Denver PostPraise for JOHANNES CABAL THE NECROMANCER:“Jonathan Howard has written a delightfully wicked and inventive story on the game of beat the devil. He turns conventions of the Faustian tales into a modern carnivalesque that is witty, macabre, and unexpectedly touching. If you like the dead to have a little life in them yet,Johannes Cabal, the Necromanceris the kind of book you'll die for.”-- Keith Donohue,New York Timesbestselling author ofThe Stolen Child“That ole black magic has never been more fun than it is in this deft and quirky Faustian tale, and the voice is fittingly sardonic as in ‘sour juices dripping from crushed hopes.’ Johannes Cabal may be soulless, but he's also cocky, darkly hilarious, and cheerfully irreverent. A diabolical romp.”--Elle Newmark,author ofThe Book of Unholy Mischief“For anyone whose taste edges towards the intelligent and macabre, this book is a gift . . . a Lemony Snicket for adults.”-- Linda Marotta,Fangoria
