Reviews
“Gregory writes with humor and charm, offering up a rollicking and quick-paced plot tailor-made for summer…”
—Manuel Gonzales on Spoonbenders for the New York Times
“Daryl Gregory has emerged as one of the most consistently interesting and yet least predictable writers of the last decade . . . A writer of startling depth and sensitivity, whose understanding of the delicate machinations of the heart trumps his need for superheroes, or even for neurology.”
Gary K. Wolfe, Locus Magazine
“More than many novelists, Gregory’s work not only withstands but grows richer with re-readings and sustained attention. “
Karen Burnham, SF Signal.
“Daryl Gregory can write like a son-of-a-bitch.”
Chris Roberson, New York Times Best-Selling Author
Daryl Gregory 
Hello Daryl,
I must tell you how much I enjoyed Spoonbenders! I have a novel coming out in April about psychic Margery Crandon, who famously tangled with Harry Houdini. Here’s a blurb: “In 19th-century Boston, socialite Mina Crandon, a charming young wife and ambitious clairvoyant, has accidentally summoned her dead brother Walter to a séance. Walter is a talker, and once he’s got an audience, he’s on a mission to make his sister rich and famous. In this highly enjoyable excursion among the spookists, the term ‘Ghostwriter’ gets a breathtaking workout. Margery and Me is a wry, lively, and wicked-good novel.” ~ Valerie Martin, Winner of the Kafka and Britain’s Women’s Prizes, author of The Ghost of the Mary Celeste
