. . . a full-blown freak show of serial murder, psychological self-torment, and literal disintegration. Kirkus Review Boldly explicit, Oates tale of criminal psychosis draws on the druggy decadence, greed, sexism, and violence of Hollywood in the Charles Manson-Roman Polanski era. Booklist Oates digs so deeply into the psyche of the murderous personality that it makes for rough reading in parts, but the subject matter is not and should not be sacrificed on the altar of the readers comfort zone. BookReporter If youre a fan of psychological suspense novels, The Triumph of the Spider Monkey will leave you sleeping with the lights on for a few nights. George Kelley [The Triumph of the Spider Monkey] once again displays [Oates'] enviable skill, creativity, and versatility. Mystery Scene Magazine
