The reviews are coming in clumps today - a good omen for the Book Expo America, which starts Friday. The first was from DeadRooster (great name, great humor blog, even better review), and the second comes from Odyssey Reviews. But "new accolades" doesn't just refer to another good review -- it actually refers to new accoldaes, as in a new award. Inspired by Cluck, awarded by Odyssey, is the son-to-be-coveted "Award of 'indie' Excellence".

All I can say is, "wow." I'm honored. This is the point where I try to thank everyone who helped, and the TV people have to turn up the music to get me off the stage, because I start blathering.

"Eric D. Knapp's "Cluck: Murder Most Fowl" is one of the best books we've reviewed so far on Odyssey Reviews. This tongue-in-cheek (or beak) work of brilliance will surely make you laugh. The writing is on par with the likes of Terry Pratchett. The story is brilliant, the writing unbelievably good"

A new award, and another comparison to Terry Pratchett (one of my literary heros). I think I'll be celebrating tonight with a martini or ten.

From DeadRooster.com:

"Cluck is extremely well-written and is story-telling at its best. Author Eric D. Knapp shows his skills by successfully blending the difficult combination of humor and horror ..."

The new book by Eric D. Knapp has elements of horror mixed with side-splitting humor. Read a review of this fantastic supernatural comedy-thriller at DeadRooster.com

Cluck might be a Murder Most Fowl but it's also a Book Best Written: announcements were sent out last night by Independent Publisher and Cluck was on the list! This is a big award for independent authors: IP is a respected organization, and over 3,000 books were entered in this year's competition. And Cluck, your fav zombie chicken book, won! Can I get a "Hell Yeah!"

... [sounds of crickets chirping] ...

Okay, so I guess I need to attract a larger readership before I can get a Hell Yeah, but at least I won an award. Now, if you'll pardon me while I pat myself on the back ...

Kimberly Swan of DarqueReviews wrote a nice review of Cluck: Murder Most Fowl. A brief excerpt:

"Mr. Knapp entertains readers with a well-written and detailed world that has many twists, turns and horrors to experience along the way. While zombie chickens may not be at the top of your list of interests, the bizarre nature of this story will keep readers turning the pages to see where it will lead. It's an unusual tale that falls more on the light side of horror than anything else, and it's one that anyone who reads it won't soon forget."

Wait, if I put on my marketing hat, I can make that event better:

"Mr. Knapp entertains readers with a well-written and detailed world that ... will keep readers turning the pages to see where it will lead. It's an unusual tale ... one that anyone who reads it won't soon forget."

Wait, I can do even better than that:
