The X-Files, Rosemary's Baby... and Little House on the Prairie?

Those are the things that Publisher's Weekly thinks my novel Eutopia: A Novel of Terrible Optimism is made of. There's a very nice review of my book posted at the magazine's website.

The salient parts, pulled expertly by CZP honcho Brett Savory, read as follows:

"Nickle (Monstrous Affections) blends Little House on the Prairie with distillates of Rosemary's Baby and The X-Files to create a chilling survival-of-the-fittest story. . . . [His] bleak debut novel mixes utopian vision, rustic Americana, and pure creepiness."

Color me chuffed.
