At the center of Thomas M. Disch's novel "The Priest" is Father Patrick Bryce, a Catholic priest with a present-day Minneapolis parish-and a pedophile past. He's spent time at a church-run retreat for priests of his type and returned "rehabilitated" and even better equipped to keep his vice active and hidden. That is, until the blackmail begins, and each demand tops the next. Fiendishly comic and darkly hypnotic, "The Priest" is a spellbinding work that builds at breakneck speed to its gripping, gruesome, and eerily romantic finale.

Industry Reviews

"Wickedly funny. If the Roman Catholic Church still issued its Index of banned books, this one would certainly find its way onto it." --Library Journal
"Nothing is sacred in The Priest, Thomas Disch's nefarious novel about madness and guilt, perversion and damnation, sin and shenanigans. What a show Disch puts on." --San Francisco Chronicle
"A novel of considerable originality." --New York Times
