Work Information

Unease deepens as the story moves between the streets and the underground of San Francisco.

As an early novel by Richard Paul Russo, it turns urban decay and descent underground into psychological pressure. The result feels like city SF with the air let out.

Review Summaries

  • Readers like the dim urban atmosphere and lingering unease, though some note how heavy the reading experience can be.
