Better Living Through Alchemy
“This is a fast, fun read. Better Living Through Alchemy is a cozy mystery for those who cuddle up with voodoo dolls.”
-Manhattan Book Review
“Honestly, I haven't had this much fun with a bizarre, occult detective getting into trouble since Douglas Adams's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. But the noir overtones give this a sharp grittiness that lurks behind the fun that Adams never had.”
-Tobias S. Buckell
“Riveting”
-JL Smither
“A totally hilarious hardboiled detective novel with wit, pathos, compassion, global religious deities, and arcane monsters from beyond our ken. What's not to like?”
-Eileen Gunn
“It has a freshness that a lot of urban fantasy lacks, chiefly in that the author is not taking themselves too seriously.”
-Bob Freeman
“[A] deliciously creepy, fast-paced romp through a Seattle–altered by the magic of deities and mortals–I'm glad I've never had to visit. This is a noir detective story like none you've ever read, a wicked confection of body horror and arcane knowledge. Peterson's characters are unforgettable, and I'm waiting eagerly for a sequel.”
