The Book Show #1288 - Stephen Dobyns

WAMC Northeast Public Radio | By Joe Donahue
Published March 26, 2013 at 3:06 PM EDT

  Award-winning novelist and poet, Stephen Dobyns, returns to the thriller genre after a fifteen-year hiatus with The Burn Palace

.

The novel is a blend of suspense, supernatural underpinnings and sexual shenanigans set in a provincial New England town. Dobyns creates an insular community sideswiped by madness when a series of odd, violent crimes occur in rapid succession.
