I thought I was thick skinned, but the amount of gushing in this "puff" piece about my story was over the top, even for me
"Willie Meikle’s signature tempo has kept chins glued and shivering on the horror derby rail for more than a decade, with even his grittiest readers always longing for the safety of the finish line, fans that are guaranteed left feeling the welts of Willie’s literary whip for days thereafter."
Now, I understand it's a horse racing analogy... but trust me, there are no horses anywhere in the story....
It goes on...
"When I finished reading “From Between,” I sensed beside me sitting in the shadows Edgar Allan Poe—not as a writer but as a fan"
Please ... no! Too much already!
There's more, but I won't inflict it on you

Anybody else been embarrassed by an over zealous marketing dept?
