First off, a word of advice:  this is NOT the story you want to read before making dinner for your family.  The images and smells that Curran conjures with his words have the power to actually nauseate you!  By the time you have finished this amazing novella, you'll find yourself physically needing to scrub yourself clean.His characters, as usual, come alive instantly, and are so well fleshed out that you feel like you're actually witnessing the scenes before you.  It takes a true master to take something so impossible, and turn it into something that actually feels plausible while you're reading.  This is what Tim Curran does so well.  I have read many novels/novellas by him that easily fall into my "top ten"--SOW has just join the ranks, among other favorites such as PUPPET GRAVEYARD, and FEAR ME.Highly recommended!
