Recenzii
"This
book,
like
its
predecessor,
feels
inhabited
and
alive...
Even
more
entertaining
than
the
Shambling
Guide."—Locus
on
Ghost
Train
to
New
Orleans
"Lafferty's writing has an easy style that draws the reader in... She manages to shape the well-worked clay in entertaining new ways."—Publishers Weekly on The Ghost Train to New Orleans
Mur Lafferty's debut novel is a must-read book for those who like their urban fantasy fast, furious, and funny. Terrific stuff!—Kat Richardson on The Shambling Guide to New York City
This is a great start to what promises to be one of the gems of the comic urban fantasy crown.The Shambling Guidesets the wonderful world of the supernatural--and the slightly more esoteric world of travel guide publishing--on its ear, and the result is nothing short of delightful.—New York Timesbestselling author Seanan McGuire
An engagingly funny, and fun, romp through NYC. You'll love Zoe... to bits—New York Timesbestselling Tobias S. Buckell on The Shambling Guide to New York City

"Without Mur Lafferty, the SF genre would be a much duller place. Mur is constantly inventive, always great fun and deserves every success."—Paul Cornell on The Shambling Guide to New York City
Wit, style and plenty of sardonic dialogue, like Douglas Adams writing an episode ofBuffy the Vampire Slayer.—Financial Times
If Buffy grew up, got therapy and found a real job, it would look like this.—Scott Sigler
Well-written and immersive...a travel series you'll definitely want to stick with.—SFX
Now THIS is the urban fantasy heroine we want.—i09 on The Shambling Guide to New York City
"A wild ride through the secret side of New York City, Mur Lafferty's mighty debut is urban fantasy the way it should be: fast, funny, with bags of action and characters you'll love. A total delight from cover to cover."—Adam Christopher on The Shambling Guide to New York City
"The Shambling Guide to New York Cityis a monstrously fun romp by one of our most engaging new authors."—Tim Pratt
"Zombies and vampires and golems, oh my!The Shambling Guide to New York Cityrounds up the biggest cast of the undead and never-quite-alive ever to appear in a single novel, along with a wisecracking heroine whose picture belongs over the dictionary entry for spunky. This is a comic tour-de-force by a writer who lives and breathes popular culture. Mur Lafferty is throwing a monster party and you're invited."—James Patrick Kelly, Hugo and Nebula Award Winner
"Mur Lafferty is a bright, shining light in speculative fiction. She brings a warm, humourous and startling fresh voice to the genre inThe Shambling Guide to New York City."—Kaaron Warren
"Looking for a very different kind of travel guide? One that shows you therealManhattan? The one the tourists haven't discovered yet, but the vampires and the watersprites have? ThenThe Shambling Guide to New York Cityis just what you need!
Withreallyinteresting restaurant recs and sightseeing suggestions, and unusual (to say the least) takes on the Statue of Liberty and Grant's Tomb, it's got everything you need to know for the trip of a lifetime--or longer! And with the smart and intrepid Zoe to show you around, how could you possibly get in trouble? I give it 5 Michelin stars and 8 Zombie Planet Thumbs Up (with real thumbs)!"—Connie Willis
