       A New Edition of

       Blackburn 

         a novel by Bradley Denton


    "An absolutely mesmerizing novel that will leave you stunned and conflicted. Blackburn is  an emotionally challenging read, so consider yourself warned. A masterpiece."

          --Augusten Burroughs, author of Running
      with Scissors and Possible Side Effects
 
    "Blackburn is the most compelling book I've read in a very long while. This is powerful, good stuff, not only in concept but in language." 
                        
              --Robert Crais, author of The Two Minute
       Rule and The Watchman
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                     
   
     
 
 
     
 
 
      "Strong, compassionate, and subversive medicine for jaded readers and the blindly self-righteous."
                    
          --Michael Bishop, author of Brittle Innings
             and Brighten to Incandescence
 
     "Compelling, appalling, and deeply compassionate . . ."
                   
          --Steven Gouldauthor of Wildside and Jumper 

    "Blackburn is the best novel I've read in years.  It will do three things to you:  It will make you fall down laughing; it will scare the pee out of you; and it will break your heart."                       

          --Howard Waldropauthor of Howard Who?

    "By turns hilarious, heartrending, violent, and curiously tender, it is like no book you've read before."                        

          --James Sallis (author of Cripple Creek), in The               Washington Post Book World
