Stab Frenzy

Stab Frenzy is a brilliant, brutal satire of the art world, but it's more than that, too: it's a work of art in itself, an ingenious and gory paean to the author's favourite artists-the shut-ins, the suicides, the spree killers, the daydreamers who dream of destroying the day. Art bleeds into bodies and bodies bleed into the book: Gary J. Shipley's an artist la the artists he loves, a force for delightful deformation. This book deformed me, and for that I give thanks. -Derek McCormack, author of Castle Faggot Unrelentingly creative, Gary J. Shipley is our most important experimental writer: a true heir to J. G. Ballard, Christine Brooke-Rose, and B. S. Johnson. -David Roden, author of Posthuman Life: Philosophy at the Edge of the Human
