Music for Torching is a diabolic pre-millennial admonition. Homes takes us on a malefic joyride through American suburbia, devolving every aspect of this sacred territory with each page. Yet underneath her dexterous dialogue lay an intriguing metaphoric realm. The layers through which Homes subjects us in her writing is skilled and deliberate. Anyone interested in submerging themselves in a fantastic world embued with the void of normalcy deserves to read Homes. Reward yourself!
