…a macho, tough-guy sensibility pervades his … bloody,
staccato-delivery of this Mafia-tinged horror show … set 60
years ago in the Hell's Kitchen underworld of New York City,
as race of shapeshifters congregate for an orgy-infused
festival and a blood-spilling battle for power…

Frank
Cavallo’s The Lucifer Messiah [Amazon Link 65] (Medallion
Press)
is not what the Crowgrrl expected - it’s not about the true
Fallen Angel/Prince of Hell Himself. However, this unique
story was nonetheless exciting and entertaining.
The Lucifer Messiah is truly a visionary work of twisted art. |

The Lucifer Messiah
is ... set in the seamy New York underworld among gangsters,
prostitutes and demons!
This is quite an unusual storyline and many
authors would find it difficult to do it justice. Frank
Cavallo ... manages to do so with great style and
originality ... he has written a compelling story that
keeps you guessing until the very end. This book promises
even greater things to come ...

"Think an acid-trip edition of NYPD Blue
merged with the cult film Society . . . Fans of monster-infested
tales will enjoy the strange ones on display here, several who would
fit perfectly in a Lovecraft story . . . Frank Cavallo has the
potential to be one of the finest writers in their arsenal."

"Frank Cavallo cleverly uses creatures of
myths and legends to further the tale as the audience wonders what
is good and evil and who lines up where including the protagonist.
Dark fantasy fans will cherish this urban thriller."
