Synopses & Reviews
"Lies and Ugliness proves to be a bravura performance by a true virtuoso." Faren Miller, Locus "Brian Hodge has long been a favorite of horror insiders, both for his audacious themes and his impressive facility with language. In such Hodge novels as "Deathgrip," "Nightlife," "The Darker Saints," and "Prototype," and in his widely-anthologized short stories, you can hear the music in Hodge's prose, a kind of euphony that, at its best, is reminiscent of Brite, Koja, Gaiman, or even Roger Zelazny--while remaining, ultimately, unique."
