Bram Stoker (nominee)
"Rex Miller is terrific. Slob scratches itches I didn't know I had. I'm looking forward to the next Jack Eichord book."
Marion Zimmer Bradley


"Literally mind-stunning, a Hitchcockian chase through a man's modern underworld!"
John Coyne


"Real muscle! Scenes so chilling, so repugnant, so seamlessly portrayed in their intensity, they can't help tear a reaction from the reader."
Charles de Lint


"Slob really smokes. Its got muscle it hasn't even used yet. It's the place where old John D used to work before Travis McGee got winded."
Harlan Ellison


"This terrifying and original novel marks the debut of a writer who is able to bring dynamite with both hands."
Stephen King


"Terrific! Rex Miller writes like a truck-driver tailgating you at 80 mph in a Kenworth TransOrient. In Slob he induces genuine panic - making you read faster than you want to - too scared to go on, too terrified to stop."
Graham Masterton


"Words like powerful, visceral, and monstrous don't even begin to describe the kind of book Slob is. There is a primal energy at work here that won't quit."
Thomas F Monteleone


"Has got to be a tour de force: splatterpunk at its grisliest. Tasty as a blood sundae. The only question is, what does Killer Miller do for an encore?"
Alan E Nourse


"We need these periodic trips into the human heart of darkness. In Slob Rex Miller undertakes this journey with uncompromising language and story."
Steve Rasnic Tem


"Reading Slob is like finding horror's Barker or King...may be injurious to your sensibilities...and your sleep."
J N Williamson


Stephen King hails Rex Miller as "terrifying and original". Slob is his debut novel, the story of a man who thinks of himself as Death. A man wholikes to feast on human hearts, spilling blood wherever he goes. Jack Eichord is the detective who must hunt this human monster and genius killer. Years of working as a homicide detective for the Chicago Police department has hardened Eichord to things that would make most men turn and flee. But even he is not prepared for the labyrinthine search underground, as he trails the killer and his hostages through the sewer system of the city. Eichord thinks that he is beginning to understand thediabolical man and his patterns of violence...but can he guess the next victim in time, before it is too late for the woman he loves?
