Industry Reviews "Stephen King meets 'Film Comment'...Disturbing and sophisticated...Genuinely kinky and perverse and smart." Bret Easton Ellis
"Tim Lucas's novel 'Throat Sprockets' is cutting and edgy in more ways than two....genuinely bizarre and clever entertainment...[O]verall, Lucas's funny, creepy book belongs to that polished literary breed, the novel of decadence." San Antonio Express-News - Michael Barrett (06/18/1995)
"Wise and thoughtful and consistently surprising and above all deeply unsettling." Ramsey Campbell
