Review Quotes:
A creepy, evocative Dust Bowl tale of con-men and folklore. . . . [Rainmaker Rainmaker] is a skillfully written, deeply unsettling book. . . . The events of the first half or more of the book correspond to a straightforward enough bit of literary fiction about con men preying upon desperate people in an evocative setting; but the mood and tone make it clear that something much more disquieting is going on. . . . The best stories have layers, and the layers that make up this tale . . . make a compelling narrative. . . . Give this book a read, friends! There is gold to be found in the roiling tumult of self-published, indie-published, small-press-published books that struggle for visibility in the shadows of the big names."
