"John Liles's "Following the Dog Down"captures the mysterious essence governing the parasitic relationship between worm and host. Liles quietly reminds us that the consumption of another involves the desperate implosion of passion, necessity, and existential desire as well as the base force of animal hunger. Liles's own description of his poignant yet critical celebration of parasitic intrigue, exploitation, and mutual dependency best recommends this terrifying yet remarkably spiritual book: "I write out of a need to reconcile the fact that I am a human in this world."--Sonja James "The Journal" (1/1/2017 12:00:00 AM)
