Crooked Little Vein is perfect Warren Ellis -- ruthless, unforgiving, and oddly beautifully bitterly human. Plus it’s packed with all my favorite references: porn theories, Alan Alda, seventy-one year old serial killers, and an alternate U.S. Constitution bound in alien skin. Get ready for a wonderful kick in the teeth that’ll make you lick your bloody lip with masochistic joy.”

Brad Meltzer, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Fate


“I think this book ate my soul. Warren Ellis has mapped out the psycho-sexual underbelly of America with a foreigner’s clarity and a lunatic’s glee. Funny, inventive and blithely appalling, this book is Dante on paint fumes.”

Joss Whedon, creator, writer and director of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series


“Warren Ellis writes like a bi-polar Raymond Chandler. Crooked Little Vein injects at least two welcome elements into the tired, clogged mystery field: a a little death and a little life. It's also funny enough to make you shit standing.”

- Kinky Friedman, author of Ten Little New Yorkers

You all want me to lick you now, eh? Eh? EH? Shut up at the back there. You'll all be eBaying my skin flakes and bodily fluids before you know it. And becoming rich from it. Rich like astronauts. And you will drive across continents while wearing nappies/diapers just to see my face, also like astronauts.

Wow, who knew Meltzer was a M.A.S.H fan? I'll definitely plan to buy it, though. Cheers.

Warren, if you ever do another convention on the East Coast of the US, I'll be the one being dragged off by security for trying to steal your precious, precious, mustache hair.

Ew. A world of 'NO'. On the other hand, I am thrilled at your reviews. Congratulations. Seriously. Did you feel that good about the book when you were done it? Did you hold it in your hands and have that, 'Fuck, that did EXACTLY what I wanted it to, maybe more.' feeling? Because I think that is the best feeling ever. Ever.

Impressive bunch of reviews, there.

If I hand't already decided that I had to read this book, those might just have swayed me (unlike the average, pointlessly incipid reviews that most books usually get).

By the way, I meant to ask you what you thought of that whole astronaut story... I know that you're a big fan of NASA/space exploration - what'd you think when the story first broke?

Congrats. You deserve the praise.

You'll all be eBaying my skin flakes and bodily fluids before you know it. And becoming rich from it. Rich like astronauts. And you will drive across continents while wearing nappies/diapers just to see my face, also like astronauts.

That made me laugh...

It doesn't seem like the sort of book I normally read, but I'll read it anyhow. It's all to the good - new things are positive.

You are SO much better than Joss Whedon. You really are. I hope these books make people realize that so you can finally have your own TV series and the stupid Browncoats can go kill themselves like the cultists they are.

Yesterday was my 18th birthday and I received lots of birthday cash. Yay for being legal in some ways, boo for not being legal in others. I still can't drink :(
