Andersen Prunty's
review of Murderland Part 1:h8:
"Garrett Cook's debut novel, MURDERLAND PART I-H8, is an intense, satirical and, above all, entertaining read. What stood out the most for me was this book's exuberant inventiveness. It is an extremely violent novel that is also an indictment of "...more " | |||

Andersen Prunty

Garrett said:
