Praise for Shocker in Gloomtown

“Libman is the first great, darkly comic explorer of Rockford, Illinois. In his fictional Rockford, word play and comic gestures are the spiritual currency ofthe day. And I’m so grateful he’s made it so.”
-CHRIS FINK
“Realism that’s weightless, surrealism that’s grounding, and a world ofexperience in between.”
-AARON SITZE
