Reviews

"The sustained comedy in this hilarious novel is equaled only by its heart, and the myriad ways there are for it to break. I love this book. Michael Poore writes like an angel."--Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish
"Part fable, part warped historical travelogue, Up Jumps the Devil is an inscrutably charming debut novel that poses the question: What if Satan wasn't that bad a guy? I don't know where Michael Poore came from, but I sure am glad he's here."--Patrick deWitt, New York Times bestselling author of The Sisters Brothers
