Kevin Keating has received starred reviews for THE CAPTIVE CONDITION (
Pantheon Books, 7/7/2015), including this from
Library Journal “A weird and wonderfully rendered universe
. . . . A highly literary look at the faces of evil in almost all of its guises . . . . Oh, and many characters here are constantly high on psychedelic carrot juice.” Emulating a modern day
Edgar Allan Poe, coupled with the creepy brilliance of
HBO’s
True Detective, THE CAPTIVE CONDITION is at once chilling, deliciously dark, and quirkily hilarious. As a boilermaker turned author, Kevin has a fascinating and unique take on thriller writing. Kevin appears on the

Zany with a touch of uplifting. You will be measurably hipper after reading it.”ANN TENNA, with full-color images throughout, is an incredibly fun, cosmic adventure about a gossip columnist in
