Synopses & Reviews
Review:
"[A] dizzyingly imaginative first novel....In a slow, simmering style that melds Southern folklore with a gothic sensibility, Chapman concocts a powerful tale that is suspenseful and moving....Suffused with a compassion, the novel transcends its bizarre premise and suggests that the magic of literature can make sense of life." Publishers Weekly
Review:
"Buckle your seatbelt and lock the car doors; Clay Chapman's about to take you for a hair-raising ride." The New Yorker
Review:
"A morbid and lugubrious tale....Too pompous to be disgusting, this remains just a bore." Kirkus Reviews
Review:
"Chapman vividly describes scenes of life and especially death. Miss Corpus contains some graphic passages, but the depth of emotion reached by the characters moves the novel along at cruising speed." Amy Coffin, TheBookHaven.com
