When artistic ambition leads a young photographer into the dark underworld of dogfighting, a plot of gruesome vengeance is set into motion. Alex Webb Wilson draws from the traditions of Cormac McCarthy, Horace McCoy, and Paul Bowles to give us a singular novel of vivid, hallucinatory violence. Brutal, beautiful, and damn near impossible to put down.
Lee Clay Johnson, author of Nitro Mountain

Alex Webb Wilson renders his characters as complete, familiar, frightening worlds—each hurtling toward a massive collision. In the debris, the reader is left with the detritus of our world, both terrible and true.
Kimball Taylor, author of The Coyote’s Bicycle
