WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK
"The scene is Denver, the mood is neo-noir. A hardboiled detective with a soft heart is rescued from grieving his dead child and dying marriage by the summons to investigate a grisly death. Peter Alterman plunges Sam, and us, into a richly imagined world of psychics, cons, emotional complexity––and a gift he never asked for. The Oracle Casebook is haunting, gripping, and masterfully written."
— Susan S. Levine, author of Subject Lessons, Useful Servants, and Loving Psychoanalysis
“I don’t have to be clairvoyant to know that readers will love this collection.”
— Alan Orloff, award-winning author of Late Checkout
"The Oracle Casebook is a trio of detective stories with a dash of the mystical arts, all realized through catchy characters, zippy prose, and compelling worldbuilding. These are tales where all might be a little stranger than at first it seems. Highly recommended!"
— Zach Powers, award-winning writer and poet, author of The Migraine Diaries
