Crater Girl reads like the season of True Detective you didn't know you needed. This tense, genre-bending novel is a must-read! -Jeffrey Thomas, author of Punktown
Greta Tyler has issues. She's broke, divorced, trans, recently defrocked from her Episcopal priesthood, and her underpaid assistant hates her. But hey, things could always be worse, right?
As a social worker in a small northern Alabama city, Greta's just trying to do a little good in the world, and also come to terms with a complicated new life, a demanding new career, and the crushing finality that her marriage to her childhood sweetheart is over for good. But when her friend Suhey fails to show for a party, Greta suspects the worst: Suhey's either been deported or kidnapped. Thus begins an increasingly surreal odyssey through the inscrutable byways and backroads of contemporary rural America.
Tormented by self-doubt, and with a tendency to harm whatever she touches, Greta careens through a sinister underworld she never knew existed-billionaires and busboys, asteroids and assassins, human traffickers and misfit geniuses...and also an infernal plan to radically change the world.
But first, how to come up with the rent?
Crater Girl is Polly Schattel's genre-jumping tale of gender politics, self-loathing, clandestine organizations, interstellar geology, thuggee death cults, and the search for personal redemption in the rusted over-sprawl of the meta-modern South.
Crater Girl detonates in ways that are strange, visceral, and impossible to shake. -Andrew K. Clark, author of Where Dark Things Rise
