Perhaps it is more the \"Anti-\u003ci\u003eTwilight\u003c\/i\u003e Zone\" that Arthur enters-where vampires, shape shifters and ghouls are not gorgeous or glamorous but genetic parasites from a hideous communal intelligence known as the Hive. Who will save the human race? And what does all this have to do with Dr. Calvin Stewart, Arthur's new dentist?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAurora Award-nominated author Hugh A. D. Spencer weaves a hilarious tale of sarcasm, Mormonism, and oral hygiene that spans the globe. From Singapore to Germany and back to Toronto, \u003ci\u003eExtreme Dentistry\u003c\/i\u003e explores love and loss, terrible workplaces, babysitting, and those seediest centres of monstrous activity both human and inhuman-shopping malls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePraise for the writing of Hugh A.
