About This Item
Suntup Editions, 2023. Book. Illus. by Laurel Hausler. Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Illustrator(s). First Edition/First Printing. Written in the form of journal entries-collections of thoughts broken up by screaming capital letters and crude marker drawings-Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates is a brilliant, unflinching journey into the psychotic consciousness of a serial killer. Zombie views the world through the eyes of Quentin P., newly paroled sex offender, as he chillingly evolves from rapist to mass murderer. With each page of his diary, Quentin details his obsession with creating a "zombie"-a lobotomized young man to serve as a sex slave-while interspersing recollections of his past nefarious deeds. Devastating in its impact, Zombie provides a psychologically astute portrait of the cold calculation and dark obsession that can make a serial killer horrifyingly successful and maddeningly elusive. Upon its publication in 1995, Zombie was proclaimed the author's "boldest, most disturbing masterwork. demonstrating why Oates ranks among America's most respected and accomplished literary artists." Bestselling author and psychiatrist Peter D. Kramer wrote of the novel, "At the heart of Zombie are chastening paradoxes: Depicting the worst in human nature, Oates embodies our saving virtues, empathy, imagination and wonder. Zombie succeeds at a profound level, simultaneously horrifying the reader and demonstrating that nothing human is alien to us." Zombie was awarded the 1995 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel. ARTIST EDITION 6" x 9" trim size. 176 Pages. Limited to 750 unnumbered copies. Signed by Laurel Hausler. Full cloth binding. Foil blocked cover. New exclusive introduction by Joyce Carol Oates. Six mixed media illustrations by Laurel Hausler. Dust jacket illustrated by Laurel Hausler (the only edition featuring this illustrated dust jacket). Printed offset on archival Cougar Opaque paper. Housed in a slipcase covered with black Skivertex. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND NORMALLY SHIPS NEXT DAY. .
Synopsis
Meet Quentin P.He is a problem for his professor father and his loving mother, though of course they do not believe the charge (sexual molestation of a minor) that got him in that bit of trouble.He is a challenge for his court-appointed psychiatrist, who nonetheless is encouraged by the increasingly affirmative quality of his dreams and his openness in discussing them.He is a thoroughly sweet young man for his wealthy grandmother, who gives him more and more, and can deny him less and less.He is the most believable and thoroughly terrifying sexual psychopath and killer ever to be brought to life in fiction, as Joyce Carol Oates achieves her boldest and most brilliant triumph yet-a dazzling work of art that extends the borders of the novel into the darkest heart of truth.
