In Lizard World, the grotesque collides with the absurd in a time-hopping tale of body horror and dark satire. In 17th-century London, a penniless medical student delivers a corpse to a nobleman with disturbingly specific surgical needs—only to uncover something far stranger than expected.

Centuries later, a New Jersey dentist crashes into the Florida swamps and is abducted by the nobleman’s degenerate descendants, who transplant his brain into a still-living body from another time. As identities blur and monstrous memories surface, the line between past and present dissolves in a surreal battle for control.

Twisted, outrageous, and unforgettable, Lizard World is a blackly comic fever dream unlike anything you've read.

  • Library Journal, on the novel

    “Readers fond of dark comedy and the macabre
    may get a kick out of this oddly compelling (and
    sometimes disturbingly graphic) tale.”

  • Publishers Weekly, on the novel

    “A darkly comic tale… lurid and
    grotesque… revels in deprav-
    ity and decadence.”

  • Denis Kitchen, Kitchen Sink Press

    “I wanted to put Lizard World
    down but I could not. The narra-
    tive and art held me in a hideous
    grip."
