Blurb for THE OTHER EDEN
Apr. 19th, 2009 06:35 pmI was asked to blurb a book by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marlowe1 for Dybbuk Press. The book's author apparently has an LJ: avantpop. This is the blurb I gave the book. It's not my usual reading fare but it was very good.
"Provocative and intriguing, THIS OTHER EDEN by Michael Hemmingson is akin to reading a cross between someone's private journal and a True Crime magazine. Feeling titillated and naughty, as if reading a sibling's most private and dirty secrets, I found myself wholly unwilling to put this book down. It is a glorious train wreck of loss, betrayal, and crime mixed with intimate thoughts and a poignant sense of loneliness. THIS OTHER EDEN is the kind of book that will make you forget your own life for a while but will also allow you to be grateful for it when you put the book down." ~ Jennifer Brozek, Submissions Editor, Apex Book Company
