The Dead Run

Praise for Adam Mansbach: "Mansbach has a talent for writing full, memorable characters that seem untidy and complex. The prose crackles with insight."--San Francisco Chronicle "Total genius."--Jonathan Lathem "Beautiful, funny, heartbreaking . . .Very few writers could have attempted all this. Adam Mansbach succeeds, brilliantly."--Boston Globe "One of the most ambitious, insightful, and daring writers of our generation."--Jeff Chang "Exquisite. Mansbach's characters are sharply drawn."--New York Times Book Review "Total genius."--Jonathan Lethem "Nothing has driven home a certain truth about my generation quite like this."--New Yorker "An exciting tale, an action thriller heavily infused with paranormal elements ... The narrative twists among several disparate protagonists and keeps a lot of balls in the air without losing momentum. Highly recommended for readers of supernatural action and horror ... and fans of more general action stories."--Library Journal "Both surreal and grounded in harsh reality, the novel is ambitiously plotted and powerfully written."--Booklist "Irreverent and entertaining. It's a wild high-speed ride."--Shelf Awareness "A taut and gritty adventure thriller with a supernatural element."--Publishers Weekly "Although violent, The Dead Run is first-rate entertainment based on a fascinating cultural mashup."--Seattle Post-Intelligencer "One of the best thriller/horror hybrids to come along this year. ... a lean, intoxicating funhouse of a book that is difficult to put down."--Fearnet.com
