My date with Satan

""The Beauty Treatment" is narrated by a teenager who has had her face slashed by her best friend. Theirs is a brand of girlfriend rivalry common at any high school, but with Richter's agility and unique language, their story becomes an epic of empathy and forgiveness."--BOOK JACKET. "Any self-respecting Scandinavian Satanic heavy metal band - even one with a chick keyboard player - always knows it must "corrupt the world / spread the metal." But by the end of "Goal 666," the Lords of Sludge are possessed by a different kind of uncontrollable urge."--BOOK JACKET. "In "Sally's Story" a family's decline parallels their greyhound's rise to fame in the art world, and in "Rats Eat Cats" a depressive young woman tries to find sanctuary in a living art project in which she becomes a reclusive Cat Lady ("an old woman who lives 'by herself' with as many as seventy-five cats in a one-bedroom apartment") only to fall in love with her neighbor and arch enemy, the Rat Boy."--BOOK JACKET. ""A Prodigy of Longing" renders the impossible domestic situation of a child genius navigating the terrain occupied by his father and stepmother - both believers in alien abduction - and the biker boy next door."--BOOK JACKET.
