Description:

"It's been a while since my last activity. I've almost entirely lost the urge. I shut my eyes and try to awaken the memory inside me. The darkness. The moonlit bumpers. Interiors lit by radio dials. Crickets. Branches breaking under my creeping step. Sepulchral organ chords that only I can hear." "Is anybody out there?" "The Hook Man is. He is born from nightmares and wild imagination, from the dark, from the guilt of teenage lovers, from panic. His name is Leonard Gage, and this is his story.". "Exceptionally unusual, corrosively funny and touching, and completely unpredictable, Hook Man Speaks is both a self-dissection of one man's demons, and the demons of the world that created him. In exposing our fears of being outcasts, of being forgotten, of being ignored by those we love, Matt Clark has let us in on a dark secret in American pop culture, turned it inside out, and given it a heart - and a voice like no other you've ever heard."--BOOK JACKET.
