I'm *NOT* an Oates fan. But I thought this book was awesome. Maybe I'm just weird like that. You can't help but put Dahmer's face on Quentin; and that makes it an even better read.

Quentin is a pedophile and serial killer; but his family thinks he's just mixed up and isn't guilty of the horrific crimes he's been accused of. He's been "trying" to make himself a sexual zombie by performing lobotomies on his victims. Can he keep his secrets safe from Grandma? Can he get ahold of the little boy who mows the lawn? Can he make the perfect Zombie?
