This was great, which was so nice, because I've been on a rough patch of books, and this read like a dream. Harry Bloch, struggling genre writer with a batch of psuedonyms and author photographs of friends and relatives, is offered the deal of his dreams- and nightmares. Notorious serial killer Darian Clay offers Harry the exclusive chance to write his death row memoirs, in exchange for Harry meeting and writing short porn stories about the women who write love letters to Darian. This fantastic setup just gets better and tighter towards the end, with some pretty electric writing along the way. The interspersed chapters of some of Harry's genre works added a lot, too- very clever idea, very well done.
