Quotes
“Head Full of Lies cements Jordan Farmer’s growing reputation as one of America’s most relevant, stirring voices in contemporary Appalachian fiction. Blending elements of noir, regional myth-making, and the occult, this story does everything a great crime novel should: it moves fast, hits hard, and leaves you wanting more. Fans of Daniel Woodrell, Laird Barron, Peter Farris, and John Connolly will find a new favorite in both Jordan Farmer and his soulful, hard-worn protagonist, Harlan Winter. Highly recommended.” —Sean Doolittle, Thriller Award-winning author of Device Free Weekend“Using precise language, noir overtones, and supernatural suspense, Jordan Farmer’s novel is a meditation on the memories that haunt us, and the irreversible choices that determine our futures.” —John Woods, author of Lady Chevy“Jordan Farmer mines human darkness, surfacing with inspired, quote-worthy lines about greed, love, purpose, and the absurdity of living. Head Full of Lies is a page-turner propelled as much by action and by Farmer's deeply human portraits.” —Chris Harding Thornton, author of Pickard County Atlas and Little Underworld
