Tales of Titlllation and Terror

“No one else in Canada produces fiction like Mel. He writes with a passionate muscularity. Sentences build on themselves, often in staggering abundance, creating an overwhelming avalanche of powerful imagery. Mel has an old-fashioned love of language. His use of it is lush. He loves story, and his plots are often bizarre and the plotting always meticulous.” —Peter Sellers, editor of the Cold Blood Series
