Filmmaker Simon Rumley has this to say about The Slanted Gutter:
"S. Craig Zahler proves himself to be a natural successor to Raymond Chandler and Jim Thompson... [E]xpect to be bludgeoned by the journey and thrilled by it."

And below are some comments on my debut graphic novel, Forbidden Surgeries of the Hideous Dr. Divinus:

"Half a surreal, modern day nightmare, and half evocative of 1940s noir detective films, Forbidden Surgeries of the Hideous Dr. Divinus is comic, creepy, and compelling."
--Peter Dabbene of Foreword Review

"IT'S INSANE. I love it."
--Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Grayson)

"With DR. DIVINUS, Zahler arrives as a cartoonist fully formed. It's as if he's been doing this for twenty years. But it's only with this graphic novel, his first, that Zahler has turned his considerable creative talents toward comics. As a medium, comics should feel blessed."
--Benjamin Marra (Terror Assaulter, Night Business)

"S. Craig Zahler brings the same furious energy to his first graphic novel that he does to his music, movies and novels. Forbidden Surgeries of The Hideous Dr. Divinus is a deliberately paced weird horror story with punctuations of cruelty and uncomfortable hilarity." --Josh Simmons (The Furry Trap, Black River)

Fred Have you read anything from Edogawa Rampo? I just finished his short book called Moju: The Blind Beast about a blind sculptor/masseur who tricks women into coming into his surreal torture chamber and then disposes the bodies in bizarre ways. Rampo also wrote stories about other perverse weirdos like The Human Chair and The Caterpillar.

S. Zahler Thanks for the recommendation! I have been curious about Edogawa Ranpo for a while and will explore his works---I enjoy a lot of Edgar Allan Poe and adore select works by HP Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, and Arthur Machen.

Hello, Mr Zahler. I have a question, do you know if more of your books will be published in Spanish?

For years only one of your books has been published in spanish: Wraiths of the Broken Land.


message 4: by S. (new)

S. Zahler I am not aware of any other books of mine being translated to Spanish---though most are available in French and some are in German and Japanese---but I hope that changes in the future. Thanks for the inquiry and take care!

Sam Kench Hey, Zahler. I loved both books and shared my reviews for each with my tiny audience to hopefully get at least a couple of others to check them out. Here's my review for The Slanted Gutter: https://youtu.be/Y7YXlsZ02t0 and for Forbidden Surgeries of the Hideous Dr. Divinus: https://youtu.be/9cpZM_WxkHs if you're at all curious

S. Zahler Mr. Kench,

Thanks for posting these articulate reviews and your ongoing support. Your words are very appreciated!

Zahler

Jason Hey Zahler,
Are there physical releases for your movie soundtracks?
Hideo Kojima is wondering!

Yes. Vinyl and CD soundtracks exist for Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99, and Dragged Across Concrete, some are easier to find than others at this point. There's even a cassette version of Brawl in Cell Block 99.
