G. S. Richter is the author of In Fear of Praise, a pitch-black literary comedy, and Nihil's Retina, a pitch-black sci-fi comedy.

Something of a depressive realist, he does not traffic much in sci-fi, but he will probably end up in that terrain.

His books can be found at www.gsrichter.com.

Weird. Sentimental. Gross.

Brilliantly written throughout, in a style that invokes Cormac McCarthy but feels more like it was constructed under a microscope than splattered on a wall in blood. Kelly does employ a handful of his own tricks, though (not

Bothelford's Gone by Edward McLaren
"The subject matter of the book is everything. The rape gang epidemic in the UK and much of Western Europe has to be among one of the worst scandals of our time. All of it was preventable, and none of it was justified. This was a story that needed to " Read more of this review »

This is an extremely important story to tell. (Hence the second star.) In the hands of a seasoned writer, it may have crushed. But in the hands of McLaren, it reads like a YA author tackling the most adult subject imaginable. So much more than he can ...more

But woo doggy is this book better than it has any right to be.
Masterfully written.
With clever story beats.
Beautiful characters.
And flashes of inspired prose.
