Summary: sadists and preachers and lunatics, oh my!!
Review: i can't find anything else on here by mr. macleod, so i will assume that this ambitious, tasty novel is his first. hopefully there will be more to come. this novel is the perfect gothic-erotic juggernaut: salacious, poetic, kinky, quirky, written in a sagacious voice, full of juicily flawed characters, yet it is completely accessible for the reader. you find yourself empathizing with a gorgeous sadist, a whiskey preacher, and an outcast girl all at once. this is proof of macleod's compassion for and willingness to scrutinize his characters... every last one of them. even though this book is full of archetypes, it is written in such a way that you remember how accurate archetypes can be. make your central nervous system happy and give this book a read.

Summary: who knew strange could be this sexy?
Review: pain, titilation, transcendental drunks, and oddball couples that go together like peanut butter and chocolate, hands in gloves, or donald trump and underlings. even the overt spilling of the story's moral didn't kill the suspense, plot twists, sex scenes that shouldn't have worked but did, and crystalline descriptions. if this man wrote the bible, i promise that more christians would practice what they preach. read this book. your central nervous system will thank you.

Summary: A Road Less Travelled to Religious Ecstasy
Review: Quirky, kinky, archetypal characters that are surreal but believable, a horror-erotica plot that twists, turns, and takes some wild curves with two wheels off the ground, and BDSM intertwined with both Christian fundamentalism and transcendent spirituality. If you're really looking for something different in a cross-genre first novella - you've won the lottery! This story hits you right between the eyes - the third eye as a matter of fact. I can't wait for the next installment.
