“Loved this damned book. Funny, horrific and killer great ending. Wonderful and wicked.“—Patterson Hood, Drive-By Truckers, writer, performer

"Hollingsworth has written a masterpiece… and it is stunning… His ear for language, his eye for telling details, his sense of humanity caught in the forces of good and evil, with the cosmic shooting right into the everyday… (his) words spin their magic over us so that (these characters) rise into the realm of great literature, because this becomes not just a story, but life itself. This book is layered, and it goes deep."—Pete McCommons, Flagpole Magazine

"With irony, subtle poignancy and humor, JD Hollingsworth explores alienation in late 20th Century America through inventively evoked sociocultural contexts. Cynical loners, self-deluded dreamers or simply survivors—teeter on the edge between misfit and Everyman... His depiction of the denizens of an imaginary town in rural South Georgia is particularly brilliant for its portrayal of a layered multitude of social identities that historical forces have created. A fascinating read!"—Dr. Martha LaFollette Miller, University of North Carolina
