Blurbs
- (front cover) Daring, haunting, sensual… – Thomas Pynchon
- Steve Erickson has that rare and luminous gift for the reporting back from the nocturnal side of reality, along with an engagingly romantic attitude and the fierce imaginative energy of a born storyteller. It is good news when any of these qualities appear in a writer—to find them all together in a first novelist is reason to break out the champagne and hors-d’oeuvres. – Thomas Pynchon
- A fascinating first novel. – The Philadelphia Inquirer
- Steve Erickson is a very impressive talent. His imagination is boldly cinematic and his ear for the music of language is subtle and sure. – Ron Loewinsohn, author of Magnetic Fields
- Erickson is brilliant. Period. Days Between Stations is the novel of a young writer who could come in range of Thomas Pynchon. Who might, if pushed enough, become the kind of writer Norman Mailer used to refer to as ‘major.’ He brings love back from angst and gives it a function. – Michael Ventura, The Los Angeles Weekly
