Description

Eli Crisp is the worst type of serial killer; He travels around the United States like Ted Bundy, has the calculated patience of the Unabomber, has Mother issues like Ed Gein and started young like Jeffrey Dahmer. Garden of Locusts chronicles a fascinating but twisted journey through this serial killer's life and how two brothers became entangled in his disturbing plans."A sweeping southern epic. From a storytelling standpoint, the author does a remarkable job of keeping every page of prose interesting, even with the book's considerable length. The author's use of language is flexible and confident, almost playful at times, but he also knows how to be savage and visceral with dark, haunting descriptions. Creating a cast of likable characters and placing them in a somewhat foreign world with delicacy and descriptive flourish makes this book a rewarding and frightening escape."As a whole, Garden of Locusts is an ambitious and gut-wrenching thriller that shines a hard, southern light on family, trauma, grief, and resilience." - SPRGarden of Locusts "Astutely addresses issues of racism. Ruby's unadorned writing unflinchingly befits the story's frequent bleakness while allowing for humor."-Kirkus ReviewsSet in the late 1970s in the slowly progressing racist South, Garden of Locusts is an emotionally devastating and fast-paced thriller filled with disturbing secrets, tormented characters and an unsettling resolution.
