Hero Custodian - Matthew Dexter

"Every sentence of Hero Custodian goes so fucking hard. A brilliant concept made even better by the pure decadence of language piledriven into it, overloaded with incredible nastiness and prurient references that made me unable to stop reading because I kept wanting to see what the next sentence would do. I loved it and found myself laughing my ass off in admiration for Matthew Dexter's steel balls and ornate style."

-Blake Butler, author of Molly

"This novel is so great on so many levels. The reader hallucinating along with the narrator, the relationship with the daughter, the teacher/student stuff...the violence, the absurdity, the hilarity and super darkness. Endless anatomical grossness and mishaps. DRUGS. I love drugs."

-Paula Bomer, author of The Stalker

"This isn't writing for the faint of heart. It's the wild, hypnotic vision-prose of Burroughs, the even wilder psychedelic moontrip-hallucinations of Hunter S. Thompson. Dexter is indeed a legitimate heir to their theater."

-Douglas Cole, author of The Invisible Hand
