| Posted 9/13/2005 2:06 PM (GMT -5) |   | "Rarity from the Hollow" will come out as an ebook very soon. Please see: www.fatcatpress.com
So far, I've received seven blurbs. The first is on the publisher's site.
The second:
"RARITY FROM THE HOLLOW is one of those strange and exciting bits of literature that captures you with its uniqueness and then lingers on your mind, reasserting itself from time to time to remind you that your reality may not be everyone else's. A rich and original work, full of aspects and images that are certain to make it worth recommending to friends you wish to impress. Not for everyone, but for those ready to embrace the offbeat, a welcome surprise."
-William F. DeVault, author, LOVE GODS OF A FORGOTTEN RELIGION
The third:
"An unlikely pair, the strange Lacy Dawn and her sent-to-Earth android DotCom take the reader on a wildly improbable and sometimes disturbing romp from rural Appalachia to an alien shopping mall as Lacy attempts to save the world, heal her parents, and fall in love." Mary Rosenblum, author, THE DRYLANDS, CHIMERA, THE STONE GARDEN, and SYNTHESIS AND OTHER VIRTUAL REALITIES
The fourth:
"Robert Eggleton is a gifted storyteller of boundless imagination and masterful skill. *Rarity from the Hollow* is a dark, humorous and suspenseful science-fantasy story that showcases Eggleton's expert characterization, description and dialogue. His frank and honest portrayal of poverty in rural Appalachia is reminiscent of Stephen King's use of "everyday horrors" to create a convincing sense of dread. Eggleton counters the story's dark mood with touches of warmth and humor, à la Ray Bradbury. I look forward to reading more from this rare, original author."

The fifth:
"The book reached straight for my heart-strings and played them masterfully. The book is well-written, so much so that its emotions beat stronger than in most any other book I've read.
Brent P. Newhall

The sixth:
"...the subject matter is dark and strong, unflinching in its portrayal of human darkness, and not for the faint-hearted or easily offended. Robert Eggleton is not afraid of employing complex style and structure to fit the needs of his story. The mixture of sci-fi, gritty reality, humour, and the mode of thriller reminds me a great deal of Dean Koontz's writing, and Robert Eggleton may indeed have the potential to follow in Dean Koontz's footsteps."

The most recent:
"Lacy Dawn is my kinda gal, and "Rarity From the Hollow" is my kinda book. Set in rural Appalachia, it dishes up courses of the offbeat, the unusual, and blends them into a superb main course of good storytelling. This book tells me that we'll be hearing much more from Robert Eggleton, much more, and it won't come a moment too soon for me."
--Ed Williams, Syndicated Columnist of Free Wheelin and author of Rough as a Cob: More Juliette Journals

Thank you. Robert Eggleton

| Posted 10/2/2005 11:00 AM (GMT -5) | | I sent a reply to D.A. via email on his site. There is a slight delay releasing "Rarity from the Hollow" -- the cover art. However, I did receive another short blurb:
Love the book.
Here's a blurb:
Rarity is one helluva a read. Buy it.
- Allan Cole, The Timura Trilogy, Dying Good.
Hope that helps, my friend.
