Beyond the Seven Labyrinths

＂Don Webb’s writing in the assorted, sordid, sauced and sauteed stories contained in BEYOND THE SEVEN LABYRINTHS (A RHINESTONE MANIFESTO) exhibits a kind of ultra-sanity, hyper-tactility and para-wisdom found only in the utterly mad and visionary literary prophets of this world. The action in this volume traverses several dimensions never before charted; features characters stranger than your bachelor Uncle Quinn with the basement full of oddities; and leads to conclusions and climaxes more unforeseeable than next year’s prices for ambergris, saffron and dancing girls. By some strange alchemy, Webb manages to channel both Harry Stephen Keeler AND Gene Wolfe, Mickey Spillane AND Robert Aickman. The lucky reader is in for the carnival ride of a lifetime, one that will surely leave him or her a barely sentient lump of satisfied protoplasm by the book’s final pages.＂ Paul Di Filippo (author of COSMOCOPIA)
