The Orange Eats Creeps (Two Dollar Radio New Classics)

Synopsis

A troubled young woman with drug-induced extrasensory perception sets out to find her missing foster sister along a desolate stretch of highway known as "The Highway That Eats People." As her search unfolds, reality dissolves into nightmare. Haunted by visions, urban legends, the legacy of the Donner Party, and a sinister figure known only as Dactyl, she drifts through a landscape where violence, memory, addiction, and the supernatural become impossible to separate.

Hypnotic, unsettling, and unlike any other novel, The Orange Eats Creeps fuses horror, road narrative, folklore, and punk sensibility into a fever dream of contemporary America. Lindsay Lerman Krilanovich's cult classic remains a daring work of literary experimentation, exploring trauma, girlhood, and the myths that haunt the American West with startling originality.
