"Purfield novels are not for the faint of heart. They are hard, punchy and fast moving. A combination that leaves the reader feeling slightly breathless." - Eternal Night "Mike Purfield's style is fresh and blunt, sure to please even the most jaded horror reader. He is clear, crisp, shocking, and yes, at times, deliciously explicit. I have never read anything quite like this before, with his fast pacing making it a true pleasure to read." - Dream Forge "In the mood for a little hopelessness, confusion and despair? I have got just the book for you: Dirty Boots by Mike E. Purfield." - Cemetery Dance. Have they been quietly watching you in your sleep to comfort you or to kill you?
