"This strangely likeable suspense novel benefits from bouncy, uncluttered writing and an effectively subtle evocation of late 60's counter-culture life in a small North Carolina town. This is melodramatic material that's presented in a decidedly unmelodramatic tone. It's a crisp, engaging read". -- The Plain Dealer New American Writing Award
William Browning Spencer is an award-winning American novelist and short story writer living in Austin, Texas. His science fiction and horror stories are often darkly and surreally humorous. His novel Resume With Monsters conflates soul-destroying H. P. Lovecraftian horrors with soul-destroying lousy jobs. His story "The Death of the Novel" was a 1995 Bram Stoker Award nominee for Best Short Story.
I can't think of any other writer as good as Spencer whose books are this hard to find. I finally tracked down an old public library copy of this and was it ever worth the hunt!
