Description
A ';demented and deeply enjoyable' tale of a father journeying into a strange world to save his son (Los Angeles Times).
In this fantastic tale that ';blends the out-there mysticism of H. P. Lovecraft, the dark corridors and femme fatales of Dashiell Hammett, and the pulpy, lurid qualities of '50s comic books,' a man named Sweeney, hoping for a miracle for his comatose son, Danny, journeys to the fortress-like Peck Clinic (Minneapolis Star-Tribune). The doctors there claim to have ';resurrected' patients who were similarly lost in the voidbut the real cure for his son's condition may lie in Limbo, a comic book world beloved by Danny.
Nominated for a Shirley Jackson Award, this spellbinding novel about stories and what they can do forand tothose who create and consume them is ';a wild, surreal and thought-provoking ride' that explores the power of the unknown, the need for forgiveness, and the nature of consciousness itself (San Francisco Chronicle).
';A genre-busting novel... Strange, gripping, [and] possessed of a whole lot of vision.' The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
';To call Jack O'Connell's novels imaginative, or even original, doesn't begin to say it.' The New York Times Book Review
