Reviews

"Suggest to fans of paranormal alternative history featuring well-drawn characters and strong world building, such as Molly Tanzers Creatures series, Robert McCammons I Travel by Night series, or The Hunger by Alma Katsu." -- Booklist
"Stoker's Wilde West is an almost impossible novel to stop reading once you start it, full of surprises along the way, unexpected twists, and a cast as fearless as it is diverse. If this becomes a saga, I think we are going to enjoy it a lot." -- Tinta Nocturna
"In Stokers Wilde, we got our first taste of a fantastical alternate history and its peculiar characters. With Stokers Wilde West, Hopstaken & Prusi have taken this and developed it into a world that is vivid, encapsulating, and thoroughly enjoyable." -- The Unseen Library
"Stokers Wilde West is, quite simply, an addictive, clever and extremely fun horror adventure."
"Fast, furious, funny, action-packed, gory, fast-talking with a hint of fantasy and science fiction thrown into the mix. Whats not to like in another winner from Flame Tree Press, an imprint to look out for, and If the little teaser at the end is anything to go by we might have more adventures to come Lets hope so." -- Concatenation

Author Bio

Steven Hopstaken was born in Michigan, where he spent his formative years watching and reading science fiction and horror. He spends his free time traveling; writing screenplays, short stories and novels; and practicing photography.

Melissa Prusi was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, often mistaken for Canada. Shes been a video editor, a semi-professional film reviewer, a three-time champion on the quiz show Jeopardy!, and a Guinness world record holder (1990 edition, for directing the longest live television show).

Their first novel, Stokers Wilde, was hailed by Booklist as creepy and atmospheric. But also, really fun, which also describes the process of writing it.

They currently live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where they love the arts scene but dread the winters. While they both currently make a living as website content managers, they have sold two screenplays, which have been lost to development hell. If theyre not writing, you can usually find them at a movie, local theater production, improv show or pub quiz.
