Description on Back Cover:
It's hard to catch a break when you're the woefully underfunded Department of Extraordinary Affairs's lone psychometrist.
In the aftermath of a nefarious plot by some lowdown, dirty cultists, Simon's hoping New York City's paranormal scene will stay quiet for awhile...but the uncanny has an uncanny knack for ruining Simon's day.
When a Hudson River booze cruise sails into port full of bodies--drained of blood, no less--Simon thinks he may soon be hearing a lot of the dreaded V word (vampires), as well as the dreaded P word (paperwork). And if things weren't hectic enough at the DEA, his girlfriend is studying technomancy a little too closely with her boss, his mentor seems to be hiding something from him, and a dangerous flame from his criminal past has blown into town and threatens to make his life a living hell unless he helps her out with one last art heist. Oubliettes, living statues, Illinois gypsies, more zombies that you can shake a retractable steel bat at... it's all just another day at the office for Simon Canderous.

seanan_mcguire: DEADER STILL is coming your way!
Then Anton made what was either a fatal mistake, or a majorly good move, and started waving shiny banners in the air, hence attracting my mercurial coyote-girl attention. "What do you want?" I asked. "I want you to be awed by the awesome of my new book," he said. "Hmm," I said. "Also, look, shiny things," he added. "New best friend!" I cried. Because my love is always for sale, ladies and gentlemen; always for sale. . . . **more**
Jim C. Hines - Deader Still, by Anton Strout
Deader Still, by Anton Strout comes out on Tuesday the 24th, but should already be showing up in bookstores. I was fortunate enough to get an early copy, because apparently someone at Penguin likes me.
Note: Anton works at Penguin. I think this is coincidence. Anton doesn't like anyone. Except maybe Amber Benson, who also said nice things about Deader Still. Gr ... Anton has Amber Benson, Pat Rothfuss has Felicia Day ... when do I get a famous Hollywood actress saying nice things about my book? . . . **more**
[review] DEADER STILL by Anton Strout << Urban Fantasy Land
Although the police/detective style of Urban Fantasy may not be original, Strout’s take on it certainly is. It’s humorous without being schlocky, irreverent without being insulting and poignant at times as well. I also admit that I love the goofy names for the courses on the D.E.A. pamphlets too. . . . **more**
Babbling About Books, and More: Deader Still Book Review *Anton Strout*
Simon Canderous is back in Deader Still, the second book from Anton Strout about a guy with some very interesting powers working for the secret Department of Extraordinary Affairs (D.E.A.) in New York City. I really enjoyed the first book, Dead To Me and now with Deader Still I can certainly say that Anton has quite the future . . . **more**
Deader Still: Reviewed by SciFiChick.com
For Simon Canderous, an agent for the Department of Extraordinary Affairs, seeing ghosts and getting attacked by zombies are normal occurrences. But when a former colleague comes back into his life, she brings extra complications into his already strained relationship . . . **more**
Deader Still by Anton Strout: Reviewed by Bitten by Books
Simon Canderous returns in Deader Still, the sequel to Dead to Me. Who would have thought that working for the Department of Extraordinary Affairs involved so much red tape. Simon is lucky he is still able to use his psychometry . . . **more**
SFRevu Review: Review by Drew Bittner
In Deader Still, sequel to Dead To Me, author Anton Strout sends Simon (a rookie in New York City's Department of Extraordinary Affairs) on a high stakes assignment: find out what killed (and drained the blood from) a boatload of lawyers.
