"Crash Barry has Stephen King's knack for dialogue and Carolyn Chute's ability to lodge grit under your fingernails in just a few sentences, but he writes in a voice that's solely his own. This is the kind of storytelling that can only come from having been there." Brian Robbins, Glide

"Fast-moving, profane and engaging, writer Crash Barry's quirky new novel Sex, Drugs & Blueberries describes a dodgier side of life Down East." Bob Keyes, Portland Press Herald

"Crash Barry has become one of Maine's most distinctive literary personalities. His writing is a cross between the invasive, tell-all social commentary of Chuck Klosterman and the distinctly Downeast yarns of the late Marshall Dodge." Portland Phoenix
