Product Description
Product Description
If there's a line between the real and the digital, between meat and the game, between past and present, then hold this book close to your mouth and whisper it into the pages. Please. Maybe the kid in there'll hear you. His name is Nolan Dugatti. He's lost, see, running down hall after hall, something both ancient and not-yet born galloping up behind him on a hundred legs, each individual footfall a sound he knows, a way of shuffling that he's always known. His father? Except it can't be. Unless of course this is another novel from Stephen Graham Jones. Not quite horror, not quite science ?ction, but like his ?ve or six other books, a story trembling at some pupal stage between meat and the game, where words will sometimes stop their crawl across the page and crane their neck around at the sky, nod about what they see there-you- then unfold their wings, drift up into another world altogether.

The Camopede Stalks, Aug 18 2008
By Christopher Deal - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti (Paperback)
Coming along at around the same time as Ledfeather, Stephen Graham Jones 'The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti' is a great read. Written in a weekend, it reads as anything but. Video games and a father who can't quite kill himself make up Nolan Dugatti, who sits alone in night at his call center desk on the last night of his employment, waiting for someone to call, curious how to pass a level of a game no one has played in close to ten years, he waits, and when that phone finally rings, his night is just getting started, as something stalks through the building, something from the end of time and the beginning of his life, Nolan Dugatti will face what he has done. Stephen Graham Jones writes fiction that will haunt you.

A different look at guilt, video games, and shrimp, Mar 30 2009
By Christopher Hutt "Dingo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti (Paperback)
The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti is a darkly humorous look under the hood of a young man wrestling with an unresolved past. I suppose that anyone whose father attempted suicide as a hobby would have more than a few daddy issues. The book takes place in a Kafkaesque cubical farm manned by the last employee of a long defunct software title. The premise was wholly original and engaging, and the pacing of the story kept tempo right until the end. Dugatti is a good weekend read that won't let up and leaves you checking under your bed for invisible centipedes.The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti

A Great Book, Jan 6 2009
By Scott B. Uptmore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti (Paperback)
This was a great read. It was fun and light-hearted with a dash of dark twisted situations and humor. How can you go wrong with a book that sticks video games, ninjas, and failed suicide attempts all together and lets them simmer and soak into one another. Another great book by Stephen Graham Jones, what can I say... I'm not surprised. Read and enjoy.
