The reviews are in and Going Native & other stories is a
hit! I am very proud of my book and am grateful that I was given the opportunity to
share it with the world. Going Native received some incredible reviews, so without further ado, let’s see what the critics
have to say!
JD Cowan writes: “This collection features six stories, all
of which are remarkably strong pieces and very different from each other. The
only similarities are that they are all weird tales, proving that genre really
is more than aesthetic and has its own voice. If you are in a mood to read new
pulp stories with the beating heart of the old tales then this collection is
for you.”

Jon Mollison
writes: “If you want to read some of the most unusual and creative short
fiction out there today, give Going Native a shot. It will introduce you to the sort of
energetic experimentation that can only be found well outside the usual
publishing houses that dominate the industry today. And keep the name J. Manfred Weichsel in mind
– he’s an author that shows a lot of promise in this short volume, and you’re
sure to be seeing a lot more of that name in the years to come.”

Nathan
Housley writes: “All in all, an excellent set of stories, with a heavy
suspicion of those who would claim to be our betters, a heavy pulp vibe, and a
place at the Great Conversation of the West.”

Keith West
writes: “Weichsel is a writer who is not afraid to push boundaries or take
chances. On the whole, he’s
successful. There’s a fair bit of sex
and violence here, so his work won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. But if you want something different than the
usual paint by numbers science fiction and fantasy from a writer who will
surprise you, give Going Native a try.”

Misha Burnett
writes: “Weichsel is unapologetically Pulp Revival, and his work shows that
refusal to be bound to the conventions of any one genre–he’ll use whatever
tools he needs to get the job done.”

I also sat
down for an interview with Superversive Press, where I talk about the stories
in Going Native and go into some of my thinking on various topics such as the
current state of publishing, the meaning of superversive, and social satire.
