It’s twisted proof that God will do worse to test a faithful man than the devil would ever do to punish a sinner.” ―Chuck Palahniuk\n\nSet in Friendship, Wisconsin, just after the Civil War, A Prayer for the Dying tells of a horrible epidemic that is suddenly and gruesomely killing the town's residents and setting off a terrifying paranoia. Jacob Hansen, Friendship's sheriff, undertaker, and pastor, is soon overwhelmed by the fear and anguish around him, and his sanity begins to fray. Dark, poetic, and chilling, Stewart O'Nan's A Prayer for the Dying examines the effect of madness and violence on the morality of a once-decent man.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 031242891X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.031242891X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:O'nan, Stewart\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
