”I like to read books that make me feel incredibly creeped-out, but
I'm too young to really get into those terrible mass-market mystery novels that
everyone my mother's age seems to enjoy. This makes it tricky to find
books I love, since most "real" writers seem to think that creepiness
is a bad thing. Not Katherine Dunn!
Her novel Geek Love is truly disturbing — and I
mean that in the best possible way. In it two people set out to create
their own freak show by breeding the attractions. (Yes, that’s right: nothing
like experimental drugs during pregnancy.) Mutilation, religious cults, torture
and awesomeness ensue.” — Megan Walton
