PRAISE FOR THE CONFESSION
“In the literary tradition of The Killer Inside Me, and every bit as powerful. Stansberry is an extraordinarily evocative writer.” George Pelecanos, Writer/Producer The Wire, author The Double “

"Certain to be a Neo-classic.” January Magazine

“Compelling . . . Fascinating . . . Industrial strength neo-noir.” Publishers Weekly

“Stansberry is a hard-hitting, uncompromising writer. . . . A masterful novel.” Bookreporter.com

“Fabulous writing, excellent pace and a thoroughly unnerving narrator . . . sticks in your craw, your brain and your gut for a very long time. No question: Stansberry is one of the genre's best writers."Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind, Sarah Weinman.

“Stansberry's book is remarkable in the way that it draws us into sympathy with Danser, even as we see his weaknesses. He's not a hero, we can't even be sure he's not guilty, but he is awfully interesting. You'd have him over for dinner, as long as he stayed on his side of the table.” BleekerBooks “This first-person account will give you goose-bumps for days.” Bookblog, Vivian Lake
