A bighearted and imaginative tale about a glam god's fans.' - Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) 'In an intoxicating swirl of futuristic imagery and existential inner reflection, Meet Me in the Strange treats music and spirituality as one and the same.a wondrous, alien tale, not quite like any other story out there.' - Foreword Reviews'The story was magical and cool and out there (in a good way). The characters had an almost biblical innocence to them which was enhanced and made even more believable by the god-like persona of their rock god. Also, I loved the literary references littered throughout the story (I see you, Frankenstein). Definitely check out Meet Me in the Strange.' - TRL Reviews Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
