OMG
This looks so far out of control, either in terms of gritty, intense realism, or for its in your face social commentary, that I am in total, breathless awe.
No. Not a big horror flick kind of guy. They scare the crap out of me because I'm very gullible. Just like at magic shows--I always think it's really magic...
Yes, the book arrived and I finished it and it was well done! I read the second half of the book in one sitting and didn't even realize how much I had read!! Nice twist in the middle and what an ending (no spoilers)!! Thanks for sending it! Point me to whereever I can give a layman's review. Thanks!
Location: Cornwall on Hudson, New York, United States
I am a professor of religious studies, and the author of several books on the Bible and theology. I grew up in New York, Virginia, and New Mexico. I attended St. John's College, Annapolis, MD (BA, 1988), Harvard Divinity School (MTS, 1990), and the University of Notre Dame (PhD, 1995). I live in upstate New York with my wife and two wonderful kids.
Starting in 2006, I had one of those strange midlife things, and turned my analysis towards horror films and literature. I have written
Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth (Baylor, 2006) - WINNER, 2006 Bram Stoker Award;
Dying to Live: A Novel of Life among the Undead (Permuted Press, 2007);
Orpheus and the Pearl(Magus Press, 2008); and
Dying to Live: Life Sentence(Permuted Press, 2008).

I can't imagine you as the horror fan, Mic. But I won't hold it against you. Hey - did the book arrive?
