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.

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.\n
