KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW
An interview with P.D. Halt
BY WILL GREEN • APRIL 27, 2020
Halt’s fictional rendering of this luscious material has won When Death Imitates Art raves from critics...Halt’s prose conjures up a heady blend of desire and horror with subtle literary shadings, as in this haunting evocation of the killer’s fatal vision...
"...whoever painted this had emulated Edward Hopper perfectly—the melancholy, the spareness, and the tension of that style. Warm tones of flesh and blood stood out from the cold blue of sinister shadows stretching across the floor, claiming first a corner, then a wall. The composition’s eroticism was evident in the play of light across the breasts, abdomen, and slightly splayed legs.”
