The Wrong Goodbye / Chris F. Holm
“With a candid style that exhibits solid confidence and finesse, Chris Holm pulls readers in and pins us to the edge of our seats”
- New York Journal of Books
About the Book:
Meet Sam Thornton, Collector of Souls.
Because of his efforts to avert the Apocalypse, Sam Thornton has been given a second chance – provided he can stick to the straight-and-narrow.
Which sounds all well and good, but when the soul Sam’s sent to collect goes missing, Sam finds himself off the straight-and-narrow pretty quick.

Praise and Reviews
“A strong urban fantasy that will cement Holm’s reputation in the field.”
- Paul Simpson, SciFi Bulletin
“Holm’s established himself with this one. It’s smart (the winking references to pop culture alone will make savvy readers grin) and packs a hefty wallop of action as well as setting up several dominoes for the next book.”
- Raging Biblioholism
“It’s a fun adventure, a cross-country fantastical crime spree that fans of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods and the TV show Supernatural will likely enjoy. It hits all the right notes as both a buddy comedy and a horror show.”
- Neliza Drew, Criminal Element
“If you’re into pulpy noir-ish prose and think adding fantastic elements to that is a great idea, you’ll love these books. If you HATE that kind of stuff, you probably won’t – but don’t blame me, because I totally warned you.”
- sj, Book Snobbery
“Chris Holm’s real talent is keeping the plot moving at breakneck pace. He doesn’t set a ticking clock, but he effectively drives home the danger of every delay, and builds action sequences that race along.”

“If you are a fan of urban fantasy, thrillers, mysteries, or just like a good book then I would suggest grabbing this book when it is released.”
Djinn24, The Founding Fields
“An undead agent of Hell? Relatable to the reader? As written by Chris F. Holm? You bet.”
- Dan Malmon, Crimespree Magazine
“This series is urban fantasy at its best with subtle noir undertones and the combo just works. Also, if you’re a fan of the classics in hardboiled noir, the title is especially awesome.”
- Kristin Centorcelli, My Bookish Ways
“This action packed novel will keep you reading late into the night and provide hours of entertainment. An irresistible treat for all the urban fantasy fans out there.”
- Ken Wong, Paperless Reading
“The Wrong Goodbye is an unrestrained joyride that will leave you breathless by the time you are done.”
- Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
“The Wrong Goodbye is an amazing follow up to Dead Harvest, but stands surprisingly well on its own … In my opinion Holm has become a must-read author, as I love how his crime is salted with the supernatural.”
- Mieneke van der Salm, A Fantastical Librarian
“The Wrong Goodbye found a way to weave a great number of disparate locations and literary motifs into one coherent vision. The set-piece inside what amounted to a demon’s crack den was pure Lovecraft fan service. The ‘amoral pilgrimage’ vibe of the second act reminded me of Hunter S Thompson without ever slipping into pastiche.”
- Morgan Crooks at Ancient Logic
