Fiction e-Book-of-the-Month, May 2001. STEPHEN KING HAILS REX MILLER as "terrifying and original". Slob is his debut novel, the story of a man who thinks of himself as Death. A man who likes to feast on human hearts, spilling blood wherever he goes. Jack Eichord is the detective who must hunt this human monster and genius killer. Years of working as a homicide detective for the Chicago Police department has hardened Eichord to things that would make most men turn and flee. But even he is not prepared for the labyrinthine search underground, as he trails the killer and his hostages through the sewer system of the city. Eichord thinks that he is beginning to understand the diabolical man and his patterns of violence...but can he guess the next victim in time, before it is too late for the woman he loves? "Terrifying and original...Almost too crudely terrifying to be read... but it is too compelling to put down...Marks the debut of a writer able to bring the dynamite in both hands...A cause for rejoicing." - Stephen King "It's got muscle it hasn't even used yet. It's the place where old John D. used to work before Travis McGee got winded. Cain and Dutch Leonard and Jim Thompson and Jim Tully sing in these pages. Caniff's rhythm and smart talk, Hemingway's mean, Alfie Bester's cinematography. It pulls the plow, this writing." - Harlan Ellison "Intense, ugly, effective, and eerily persuasive. Rex Miller is a writer to watch!" - Piers Anthony "Rex Miller is terrific. [Chaingang] scratches itches I didn't know I had." - Marion Zimmer Bradley "Terrific! Rex Miller writes like a truck-driver tailgating you at 80 mph... [Chaingang] induces genuine panic-making you read faster than you wanted to - too scared to go on, too terrified to stop." - Graham Masterton "Graphic...unsettling...brutal...hypnotic...gritty...riveting!" - Rave Reviews "Cheerfully malevolent...[Chaingang] was an abused child who then went through the meat grinder of state care, became a murderer, a Vietnam vet and, finally, a serial killer...Fans for whom Stephen King doesn't write fast enough...should have a ripping good time." - Publishers Weekly
