Dead Inside: Unrated

A hospital security guard with a morbidly unique taste in women. A maternity doctor with an aberrant appetite and a penchant for popping pain pills. When the two meet, they embark on a dark, horrific journey of self-discovery and transcendence. Lines are crossed, taboos are shattered, and good taste takes a permanent leave of absence."Chandler Morrison is one of the most visceral and uncompromising writers of his generation, and Dead Inside is a nightmarish, unforgettable work of fiction." --- Donald Ray Pollock, author of THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME“Not since Peter Sotos’ SPECIAL has a book lifted my brows like this. This is Advanced Graduate Level Necrophilia, where mankind’s worst taboo is utilized as a vehicle for sociopolitical commentary, not to mention a slap-in-the-face dose of outright subversion to remind the reader that the road to happiness doesn’t end with IMAX flicks, Facebook, and Red Lobster. Consider Morrison’s description, for instance, of a pretty doctor but with 'attractiveness marred only by the fact that she isn’t dead'; a modern-age parallel to the mystical 'la petite mort,' and Poe’s subtextual message in 'Ligeia,' etc. Outrage, rampant political-incorrectness, and misanthropy-as-life-direction are the moving parts by which this engine runs. The easily offended be forewarned!” --- Edward Lee, Author of THE BIGHEAD and THE PIG"The writing style and story movement kept me coming back until the surprise ending...a most unusual and entertaining read." ---Judith O'Dea, Actress, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
