Praise for

FUN AND GAMES

“Steps on the gas early in this pulse-pounding contemporary thriller, the first of a trilogy, and doesn’t let up.”

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Swierczynski’s on a mission to find out just how insanely entertaining a thriller can be, and FUN AND GAMES is his finest accomplishment yet.  You could call it a meditation on action movies of the 1980s, but to call something that moves this fast and hits this hard a ‘meditation’ just seems wrong.”

—Josh Bazell, New York Times bestselling author of Beat the Reaper

“An audacious, propulsive thrill ride that kidnapped me on page one and didn't look back.”

–Brian Azzarello, Harvey- and Eisner-Award-winning author of 100 Bullets and Loveless

"Duane Swierczynski consistently comes up with ideas I wish I'd thought of, which is bad enough, but with Fun and Games, he's raised his game to another level. Broader in scope than anything he's done before, and more exciting than whatever you're reading right now, this is Duane's breakout novel."

–Ed Brubaker, Harvey- and Eisner-Award-winning author of Criminal and Incognito

“FUN AND GAMES is a high octane, cinematic delight that uses film techniques of fast pace and quick cuts and highly visual scenes to rivet the reader to their chair. I loved it, man.

Duane Swierczynski is the bomb, and this book is a white-hot nuclear explosion.”

–Joe R. Lansdale, author of The Bottoms, Leather Maiden, and the Hap and Leonard series

“Cool, suspenseful, tragic, and funny as hell, Duane Swierczynski gives us his best yet in this noir Hollywood fantasy. In FUN AND GAMES, Swierczynski follows the broken dreams of Hollywood out to their logical, horrifying conclusion, where a murder is a meta-narrative that may or may not be greenlit and hitmen are only as good as their last production. I loved this book the first time, and I'll love it even more the second, third, and fourth. I haven't had this much fun reading in a long time.”

–Sara Gran, author of Dope and Come Closer
