Ramasseur is a brilliant novel…
This is magic realism at its best.

Veronica Ross, author of Hannah B.
and the Carolyn Archer mysteries

Ric deMeulles’ haunting first novel manages
at once to be a tidy disquisition on the
nature of time and story and the darkest
of fairy tales… deMeulles is a writer to
watch…his voice and his vision are unique.

Melissa Hardy, author of The Uncharted Heart

Imagistic and wildly “geeways,” Ramasseur is
a furious telling of people surviving (or not)
in tough country. No sepia-toned nostalgia
here, the North Ontario sense of humour is
rendered intact – black and bitter.

Mansel Robinson, author of Rock ’N Rail:
Ghost Trains & Spitting Slag

deMeulles’ writing is dynamic, innovative,
self-reflexive and always accessible.
Its strength resides in its relation to a
vibrant cast of characters in settings
where the spoken word still lives.

Lola Lemire Tostevin, author of Frog Moon
