Mark, I have read 2 of your books please tell me that this book isn't as depressing as Milk blood?
Mark Matthews
Thanks for noticing and for stopping in! I appreciate it.
So, the thing is, I have this ailment I suspect is shared. What folks find depressing I find inspiring. What is seen as dark I see as enlightening. Happy endings I often find depressing (save a select few, ex: Shawshank Redemption). Its not that I'm a dark kinda dude, its just how my tastebud have formed.
That said, I dont think Body of Christ is as bleak as Milk-Blood. It has its moments, it is certainly a sort of strange, unusual book, but not as dark. Your milage may vary! It is a real fast, not long, often times one-sitting read so I'd be honored if you gave it a try.

Hi, I hope you are doing well. I'm somewhat new to reading novels and really enjoyed 'Lizard' in 'Lullabies for Suffering'. So far it is my favorite in that anthology. I will check out 'Garden of Fiends' after this one. So glad I found this because it introduced me to a lot of interesting novels that I look forward to reading. Just realized this is for questions so here is mine: Who did Liz choose in the end? Cheers.
