"Many archetypal themes and great works of world literature come
together in this story from 1849 Appalachia" — CM Magazine
"Tyler Enfield's Appalachia is both dreamlike and tangible, and
Dannon's spiritual adventures are as compelling as his enacted
ones. The novel moves elegantly and effectively between the lyrical
and historical, the concrete and the conceptual, the personal and
the universal. It's intelligent, and poetic, but it’s also a
page-turner." — Maple Tree Literary Supplement
"In Madder Carmine, novelist Tyler Enfield channels Mark Twain and
Dante Alighieri and pulls it off beautifully. A thousand writers
could try this trick and a thousand writers would very likely mess
it up – Enfield succeeds brilliantly. This is a mind-bending and
delightful journey. In the same frenetic vein as Patrick Dewitt’s
genre-bashing novels, Tyler Enfield’s Madder Carmine is a few steps
above and vividly beyond. Enfield is an exceptional writer and
clearly, a novelist to watch." — Thomas Trofimuk, author of Waiting
for Columbus
"It is a rare book that slides a cliffhanger and perplexing
scenario onto the first page and then deftly pulls a contented
reader along to page 110 ... Enfield owns a deftness to create
characters you wish were real and a phrase so authentic to the
setting and time of his story that you slip away from the noise of
the world." — Rat Creek Press
