Pour’s grounded view of life and adventure, accompanied by his impeccable literary talent,
make his stories an engrossing and inspired read. It strikes that cosmic chord between literature
and pleasure reading that so few writers are able to find.

“There are tons of novels available, but the ability to write a singularly perfect story is rare. That's why I especially enjoyed Anthony Pour's work because in just a few pages he takes you into the lives of the characters he creates, gives you a sense of where they are, and then, at the end, never fails to surprise you. Pour is equally at home writing about ordinary folk or the rich and famous. It is their human weaknesses that interest him and there are plenty to satisfy his wicked sense of humor that will thoroughly entertain you . . .”

“If there is a representative of the fallen angel, it may perhaps be Mr. Pour himself, for these stories almost always manage to be mean spirited . . . even when love triumphs in surprising places, the author manages to damage some characters in the process . . . Mr. Pour is no friend of ‘political correctness’, ‘whiners’ and ‘meddlers’ . . . and would-be saints.”
-- Lin Rolens, Santa Barbara News-Press

“Starting with the premise that the saints of the world would be nowhere without the Devil, Pour turns political correctness on its head. You’ll never look at life quite the same way when you finish this book.”

“The work is engaging, funny, witty, intellectual yet not too high brow, and overall, just a great read! This book of short stories was truly a hit for me -- I looked forward to reading them each day because you made me care about the characters almost immediately and want to know how their hardship would end. You are truly a master story teller and I think this book could be a real hit. Count me as a fan!"
