Despite its surrealistic humor and horror, Geek Love provides a provocative look at a world most of us never see--a world made up of aberrations we probably couldn't even create in our wildest dreams. And from within this world rises a chorus of familiar human desires, for love, for fame, for money. The attempts to attain these goals match the grotesque characteristics of the individual seekers, who are individually and sometimes collectively worshipped and emulated by a following of "norms."

The author creates characters with whom it is hard to fully empathize, not because of their physical features, but because they also employ the most despicable of man's behaviors. The few "norms" (meaning without visible physical aberrations) who are introduced into the work are also unsympathetic characters. Dr. P. is the most virulent example. It is a fascinating story, the product of an imagination totally unfettered by literary convention.
