Years Of Rage

by Joseph Suglia

Inspired by the Columbine High Massacre, Years of Rage takes place inside of the head of a schoolboy who is bent on murdering his classmates. We, as readers, see what he sees. We think what he thinks. We feel what he feels. We enter a nightmarish world in which it is impossible to separate objective reality from the phantoms of the mind, a world where there are no limits, a world where desire gears toward destruction, a world where love merges with violence. The novel speeds at an unrelenting pace toward an explosive climax, never giving readers a chance to catch their breath.

Years of Rage is the only attempt to confront the phenomenon of school shootings in novelistic form. The book is easily the most scandalous novel since American Psycho, although it goes places the latter work never dared.

[Heather Colacurcio · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brutal and disturbing with an honesty that forces us to see things from a different perspective. Remarkable book that is relatively unknown.
