Product Description
Book Description
A collection of six short stories including "Polka in a Fishtank" and "Elizabeth of Factories".
From the Inside Flap
"She's so talented . . . and so were Mata Hari and Eva Braun, each in her way . . . and Lizzie Borden had a good solid swing going, she could have hit home runs. Dracula's wives played the harpsichord and violin beautifully. Ms. Solis is the Marlene Dietrich of fiction and she's not even German. Ms. Solis inhabits the demimonde like a barracuda ruling a reef. Ms. Solis sees true, and tells all. Your heart will break." John Shirley, author of And the Angel with Television Eyes

A jewel of a book,
By mina frank (jersey jersey!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scrub Station (Paperback)
I was introduced to this author through a magazine article and was surprised by how good this book is, seeing that I had never heard of it. Was this reviewed anywhere? The last story kept me up all night, a real page turner and very spooky, but unpredictable and psychologically intense. I hope to read more by this author in the future.

Kafka in Drag,
By William J. Austin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scrub Station (Paperback)
Who wouldn't be impressed? The writing -- especially when Ms. Solis sketches her eerie landscapes -- evinces a precision that rivals Kafka's own. Ms. Solis is a master of transport, and the netherworld to which the reader travels is rich, decadent, pleasured by light and dark.

Disturbing at times & always hauntingly beautiful to read,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scrub Station (Paperback)
Scrub Station is a very well-written collection of short stories that reads like a coherent whole. Some stories have erotic/fetish themes and because of the quality of the writing, cannot simply be placed into erotic genre. They transcend characterization. It's somewhat reminiscent of Georges Bataille's writing if he wrote today. Disturbing at times & always hauntingly beautiful to read, this book will keep you glued to itself until you reach the last page. Did I mention the book's handsome esthetically pleasing pocket-size design?
