Synopsis

Welcome to the world of Jeliza-Rose, the young female narrator of Mitch Cullin's provocative new novel, Tideland. And what exactly has brought Jeliza-Rose from Los Angeles to rural Texas? And why won't her father talk to her anymore, preferring instead to gaze at the wall? And who is making all that racket in the attic? In a story which is at times suspenseful, darkly surreal, and often humorous, Jeliza-Rose drifts from the harsh reality of her childhood, escaping into the fanstasies of her own active imagination where fireflies have names, bog men awaken at dusk, monster sharks swim down railroad tracks, and disembodied Barbie heads share in her adventures.

About this title

Review:

"Cullin's dark and often humorous prose moves deftly across this bleak landscape..." -- Exquisite Corpse

"The prose is a stage set for Cullin's ventriloquism, which is brilliant and beautiful." -- The New York Times Book Review

...faint echoes of the horror film classic Psycho infuse this highly charged, eccentrically imaginative narrative." -- Publishers Weekly

Book Description:

Darkly surreal cult novel about a modern day Alice alone in the Texan wilderness.
