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.
