“Awkward on the Rocks is a booze-fueled murder mystery. The Lost and Found bar feels like the Monster’s Club built on Robert Johnson’s crossroads, where cocktails are alchemy. As Awkward pursues the case he discovers as much about himself as the mystery he’s chasing. Witty, fantastical, and intoxicating from the first sip to the last drop.”
—Mike D’Apice, host of the Whiskey Morgue Podcast
“Having written stories with Marcel in the past, I know just how much fun his imagination is. This novel is proof. Awkward Thom is a bartender you wish was real—pouring drinks, slinging spells, and stumbling into a mystery that could scorch the whole city. It’s witty, fast-paced, and packed with the kind of wild invention only Feldmar can conjure.”
—Kirk Hammett of Metallica
