DUST CITY: Reviews

“The premise is fractured fairy tale, but the play is pure noir: Chinatown via the Brothers Grimm.”

—Booklist

“Clever use of iconic characters and fairytale symbols against a hardboiled backdrop contribute to Weston’s distinctive and highly imaginative mise en scène.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Think of the children’s books you read as a child, where the animals wore clothes and walked on two legs and were human in every way but looks. Now take those images and put them into Batman’s Gotham City, and that’s the setting for Dust City.”

—Indiebound

“Weston has created a tightly paced mystery, a coming of age story, and a vivid fantasy…Dust City is a winner.”

—Quill and Quire

“Weston deftly tucks his fairy-tale tropes into this thought-provoking mystery.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Dust City is the Grimm Fairy Tales as imagined by Guy Ritchie.”

—The National Post
