Praise for Voodootown:"Sleek, sharp, and surgically precise, VOODOOTOWN is a new serialized horror novel that moves like greased lightning. The self-contained interlocking chapters go from a whisper to a scream with the panache of Anne Rice on acid. I could not stop gobbling these bad-ass little bon-bons... highly recommended!"-- Jay Bonansinga, New York Times bestselling co-author of THE WALKING DEAD: THE ROAD TO WOODBURY“I love this series.”“Reminds me of the Percy Jackson books...archetypal characters fighting and working together against long odds.”“Anyone who is a fan of the HARRY POTTER novels, or MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, would eat these up.”“The coolest series available right now.” “Vibrant characters, exciting action, all in a tightly woven, dilemma filled story.”“It’s a sure fire hit!"“This series really has me hooked.”Attacked on all sides, Twister, Blink, Sticks and their friends have run out of time and luck in their battle against Doctor Midnight. With none of their plans working, things look bad for the dolls and their humans. Will they succeed or will Doctor Midnight take over the world?Editorial Reviews—"Cinematic in nature, Voodootown is surprisingly unique. It's like Fight Club for voodoo dolls. Spicy dialogue makes it perfect for older readers." -- Obie Scott Wade, Creator, Producer & Writer "SheZow!"“Voodootown is a unique place where dolls are less than innocent and young adults fight for their identity in ways that test friendship and loyalty. The writing is full of action and vivid visual effects, with characters full of teenage turmoil and fresh direction. Each chapter makes you want to read the next.”-- Helen Kantor , Writer, Creative Writing Professor"Intriguing and exciting as hell! Bruce Elgin has been there, done that, and knows how to turn a phrase. If you don't pick up this book ASAP, you're missing a terrific bet." -- No. 1 Kindle bestselling author Shane Gericke, TORN APART"Gripping and fun...can't wait for the next chapter." -- Emmett Williams, Mission Man Media“Was hooked right from the beginning. A world in which dolls have not only an inner life but a truly rich, engrossing outer one complete with kick ass magic fights. What an original and wonderful concept with some remarkable depth. Wish I had a voodoo doll growing up. This is gonna be the next big thing.” -- John Hartman, Actor and Author, Sept. 24, 2012.“I read "Schooled" having little previous knowledge of what it was about and limited exposure to Voodootown, but I was quickly transported to a cool new world where dolls are badasses and us humans owe them a huge debt of gratitude. I found myself quickly invested in the characters and engaged in the mythology, magic and action. In short, I wanted more. Did I mention these dolls kick all kinds of ass? Looking forward to Twister and Janey's next adventure and finding out more about Voodootown's creative cast of characters!” -- Jason Hefter, author, “Hump Day”"I still remember the slings and arrows of my teen years. If only I'd had a secret companion who knew a little something about push pins and stuffing. This engaging, story-rich introduction to Voodoo Town has me hoping it will be my new fix for the kind of teen-centered novels we've all indulged in. This time, no vampires. It's better than that, it's a whole new world of occult fun with a painfully human touch."-- Nicole (Ninja Mom) Shaw, humorist, writer, "Ninja Mom Blog"
