Overview

The New York Timesbestselling author ""shows how a serial killer's paradise and a serial killer's hell are really the same place"" (Brian Evenson, O.Henry Awardwinning author). When a serial killer hits the top of his game, where does he go from there? William Colton Hughes finds out. Not interested in notoriety, Hughes just wants to do what he's good at: torture and murder. It never occurs to him that he could make a living at it... until the yoga instructor. She happens to be the girlfriend of a powerful and cunning crime boss who catches Hughes literally red-handed. In a twist even Hughes never sees coming, he's not immediately put down. Instead, he's set up in a warren of apartments. Hughes's own private high-rise sanctuary, where his new benefactor feeds victims to him. He couldn't ask for more. But when his supplies stop coming, Hughes begins to lose his already tenuous grip on reality-and learns that even monsters have their own boogeymen to deal with... ""A grim, funny, stylish hallucination of a book-murderous insanity seen from the inside out. You'll be revolted by this guy, but he'll fascinate you too."" -Jack Ketchum, Bram Stoker Awardwinning author ""[Jones's] writing is hallucinogenic, varied, fascinating.... Big names in writing [come] to mind: Pynchon, David Foster Wallace, even Faulkner."" -New Pages

Reviews

Praise for Stephen Graham Jones ""The constant threat or fact of violence in [his] stories combined with Jones's idiosyncratic, staccato prose makes for gripping and visceral reading."" --Publishers Weekly on Bleed into Me ""Jones has done in prose what you sometimes see in engineering drawings where a complex piece of machinery is 'exploded, ' with each component set apart from the others so that every aspect may be studied closely."" --Austin Chronicle on The Fast Red Road: A Plainsong ""My hat is off to Stephen Graham Jones, because he is the kind of author that makes the frustrated writer inside every book reviewer cringe with self-doubt."" --PopMatters
