Reviews______________________________

“A lavish and beautifully human novel, [First Blast of the Trumpet] creeps into the blood… An utterly absorbing read.”

The Globe and Mail

“An engrossing, redolent, very good book…with Eric McCormack you always sense he’s tapped into something authentically dreadful; you can feel the oozing, putrid mud at the bottom of his metaphors.”
