Read the book that started it all! Click here to check out the new edition of A World Made of Fire. One reviewer likened it to "Flannery O'Connor
mixed with Cormac McCarthy, as told by a Southern-fried Stephen
King." The book is lyrical, non-comic on its surface, poetic in its language (it's
prose, but in iambic pentameter), and pretty dark. Features the first
appearance of Jacko, who is also a character in One Mississippi. I
published this novel when I was 26. Very different from Crazy in Alabama or One Mississippi, but I like it. Of course, I'm biased....
