Aging punks recapture the greatest show of their youth through barbaric rituals. The lone survivor of a hellish Interstate pile-up follows an otherworldly sound to its source. A father desperate to cure his daughter's condition uncovers a multinational corporation's unspeakable plan for solving world hunger. In these eleven stories, Cody Goodfellow explores the bizarre and the deeply human, using the kaleidoscopic language only he is capable of. "Brutal, breakneck, and brilliant--STRATEGIES AGAINST NATURE grabs you by the throat and drags you under. Don't even try to resist." --DANIEL H. WILSON, author of Robopocalypse "Truly unique, imaginative and sometimes painfully graphic.

" --RUE MORGUE "One of the best writers of our generation." --BRIAN KEENE, author of The Rising and Dark Hollow "'80s vintage horror with a contemporary edge. An exemplary wordsmith, his prose sticks a needle in your brain and gives it a twist. This stuff is Lovecraft on acid." --LAIRD BARRON, author of The Imago Sequence & Other Stories "The Ellroy of speculative fiction ." --JEREMY ROBERT JOHNSON, author of Skullcrack City.
