Review:
"The dark incantations that open and close "Word Made Flesh" are mesmerizing. The scope of the book links enormous and terrifying acts of imagination . . . A potent cocktail of Lovecraft, Poe, and hardcore American noir." Katherine Dunn, author, "Geek Love""

"A hardcore work of art, equal parts ultraviolence and poetry. Sucks you in and doesn't let go." - Poppy Z. Brite, author, Lost Souls

To call Jack O Connell s novels imaginative, or even original, doesn t begin to say it. . . . There s something both exciting and unnerving about [his] kind of hallucinatory writing. New York Times Book Review"

"Awildly original novel, part hard-boiled crime novel, part literary thriller, and part postapocalyptic cartoon. Scenes, characters, and the locale of Quinsigamond, a failed industrial city west of Boston, conjure echoes of the ever-nocturnal Gotham City from Tim Burton's Batman films . . . readers should follow Gilrein into the dark night of Quinsigamond." Booklist"

"Once again, O'Connell . . .tests the boundaries of noir mystery/suspense in this latest mind-boggling installment . . . nightmarishly original." Kirkus Reviews"
