What to expect
From Jon Bassoff, author of The Memory Ward, comes his shattering debut novel—equal parts Jim Thompson, Flannery O’Connor, and William Faulkner
A mysterious Iraq War veteran with a horribly scarred face. A disturbed young man in a strange mountain town. A masked preacher with a terrible secret. Amidst a firestorm of violence, betrayal, and horror, three worlds will collide in an old mining shack buried deep in the mountains.
Corrosion is an unforgettable journey into the underbelly of crime and passion. Drawn from the darkest corners of the human experience, this one is sure to haunt readers for years to come.
Critics Review
“Bassoff confronts directly the traumatic stress disorder of our world today and tears off its mask, even if the face must follow.”
“Sharp, original, fierce, a real gut-ripper.”
“A book that cries out to be filmed by David Lynch…The debut novel from the unique Jon Bassoff begins a whole new genre: Corrosive Noir.”
“Corrosion is a beautifully bleak noir novel that stretches the boundaries of the genre to its breaking point. A virtuoso performance by the terrific Jon Bassoff.”
“Corrosion is a fever dream, a lucid nightmare. It is at once poetic and brutal; hypnotic and vicious; empathetic and heartless. It is the most effective kind of horror—the kind you believe. Reading it is a deeply uncomfortable experience in the best possible way.”
“Like some unholy spawn of Cormac McCarthy’s Child of God and Donald Ray Pollock’s The Devil All the Time, Corrosion offers pungent writing, a cast of irresistibly damaged characters, and a narrative that’s as twisted and audacious as any I have read in a long while. A dark gem.”
