Slob

Read Slob Storyline:

Review“Terrifying and original. . . Almost too crudely terrifying to be read . . . but it is too compelling to put down. . . . Marks the debut of a writer able to bring the dynamite in both hands. . . . A cause for rejoicing.” –Stephen King “It’s got muscle it hasn’t even used yet. It’s the place where old John D. used to work before Travis McGee got winded. Cain and Dutch Leonard and Jim Thompson and Jim Tully sing in these pages. Caniff’s rhythm and smart talk, Hemingway’s mean, Alfie Bester’s cinematography. It pulls the plow, this writing.” –Harlan Ellison “Terrific! Rex Miller writes like a truck-driver tailgating you at 80 mph. . . . [Chaingang] induces genuine panic—making you read faster than you wanted to—too scared to go on, too terrified to stop.” –Graham Masterton “Rex Miller is terrific. [Chaingang] scratches itches I didn’t know I had.” --Marion Zimmer Bradley ” SLOB really smokes. It’s got muscle it hasn’t even used yet. It’s the place where old John D. used to work before Travis McGee got winded. Cain and Dutch Leonard and Jim Thompson and Jim Tully sing in these pages. Caniff’s rhythm and smart talk, Hemingway’s mean, Alfie Bester’s cinemathography. It pulls the plow, this writing.” –Harlan Ellison “Graphic . . . unsettling . . . brutal . . . hypnotic . . . gritty . . . riveting!” –Rave Reviews “We need these periodic trips into the human heart of darkness. Rex Miller undertakes this journey with uncompromising language and story. This is no fairytale vision of evil. This is the real thing.” –Steve Rasnic Tem “Literally mind-stunning, a Hitchcockian chase through one man’s modern underworld!” –John Coyne “Words like powerful, visceral and monstrous don’t even begin to describe the kind of book SLOB is. There is a primal energy at work here that won’t quit. When you open this book you are grabbed by the throat, yanked down into darkness, and dragged along on a gut-churning ride. From there, it’s a nonstop journey to the final page.” –Thomas F Product DescriptionStephen King hails Rex Miller as "terrifying and original".
