"It's a measure of O'Connell's immense talent that, while creating his absolutely original and hyperbolic world, he also paints a striking vision of the haunting ways in which life and art mirror each other."— Publishers Weekly, starred
"Unfailingly sly. . . . O'Connell is skilled at walking his particular tightrope between reality and surreality."—The Washington Post
"O'Connell is a mesmerizing storyteller."—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"A masterpiece, O'Connell's tour de force has a dose of the uncertainty of Kafka, the fantasy of Bradbury, the crisp prose of Greene, and the noir of Chandler." - The Strand Magazine
A "dark, wildly inventive fantasy. . . . A nightmarish story that’s hallucinatory, tightly structured and ultimately redemptive."—Kirkus
