Corrosion
Author: Jon Bassoff

A mysterious Iraq war veteran with a horribly scarred face?A disturbed young man in a strange mountain town?A masked preacher with a terrible secret?Amidst a firestorm of violence, betrayal and horror, their three worlds will eventually collide in an old mining shack buried deep in the mountains. — Corrosion, the shattering debut novel by Jon Bas... more »soff, is equal parts Jim Thompson, Flannery O?Connor and William Faulkner, and an unforgettable journey into the underbelly of crime and passion. Drawn from the darkest corners of the human experience, it is sure to haunt readers for years to come.

Praise for CORROSION:

?Bassoff confronts directly the traumatic stress disorder of our world today and tears off its mask, even if the face must follow.? ?New York Magazine

?Corrosion is a beautifully bleak noir novel that stretches the boundaries of the genre to its breaking point. A virtuoso performance by the terrific Jon Bassoff.? ?Jason Starr, international bestselling author of The Craving

?Like some unholy spawn of Cormac McCarthy?s Child of God and Donald Ray Pollock?s The Devil All the Time, Corrosion offers pungent writing, a cast of irresistibly damaged characters, and a narrative that?s as twisted and audacious as any I have read in a long while. A dark gem.? ?Roger Smith, author of Dust Devils

?Sharp, original, fierce, a real gut-ripper. Corrosion is one of the most startlingly original and unsettling novels I?ve read in ages. It ramps your pulse, it claws at your sweet spot. Bassoff has a career ahead of him brightly lit by a very bad star.? ?Tom Piccirilli, author of the Edgar Award-nominated novel The Cold Spot

?Imagine Chuck Palahniuk filtered through Tarantino speak, blended with an acidic Jim Thompson and a book that cries out to be filmed by David Lynch, then you have a flavor of Corrosion. The debut novel from the unique Jon Bassoff begins a whole new genre: Corrosive Noir.? ?Ken Bruen, Shamus Award-winning author of The Guards

?Jon Bassoff gives new meaning to the phrase ?Hell on earth? in his debut novel, Corrosion. It?s a harrowing page-turning tale of lost, misplaced, and mangled identity that barrels its way to breakdowns and showdowns of literal and figurative biblical proportions.? ?Lynn Kostoff, author of Late Rain

?Jon Bassoff?s stream of conscious novel sports Faulkner-like as this dark tale is told in first person timelines. It will grip and engage and ultimately leave you shaken to the core. Not for the tenderhearted? not no way, not no how. Corrosion is the tale of a man on a mission from God? or is it the Devil? Dare to find out.? ?Charlie Stella, author of Johnny Porno

?Talk about a book starting one way and then springing something on you?[Bassoff?s Corrosion] is dark and funny and sick, a book as much about identity as it is about crime.? ?Bill Crider, author of the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series

?Corrosion is a fever dream, a lucid nightmare. It is at once poetic and brutal; hypnotic and vicious; empathetic and heartless. It is the most effective kind of horror?the kind you believe. Reading it is a deeply uncomfortable experience in the best possible way.? ?Marcus Sakey, author of The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes

?An archetypal, nightmare journey down a hall of mirrors. Corrosion will burn your eyeballs. Keeps you reading relentlessly to the end.? ?Jonathan Woods, author of A Death in Mexico
