About This Book
"Chandler Morrison is one of the most visceral and uncompromising writers of his generation, and Dead Inside is a nightmarish, unforgettable work of fiction." --- Donald Ray Pollock, author of THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME
"Not since Peter Sotos' SPECIAL has a book lifted my brows like this. This is Advanced Graduate Level Necrophilia, where mankind's worst taboo is utilized as a vehicle for sociopolitical commentary, not to mention a slap-in-the-face dose of outright subversion to remind the reader that the road to happiness doesn't end with IMAX flicks, Facebook, and Red Lobster. Consider Morrison's description, for instance, of a pretty doctor but with 'attractiveness marred only by the fact that she isn't dead'; a modern-age parallel to the mystical 'la petite mort, ' and Poe's subtextual message in 'Ligeia, ' etc. Outrage, rampant political-incorrectness, and misanthropy-as-life-direction are the moving parts by which this engine runs. The easily offended be forewarned " --- Edward Lee, Author of THE BIGHEAD and THE PIG
When DEAD INSIDE hit shelves in 2015, it shocked the nation with its mordantly transgressive themes and graphic depictions of shockingly deviant behavior. Now, in this new edition, the text has been updated to include new material that had originally been deemed too unsettling for publication. Readers will also find a preface by the author, in which he laments the prevalence of the American Troll in today's society, as well as an excerpt from his upcoming novel, HATE TO FEEL.
