Oh I want to shout about this book from all available rooftops. I want to jam it down the throats of literary snobs too hung up on the usual Lit-boy suspects, afraid of people who can entertain like a mofo, spin out a story at Usain Bolt-like speed with characters who will break your heart as they steal your soul. Yes, Thomas Mullen's new novel - which I've taken to referring to as a literary gangster zombie novel, even if that hardly tells the whole tale - is that good, one of my favorite books of 2010 so far, and an edict that will be hard to sway me from as the rest of the year unfolds.
