-InkHeist, Shane Douglas Keene

"The perfect blend of character, voice and setting ... is cause for celebration."

-This Is Horror, Thomas Joyce

"I loved it, but damned if I didn't need a drink afterwards."

"... visceral, unapologetic, and unforgettable ..."

-Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Devil's Dreamland

"The best surrealism mythologizes our dreams and nightmares without wandering too far afield of the emotional and physical core of what makes us human. Grind Your Bones To Dust accomplishes this feat. Built on vengeance, it is a burly, wild, and terrifying narrative spoken in clear, unflinching poetry. There's a great deal of Cormack McCarthy in the book, in the way it situates itself in America. What is hate? Where does it come from? And hiding passionately beneath these two questions, the beating, wounded heart of a third: Can we ever escape?"

-Joe Koch, author of The Wingspan of Severed Hands and Convulsive

Grind Your Bones To Dust is a journey into Hell that is at once uncomfortably familiar, yet unlike anything you've ever encountered before: a surveyor finds himself pursued by flesh-eating donkeys in the furthest reaches of Oregon's desert; a mass-murderer leaves the sanctity of his mountain home to pursue a long-lost love; his guide is an otherworldly raven possessed by a 19^th-century American humorist; in nearby Klamath Falls, two estranged childhood friends set off to find a missing father with the help of two aging cowboys; and, a prisoner in her own home sees a vision of death and knows there is no escape.
