A Prayer for Dawn


"With A Prayer for Dawn, Nathan Singer announces himself as the hip new grandmaster of America's literate underbelly. This book is crazy and hilarious and brilliant and, because the voices in it speak so dead-on true about the crippled ways we live, thoroughly appalling. "
—Mike Magnuson, author of Lummox

Chasing the Wolf

"This isnt normally the kind of book Id pick up, but the premise intrigued me, so I started reading. I can tell you that I was definitely glad I did. Chasing the Wolf is a fast read not even 200 pages but with so many levels of subtle action that you will want to savor each one. "

Expletive Deleted
edited by Jen Jordan

"Jennifer Jordan saved the best for last, however, in Nathan Singer’s “The Killer Whispers and Prays … or, Like a Sledgehammer to the Rib Cage.” It is the story of a love triangle between two soldiers—one male, one female—and the woman they both loved back in the States."

Delta Blues
edited by Carolyn Haines

"Others play with the legend of the blues and recall, directly or indirectly, the legend of Robert Johnson’s deal with the Devil. Nathan Singer does this to particularly good effect in 'Dog Thunder Blues.'"
—Jim Winter
