“Suffused with an atmosphere that suggests J. G. Ballard and Paolo Coelho chained together in a basement while a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, Scarecrow Has a Gun is at once disquieting and illuminating, eerie and sincere.” —Martin Seay, award-winning author of The Mirror Thief“An intriguing, existential mystery, an exploration of an unhappy marriage, and a paranoid science fiction thriller. Scarecrow Has a Gun is positively Neapolitan!” —Nick Mamatas, author of The Second Shooter“Michael Paul Kozlowsky’s brutally eccentric Scarecrow Has a Gun is a masterclass in Cartesian storytelling—simultaneously evoking Christopher Nolan’s clockwork precision and J. G. Ballard’s ultra-modern sense of irony.” —Jeff Chon, author of Hashtag Good Guy With a Gun“Scarecrow Has a Gun is a propulsive read that spirals deep into the intersections of memory, technology, and the shifting boundaries between the real and the unreal.” —Nicholas Rombes, author of The Absolution of Roberto Acestes Laing and The Ramones’ Ramones“A whodunit wrapped inside a sci-fi story and blended with a compelling and clear-eyed examination of how memory works.” —Brett Riley, author of Comanche, Lord of Order, and Freaks“With writing that's both sharp and dense, Michael Paul Kozlowsky's Scarecrow Has a Gun is a labyrinthine mystery that feels as if David Cronenberg and Don DeLillo had collaborated on a Philip K. Dick adaptation. It's a gut-punch meditation on the way our brains process mediation, memory, trauma, and grief.” —Tex Gresham, author of Sunflower, Heck, Texas, and This Is Strange June“This engrossing and inventive novel entertains on multiple levels. It’s a mind-bending mystery, in which the pursuit of the truth about his wife’s murder threatens the main character’s trust in his powers of perception and his very sense of self. It’s a horror-show-worthy take on corporate ambition, overreach, and villainy.” —Beth Castrodale, author of I Mean You No Harm, Marion Hatley, and In This Ground“What an original and captivating sci-fi read! I totally loved the real-life references and often found myself so intrigued I had to then go search for confirmation and further information. Things really ramped up towards the end and I was glued to the text. I enjoyed the dark undercurrent and found the ending deeply satisfying as well as super clever.” —Caroline Lewis, Librarian at St. Joseph’s College Mildura
