Punk Blood 

"Meet Jay Marvin, the first great crime writer of the 21st Century."

-Edward Bunker, author of Dog Eat Dog and Little Boy Blue

"Jay Marvin dips his pen into warm blood and shattered bone and paints his unflinching view of how it is out there. An honest voice in an age of whining, emotionless hacks. He's a friend and a valuable creative spirit."

-Tom Russell, poet and song writer

"One hell of a writer or the hell of a writer? Both. Jay can take you along on breathless rides on the wings of his very peculiar, black and sad songs: hold on and let the rhythm of his prose take you to the very center of his world. Where the anguish of life and death meets with the aesthetical joy only a true author can produce."

-Vittorio Curtoni, Italian science fiction writer, author of Dove Staiamo Volando and La Sindrome Lunare

"Jay Marvin's words have sand in their teeth and dead neon in their eyes. He knows us; he knows our scarred underbelly. There are no maps for the places in this book-bring a large suitcase and keep your eyes wide open. It's a hell of a ride."

-Bill Schields, author of Rosey the Baby Killer and Other Stories and Human Schrapnel

Marvin writes like a maniac. He hears things that many of us miss. He puts those things on paper where they are exceedingly strange and evocative. His work is never short of stun gun sharp."

-Frederick Barthelme, Publisher of The Mississippi Review and author of the book Bob the Gambler
