Death is a science, and also a vocation ... I'd like to think that I'm a performer.' "Eddie administers Death. His subjects, he explains are not afraid, but are thrilled and transported. To Eddie, Death is completion, and he finds fulfillment, satisfaction, and pride in each job he carries out. When Seaton Carew, America's most successful television entrepreneur chances to witness Eddie in action, Eddie's career is altered. He becomes Seaton's protege, together they plan how to bring Eddie's gift to America. Overcoming many obstacles, the partners literally ride to glory on the Deliverance Special, a train carrying King Death and his huge entourage from sea to shinning sea, until a disturbing change comes over Eddie. Nik Cohn's King Death is part nightmare part modern fairy tale. It is a shocking story, in which perversity, violence, and the contradictory morality and immorality of American Culture are explored with striking power, and are woven into one of the most original novels to appear in years." $20.00USD
