Reviews
"Gordon, who lives in New York City, is terrifically talented. . . Not just a good first novel, but an excellent novel, period." ?Winnipeg Free Press, "The Serialistis an entertainingly wicked debut. A literary pulp fiction that flays and skewers post-Millennial New York and along the way reinvents the American detective novel. ?David Gordon has arrived, brash, irreverent and indecently talented."--Evan Wright, author ofGeneration Kill, "Seldom has a serial-killer story been as richly textured and laugh-out-loud funny as this one. Sure to be among the most unusual and appealing of this year's debut thrillers." -- Booklist (starred review), "The Serialistis a book about many things but above all it's about storytelling -- why and how we tell stories to stay not only sane but also alive. David Gordon writes with style, bite, suspense, humor, and heart. Remember his name. The Serialistis great fun to read and the beginning of a noteworthy career."--David Ebershoff, author ofThe 19th WifeandThe Danish Girl, " The Serialist is a book about many things but above all it's about storytelling -- why and how we tell stories to stay not only sane but also alive.

Synopsis
A DARK AND STYLISH PAGE-TURNER FROM A BOLD NEW VOICE IN FICTION Harry Bloch is a struggling writer who pumps out pulpy serial novels--from vampire books to detective stories--under various pseudonyms. But his life begins to imitate his fiction when he agrees to ghostwrite the memoir of Darian Clay, New York City's infamous Photo Killer. Soon, three young women turn up dead, each one murdered in the Photo Killer's gruesome signature style, and Harry must play detective in a real-life murder plot as he struggles to avoid becoming the killer's next victim. Witty, irreverent, and original, The Serialist is a love letter to books--from poetry to pornography--and proof that truth really can be stranger than fiction.
