“Bassoff confronts directly the traumatic stress disorder of our world today and tears off its mask, even if the face must follow.” —New York Magazine
“Sharp, original, fierce, a real gut-ripper.” —Tom Piccirilli, author of The Walls of the Castle
“A book that cries out to be filmed by David Lynch…The debut novel from the unique Jon Bassoff begins a whole new genre: Corrosive Noir.” —Ken Bruen, author of the Jack Taylor series
“Corrosion is a beautifully bleak noir novel that stretches the boundaries of the genre to its breaking point. A virtuoso performance by the terrific Jon Bassoff.” —Jason Starr, author of Gotham
