Reviewers of this five-star comic novel have been ecstatic about its kinky humor, calling "Fifteen Feet Beneath Manhattan" "hysterically funny and outrageous," and "a very funny sci-fi, gothic horror."

More DescriptionReviewers of this five-star comic novel have been ecstatic about its kinky humor, calling "Fifteen Feet Beneath Manhattan" "hysterically funny and outrageous," and "a very funny sci-fi, gothic horror." Michael Silverstein's book is a wild riff about some very strange doings under the streets of Gotham in 1973. A criminal society has taken root there along with a pollution-spawned new chain of life, both of which must be destroyed by an elite, secretly created military unit headed by a guy planning a coup d'état. All that stands in the way of New York City descending into utter chaos, the country getting a military dictator, and the destruction of our present natural order, is a bumbling alternative newspaper reporter with landlord problems, and a pistol-toting feminist with anger issues. Joe Gandelman, Editor-In-Chief in Arts & Entertainment at The Moderate Voice wrote in his review of Fifteen Feet Beneath Manhattan: "The only question in reading this book is exactly where has Silverstein been HIDING all these years as a fiction writer? He is a GREAT writer and enthralling storyteller whose writing packs a hay-maker punch with vividly constructed scenes and punchy, realistic dialogue - a writer who easily elicits a chuckle or two (or more)... I could easily see him selling a script to Hollywood."
