The Priest: A Gothic Romance - Thomas M. Disch - Hardcover - 1st American ed

"An extraordinary feat of the imagination ... A superlative chiller with a surprisingly thought-provoking symbolic subtext and a remarkably evocative, often brilliant, style." -- Washington Post Book World "The M.D. is simply one of the best novels of horror-fantasy I've ever read. Thomas Disch has been writing wonderful tales of imagination for years now -- stories that sometimes amuse, sometimes sting, sometimes horrify, and sometimes manage to do all three at the same time -- but The M.D. is surely his magnum opus." -- Stephen King "A seductive premise ... as morally subversive as a Hitchcock movie ... The M.D. fully, and brilliantly, earns its subtitle: a horror story." -- Entertainment Weekly "Each new page, like an electric eel, is poised to shock." -- Los Angeles Times "I read Thomas M. Disch's The M.D. with pure delight ... A story that, regardless of its subtitle, breaks all the genre chains. It is suspenseful, engrossing, full of well-observed and convincing characters, steeped in irony, sly, often darkly hilarious yet with serious intentions that give it considerable impact." -- Dean Koontz "A truly stunning work of supernatural horror." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Resonate[s] with surprise and menace ... Surely the liveliest horror novel since Clive Barker's The Damnation Game." -- USA TodayDisch, Thomas M. is the author of 'The Priest: A Gothic Romance - Thomas M.
