"...a love story/sci-fi/fantasy/horror book that will pull you in right from the very beginning... definitely, DEFINITELY give this book a try.."
- Marie B, PMGGTS

"This is not a comforting book. But man, it was a good ride getting to the end. I'm looking forward to the next time Grant takes a few shots at our collective psyches."
- Eric Burns, Websnark.com

"I haven't been so stylishly creeped-out since Lovecraft. Lethe is nuanced, highly-charged writing with a sense of impending and inevitable horror made all the more compelling by the crisply-realised everyday humanity of the protagonists. James has produced writing of the first class that evokes the shivery thrill of the campfire ghost stories you remember from childhood."
- Andrew Dennis, 1635: The Cannon Law

"James Grant is a prime example of the new breed of independent writer: resourceful, determined and self-made. He writes without compromise."
- Cameron Rogers, The Music of Razors

"James Grant is a writer whose work is typically graphic, explicit, and extreme. In Lethe, he delivers a slowly-building mystery that sacrifices none of his usual grit. Lethe tells a tale of horror and loss you'll not soon forget."
- Michelle Belanger, Psychic Dreamwalking
