It’s a taut, intelligent, heart-ripping story that explores the darkest places in the human psyche. “Eskens has conjured up a marvelously black spirit of a novel. "With just two books to his name, I have put on my ‘must read’ list.” "Readers looking for a new voice should pay attention to Eskens.” “Eskens’s elegant but chilly prose, like winter in the blood, is well suited to this fiercely told morality tale (and its deeply cynical ending), which is sure to send all of us wretched sinners straight to hell.”
