Reviews

"... this wacky tale of capitalist aspirations run way beyond amok...[is] a dark, hilarious, and original fable, well worth reading." -- Chronogram (Hudson Valley)

"Greg Olear stands out as one of the few 'New Voices' in contemporary fiction whose writing actually deserves the moniker. The title doesn't lie--Totally Killer truly is." -- Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight

"Lock Ted Bundy, Franz Kafka, and Terry Southern in a room with a typewriter and they might produce something like Totally Killer...This darkly comic, beautifully written tale of conspiracy, sex and obsession in 1990s New York City deserves a wide audience." -- Bruce DeSilva, Edgar-nominated author of Rogue Island

"Olear has created a veritable almanac of the 90s. Totally Killer is, well, totally killer. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You'll weep. You may even find yourself humming Whitney Houston." -- Jonathan Evison, author of All About Lulu

"Smart, unexpected, and wonderfully savage in its humor. Totally Killer nails, without mercy, the mood and minutiae of a weary America at the end of the 20th century. Olear's characters are perfectly emblematic of their times." -- Brad Listi, author of Attention. Deficit. Disorder.

"I totally loved Totally Killer. It's American Psycho meets I Love the '90s. It's The Firm with an ironic, sexy twist. Flawless writing, funny, sweet, and thrilling, Totally Killer is a fast moving page-turner that had me hooked from the first page." -- Colleen Curran, author of Whores on the Hill
