Praise for Will Viharo and Love Stories are Too Violent for Me

“Fast, funny and way ahead of the ‘noir’ curve.”

—Eddie Muller, “The Czar of Noir”

“As soon as I found this book I totally related to the main character and thought, ‘this would make a great movie.’ I’d never read anything like it.”

—actor/filmmaker Christian Slater

“While it has all the trappings of Philip Marlowe by way of Race Williams, this book is an old fashioned (if slightly fractured) love story at heart…To tell more of the story is about as hopeless, as, well trying to explain the plot of a Marlowe or a Williams. It’s in the telling, in the characters, in the whirlwind pace.”

—Bernard A. Drew, The Armchair Detective
