The Genocide House is poetic and hallucinatory, a visceral novel of visionary power." - Babak Lakghomi, author of South "What even is this book? Is this the tale of an American Tiresias? An Orlando? Is this book playing with the legacy of McTeague? Sometimes an alternate history, sometimes an exploration of a substructure-American historical fiction is simply and always horror, because American history is just a genocidal machine-sometimes an experimental novel that close-reads formal instability and its relationship to Early "America" and TV's ever-shifting montages. "A wind of murder does come" to course through "this other you" that is the disgusting evil at the root of our national identity, and as these murderous, fucked up Claras run rampant through history, you're constantly asked and asking, "Are you speaking - or am I - " - Johannes G???ransson, author of Summer "Robert Kloss is one of the greatest living American writers--unflinching and visionary and utterly unique. In four previous novels, Kloss has charted the depths of outrage and suffering, and with The Genocide House, he has given us a masterpiece that captures the vastness of the American nightmare. This novel is a black and brilliant jewel, with each slashing sentence carving facets one darker and sharper than the next. As important a book as will be released this year, The Genocide House deserves to stand alongside novels like Pierre Guyoutot's Tomb for 500,000 Soliders as a masterwork of brutalty." - Kent Wascom, author of The Great State of West Florida
