"Praise for HEAD CLEANER “A nonstop thrill ride blending science fiction, horror, and a lot of humor. For readers who enjoy Chuck Palahniuk and Lauren Beukes.” –Library Journal ""Those who like good thriller/horror/sf combos are in luck here....a wacky, entertaining, occasionally terrifying story...The writing is light and breezy on the surface but with dark undercurrents that keep the reader just a little bit off-kilter. And if that sounds like great fun, you’re right."" –Booklist “A fun, fast, crazy sci-fi romp.” –Amber Sparks, author of And I Do Not Forgive You “This is the sci-fi crime novel for Generaton X. A quirky, multigenre journey through the VHS era, but you can’t rewind and dare not skip ahead to the end.” –Nick Mamatas, author of I Am Providence ""Boundless, original and energetic...Head Cleaner is the evil twin of Nick Hornby novels."" –Dead End Follies"
