“. . a full-blown freak show of serial murder, psychological self-torment, and literal disintegration.”

“Oates digs so deeply into the psyche of the murderous personality that it makes for rough reading in parts, but the subject matter is not and should not be sacrificed on the altar of the reader’s comfort zone.”
—BookReporter

—George Kelley
