'Christopher Moore is a very sick man, in the very best sense of that word.''Carl Hiassen'[Moore's novels] deftly blend surreal, occult, and even science-fiction doings with laugh-out-loud satire of contemporary culture.''Washington Post'If there's a funnier writer out there, step forward.''PlayboyAbsolutely nothing is sacred to Christopher Moore.
