"Michael Seidlinger's terrific new novel pruned my skin. Seriously, I was reading it in the bathtub one night and I stayed in the water for a good couple of hours, deeply engrossed. It's that immersive (so to speak). It also marks a confident new direction in his work. THE SKY CONDUCTING is elegant, disturbing, and important. Buy it and read it." Nick Antosca"
