Blackburn is a serial killer. But, like the rest of us, he confronts the same hypocrisies and frustrations of the world and, unable to help himself, or at the mercy of circumstance, he crosses a dangerous threshold--and he kills. In this novel, we meet many of his twenty-one victims: law enforcers, writers, adulterers, auto mechanics, and other liars. And each crime reveals another side of his psyche . . . and his disturbing rationale for murder.

Industry Reviews

"By turns hilarious, heartrending, violent, and tender, it is like no book you've read before. A profoundly unsettling book." --The Washington Post Book World An absolutely mesmerizing novel that will leave you stunned and conflicted. "Blackburn" is an emotionally challenging read, so consider yourself warned. A masterpiece. "Augusten Burroughs"

By turns hilarious, heartrending, violent, and tender, it is like no book you've read before. A profoundly unsettling book. "The Washington Post Book World"" "An absolutely mesmerizing novel that will leave you stunned and conflicted. "Blackburn" is an emotionally challenging read, so consider yourself warned. A masterpiece."--Augusten Burroughs "By turns hilarious, heartrending, violent, and tender, it is like no book you've read before. A profoundly unsettling book."--"The Washington Post Book World" "A bracing antidote to the pop sociologies of mass murder it so deftly skewers. The boldly abusive mixture of hilarity, despair, and cartoon eschatology recalls Flannery O'Connor and "Miss Lonelyhearts."" --"Kirkus Reviews" "A profoundly unsettling book. . .Its sense of despair and bitter satire will recall "Miss Lonelyhearts," its voice brings to mind Jim Thompson's chatty amiable monsters...By turns hilarious, heartrending, violent and curiously tender, it is like no book you've read before." --James Sallis, "The Washington Post Book World" "A horror novel of contemporary American culture that takes an unexpected angle of attack and goes on beyond Thomas Harris. . ."Blackburn"'s a spellbinder." --"Locus"
