| Icon by No Record Genius |
| Simply brilliant; a fantastic read that engages and entertains while weaving together unique scenery with the use of images from all over the pop-culture spectrum. The stories are excellent in their own merits, showing the creative depth and an artistic flair as Grindley moves from one story to another. My personal favorite would have to be "The Memoirs of a Supervillain". |

| I've read the introduction and am on the 2nd story... the intro was absolutely hilarious and riveting all at the same time, a real page turner! Highly recommended. Grindley has a knack for describing a scene in a way that's just like what you wanted to say. Stories: the 1st story was a lot of thoughtstream stuff, a la Joyce... the 2nd story has been quite fun so far! |

| I've just read the intro and first story, but am floored by this novel so far. A must read for fans of post-apocalyptic scenarios. Dark, very dark, and funny. David Foster Wallace + Chuck Phalaniuk + Poe + Lovecraft? |
| Icon by No Record Product Description |
| This is the way the world ends. Three interlocked novels explore a landscape that stretches from the Pacific Northwest to the Nowhere Place. An art appraiser’s trip through a haunted mansion is derailed by a death ray. A 14th-century Italian scion dies brokenhearted and spends eternity keeping tabs on every single suicide on earth. A Mesoamerican Jaguar god unveils a vision of Yankee Stadium as a post-apocalyptic tomb, then hands a pair of Gutenberg bibles to the scene’s horrified witness. Through its 600 pages, Icon proves to be more than a dark, sensitive and sweeping investigation of memory's inherent violence and implied oblivion; it may also prove to be the most unusual work of fiction you will ever read. |
