"Michael Cisco is of a different kind and league from almost anyone writing today, and The Narrator is Cisco at his startling best." -CHINA MIEVILLE, author of Perdido Street Station
"An extraordinary story of war and the supernatural that combines the creepiness of Alien with the clear-eyed gaze of Full Metal Jacket. Like The Other Side if it included soldiers who could glide over the water, a mysterious tower right out of early David Lynch, and infused with Kafka's sense of the bizarre. Destined to be a classic." -JEFF VANDERMEER, author of the Southern Reach trilogy
"The Narrator is not a subversive fantasy novel. It eliminates all other fantasy novels and starts the genre anew. You must begin your journey here." -NICK MAMATAS, author of Move Under Ground and Love is the LawMichael Cisco
