Reviews

""Corrosion is a fever dream, a lucid nightmare. It is at once poetic and brutal; hypnotic and vicious; empathetic and heartless. It is the most effective kind of horror--the kind you believe. Reading it is a deeply uncomfortable experience in the best possible way."" -- ""Marcus Sakey, author of the Brilliance trilogy"" ""Corrosion is a beautifully bleak noir novel that stretches the boundaries of the genre to its breaking point. A virtuoso performance by the terrific Jon Bassoff."" -- ""Jason Starr, author of Gotham"" ""A book that cries out to be filmed by David Lynch...The debut novel from the unique Jon Bassoff begins a whole new genre: Corrosive Noir."" -- ""Ken Bruen, author of the Jack Taylor series"" ""Bassoff confronts directly the traumatic stress disorder of our world today and tears off its mask, even if the face must follow."" -- ""New York Magazine"" ""Sharp, original, fierce, a real gut-ripper."" -- ""Tom Piccirilli, author of The Walls of the Castle""
