Rodney is the hilarious, fast-paced story of what happens when a horny teenage boy becomes an incompetent vampire.
"Dick Baldwin’s novel Rodney is the most brilliantly appalling, magnificently discomforting, and grimly outrageous work of fiction I have ever lifted to my once-innocent eyes. For society’s losers, it is a revelation and a gospel, sacred in its uproarious profanity; for society’s winners, it is a Voice from Below – an uncompromising reflection of the all-enveloping Mediocrity that equally defines the greatest and the smallest of men.
"The oppressed, overlooked, and miserable have found their new hero in Rodney; in Gulpo Plains and the exquisitely conceived Underworld of Baldwin’s imagination, their new reality-beyond-reality: the dark reverse of the glowing screen, where humans and demons differ only in shape.
"Every reader – whether willing or no – will become a permanent captive of Mr. Baldwin’s bleak, bewildering, and horrifying world, and will go forth hereafter with eyes newly opened, saying, 'God help us! Everything is just as he says!'”
