About this product

Product Information

Reviews"A cross between Steven Crane and Stephen King...O'Nan is certainly among the strongest American writers of his generation."--Peter McCarthy, The Washington Post Book World "A fine, terse novel about the circumstantial nature of evil and the terrible fragility of man."--Patrick McGrath, The New York Times Book Review "A sad and chilling novel...It will make readers shudder and think and marvel at a writer's creation of an alien world that seems so real.--Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today "This urgent, economically told novel grabs you at the start and never lets up. O'Nan's novel is beautiful testimony to profound truths."--Dan Cryer, Newsday "A gripping work of raw power...[A Prayer for the Dying] is a rare piece of fiction--viscerally real and wholly discomfiting, but a work so frightfully well done that it must be read."--Robin Vidimos, The Denver Post
