The Maleficent Seven

“There’s never a lull in the action, and the mismatched group provides plenty of fun, with high tension and biting arguments between the over-the-top characters keeping the pages turning… fans of grimdark fantasy will find plenty to enjoy.”
– Publishers Weekly

“Fans of dark fantasy that enjoy gallows humor alongside over-the-top blood and gore action will find this group of misfits perfectly awful”
– Booklist

“Coarse, crude, bloody, brutal, and utterly over-the-top…A go-big-or-go-home delight.”
– Locus

“Like Joe Abercrombie was persuaded to write a Warhammer novel. It’s dark and often brutal, but with a vein of intelligent playfulness running through…Cameron Johnston remains wickedly inventive…Soaring and magical, yet somehow very human and accessible”
– SFX

“A fun romp of a novel. Recommended.”
– SFF World

“Like Joe Abercrombie was persuaded to write a Warhammer novel. It’s dark and often brutal, but with a vein of intelligent playfulness running through… Cameron Johnston remains wickedly inventive… Soaring and magical, yet somehow very human and accessible.”
– SFX

“Like Kings of the Wyld smooshed together with Suicide Squad into a glorious, gory, sweary melee.”
– Rob J Hayes, author of The Ties That Bind series

“Johnston has flipped the magnificent seven samurai trope on its head in this snarky romp of a tale. Packed with heart and humour, The Maleficent Seven is dark, bloody, and the most fun I’ve had in ages.”
– Devin Madson, author of We Ride the Storm
