A question for anyone out there ... what are your opinions on The Exterminators and Scalped? Are they worth getting ??
I think they're both great, but they're also strange enough that I'd be careful about recommending them.
Exterminators is almost satire, a nasty look at modern society and Big Business through the lense of a small extermination company that gets sucked into a vast conspiracy of bugs and corporate bigwigs.
And Scalped is the crime book that makes 100 Bullets duck to the other side of the street when it sees it coming. Truly brutal, nasty stuff, but very compelling. It's one of those books where the lead is sympathetic only in comparison to the other characters (in a nicer book, he'd be the Big Bad), and yet somehow Aaron makes me...well, maybe not care, but remain strongly interested in what happens to him.
