A gothic tale of death and property in a dystopian America, absolutely terrific. The author gets inside the heads of his characters in a very convincing way and draws a compelling picture of their disintegration. The story is gripping and the picture of a right wing society being taken over by a corporate culture gone mad is, I think, spot on. It paints a world just a bit nastier than it already is and then things are pressed to their logical conclusion. By turns horrific and funny, it is an extraordinary book.
