"A genuine tour de force . . . grisly and evocative." - Robert Bloch, author of Psycho "Part mystery novel, part Gothic mad scientist tale, part grotesque horror story . . . a classic . . . so singular it defies imitation." - William Hjortsberg, author of Falling Angel "Abnormalities and perversions . . . demon-belief, unnatural crimes, strange experiments . . . Not for the squeamish, but it is so well done that it carries suspense and is morbidly fascinating." - Kirkus Reviews
