Jason S. Hornsby has meticulously created a dark literary world unlike any other. Combining elements of science fiction, satire, surrealism, and horror, Hornsby has written a novel that crosses every boundary while establishing all new ones. The winter never ends. Buildings are randomly consumed by flames. The B-52s play symbolically on every stereo. Everyone is in on it. The world Hornsby's "protagonist" inhabits is a satirically dark one indeed. Deploring the small-town idiosyncracies while simultaneously embracing them, Lynn Pierson is the quintessential anti-hero of a world gone mad. In The Perfect Spiral, first-time novelist Jason S. Hornsby both subtly and audaciously explores themes of alienation, small-town oppression over the individual, denial, and escape, while asking the question: what if it all fell apart? With one keen eye for detail and stark realism and another for surreal imagery and intriguing allegory, Hornsby has authored the ultimate winter novel. No library descriptions found. |
