A Kirkus Reviews Pick of Books to Read before the Movie
Pandemonium: a twilight dimension of nightmare creatures, mythical beings, the undead, and everything in between. To Dead Jack, it’s hell sweet hell. In the first book of the series, the tortured,
drug-addicted detective stumbles upon his most dangerous case yet, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Can the zombie PI and his associate, the homunculus Oswald, save the day? It won’t
be easy. The duo must face rogue leprechauns, ghost pirates, a sex-obsessed shark woman, sycophantic ghouls, an insecure fire demon, and a goateed maniac who calls himself the Duke of Pandemonium.
Good thing Jack’s getting paid in a ton of fairy dust!

Editorial Reviews
“In the more-fun-than-scary novel Dead Jack and the Pandemonium Device...the wisecracking Dead Jack lends humor to the story’s fast pace while the spectacle of the wild setting begs to be seen on screen. That may not be far off, as Aquilone’s noir dark fantasy has been optioned for film. Tony Eldridge, producer of the Denzel Washington Equalizer films, is attached to the project.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Whimsical, witty, and full of adventure…An exciting supernatural experience…A beautifully crafted, character-driven tale propelled by past trials and deep bonds.” —Geeks of Doom
“Delivers thrilling action, excellent humor, a look into Jack’s insane past and a gut-punch ending that has me wanting a sequel yesterday.” —PopHorror.com
James Aquilone was raised on Saturday-morning cartoons, comic books, sitcoms, and Cap’n Crunch. Amid the Cold War, he dreamed of being a jet fighter pilot but decided against the
military life after realizing it would require him to wake up early. He had further illusions of being a stand-up comedian, until a traumatic experience onstage forced him to seek a college
education. Brief stints as an alternative rock singer/guitarist and child model also proved unsuccessful. Today he battles a severe chess addiction while trying to write in the speculative-fiction
game.
