"The Myth Hunters is a fast-paced, energetic romp filled with a wide variety of enthralling characters. Golden has succeeded in crafting a story that is at times adventure, mystery, horror, and fantasy, and fills it with believable characters and relationships that make you care for each and every one of them. His gift for getting in the heads of his creations is in top form in The Myth Hunters and I found myself coming back to reading this at every opportunity I had. If you"re looking for something that's out of the ordinary on almost every level, but somehow manages to also be compelling and familiar, seek out The Myth Hunters."
-- Johnny Butane, Dread Central (The Horror Channel)

"A dynamite read. Golden gives himself a big sandbox to play in here, using the cultural melting pot of the Veil to bring in creatures from many mythologies and religions. He handles these creatures with skill and confidence, and seems to find artistic freedom in breaking free of the elves, dwarves and hobbits or the Greek myth dichotomy set down by Tolkien and Lewis. It's a refreshing change of pace in a genre that often relies on a handful of well-used mythological creations."

"In the world of speculative fiction, writers cross the line every day. But when Christopher Golden crosses over, it's time to get on board. Just as he re-wired the vampire saga, Golden's now going about rebuilding everyone's notions of the OtherWorld, the land of Faerie, of Legends. But he's not just re-inventing the wheel, Golden is also writing a throat-gripping monster adventure.

"He manages to straddle the world of page-turning surreal adventure and the world page-turning mainstream adventure . . . to snag the most appealing aspects of both worlds and combine them in his novels, to make the best parts of each seem new when juxtaposed within his work. Thus, his novels seem consistently exciting and surprising. When you expect something surreal, he delivers a shocking twist of events that you might find in a great mystery novel. And when you're immersed in the mystery, he serves up a moment of surreal horror that is ever more surreal and horrific for just having popped up in the midst of his mystery. And holding the whole things together is a consistently rich prose style that stays on the right side of literature."
