Recently released, Josh Rountree’s debut novel THE LEGEND OF CHARLIE FISH storms it way to amazing reviews from Entropy Isn’t What it Used to Be, Horror DNA, The Book Lover’s Boudoir, Captain’s Quarters, and Paul Preston. The celebrations for its publication included Rountree contributions to The Big Idea on John Scalzi’s Whatever and Mary Robinette Kowal’s My Favorite Bit. Paul Semel interviewed the author while Civilian Reader ran an excerpt.

This is a gripping, compelling and highly entertaining novel that kept hooked and turning pages and surprised me at each turn with new marvels and wonderful twists.

It’s poignant, full of emotions, a bit weird at times: it made me cry buckets and smile. It made me discover a new author and I thoroughly enjoyed this story

i strongly recommend it because it’s a brilliant novel.

Entropy Isn’t What it Used to Be

THE LEGEND OF CHARLIE FISH is ultimately fun, full of deep character work and heartfelt emotion. Charlie Fish could be just a plot device but is instead a fleshed-out and real character who feels like one of the strange and makeshift family.

Horror DNA

This is a well-written, entertaining, and hugely original book. I thought it was great.

The Book Lover’s Boudoir

Recommended for those who like quirky characters and historical details.

Captain’s Quarters
