"Not even death is static like a picture is. If you look at a corpse long enough, you see things move beneath the skin, as real and liquid as the blood in your own veins."
What is Generation Loss? Is it a crime novel about a jaded never-was photographer turned leather-clad gumshoe? Is it a horror story about furry weasel-like "fishers" stalking tourists in rural Maine? Or maybe it's a dark melodrama about art and redemption in which a middle-aged alcoholic is forced to channel the energy normally reserved for self-damage to save a young girl from a reclusive, decades-old evil? Hosts Chris Funderburg and John Cribbs struggle to get a handle on genre-flipping Elizabeth Hand's Shirley Jackson Award-winning novel, the first of a series featuring tattooed shutterbug Cass Neary.
