Review
Brandon Hughes writes with love and as if the world depends upon him. His characters are full and human, with all the frailty, care, and savagery of the species. He has an ear for dialogue and is a powerful storyteller. Brandon is a fine talent and a refreshing new voice. The Man Behind the Curtain is a gripping debut novel. Read it and discover him for yourself. —
