"Nowadays, you can't turn on the TV without some talking head telling you about the economy. Yet, in a world overrun by 'analysts,' only one man has the guts, the brains, and, quite frankly, the poetry to put it all in perspective.That man is Michael Silverstein... Silverstein is a true intellectual." — Gersh Kuntzman, The New York Post

Michael Silverstein's new wildly funny comic novel, Murder At Bernstein's, about a financial news billionaire who wants to get elected mayor of Philadelphia, is now available on Amazon in paperback and/or e-book versions.
Fifteen Feet Beneath Manhattan
Reviewers have been ecstatic about Michael Silverstein's new book, Fifteen Feet Beneath Manhattan, and its kinky humor, calling it "hysterically funny and outrageous," and "a very funny sci-fi, gothic horror." It is also getting five stars on amazon.com.
His 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."
