"""Seidlinger's squirm-inducing and thought-provoking novel spins the fear of the COVID era into something terrifying in a whole new way."" --Library Journal ""Viscerally and metaphysically repulsive--and a dangerously accurate snapshot of a society, as only Michael Seidlinger could do."" --Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Indian Lake Trilogy ""Human connection as drug, fame as disease: Seidlinger carves from our Age of Illness a brilliantly nihilistic nightmare."" --Daniel Kraus, author of Whalefall ""This might just be Michael J. Seidlinger's magnum opus. The Body Harvest is an unapologetically radical novel, both in scope and execution and its pages are dank and dripping with nihilism, body horror, conspiracy theories and the self-destructive nature of the human condition. Seidlinger has written a deeply harrowing and disturbing glimpse at a subculture everyone is dying to join."" --Ross Jeffery, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of I Died Too, But They Haven't Buried Me Yet and The Devil's Pocketbook ""Raw and alarmingly prophetic, Michael J. Seidlinger's The Body Harvest is a crucible of torment that lures the reader into a consecrated baptism of human suffering and then traps you there until you turn the final page and find yourself forever marked, eternally polluted."" --Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke ""The Body Harvest is an absolute fever dream. It features characters who have the need to feel alive through feeling their mortality, identifying it, and pushing it to its very limits; of being on the verge of death but not dying, of using illness as a way to overcome the difficulties of life. If given the opportunity, if there are no consequences, how many would succumb to their darkest desires? If we are immortal, would morality still stand?"" --Ai Jiang, author of Linghun ""Michael J. Seidlinger is a twisted wizard of transgressive craft, and The Body Harvest is his phlegmcore Fight Club. A tale of viral codependency that starts off like Terrence Malick's Badlands with a biohazard spin before taking a Cronenbergian turn down David Lynch Lane. This book will leave you bedridden and babbling for your next Seidlinger fix."" --Brian McAuley, author of Candy Cain Kills and Curse of the Reaper ""Part body horror, part exploration of the destruction that grief can cause on our sense of wellness, The Body Harvest is disturbing, disgusting, and at times deliciously delusional."" --Independent Book Review"
