Review
"A bracing antidote to the pop sociologies of mass murder it so deftly skewers. The boldly abusive mixture of hilarity, despair, and cartoon eschatology recalls Flannery O'Connor and "Miss Lonelyhearts."" --"Kirkus Reviews"
"A profoundly unsettling book. . .Its sense of despair and bitter satire will recall "Miss Lonelyhearts," its voice brings to mind Jim Thompson's chatty amiable monsters...By turns hilarious, heartrending, violent and curiously tender, it is like no book you've read before." --James Sallis, "The Washington Post Book World"
"A horror novel of contemporary American culture that takes an unexpected angle of attack and goes on beyond Thomas Harris. . ."Blackburn"'s a spellbinder." --"Locus"
