HTML:<p>Praise for John Dermot Woods:<br /> <b><i>Electric Literature</i> 25 Best Novels of 2014</b><br /> "Poignant and unsettling, and much like a good short story collection these tales resonate long after the book is closed."—<b><i>Largehearted Boy</i></b><br /> "An accomplished artist and writer, in addition to being an entertaining and often an electrifying one. John Woods does something very original in his combining of the arts in this collection, and my hat's off to him in his two-hat achievement."—<b>Stephen Dixon</b><br /> "Like a lost season of <i>The Wire</i> directed by Richard Linklater, <i>The Baltimore Atrocities</i> beguiles, bemuses, often horrifies, and never fails to impress. John Woods renders small moments of intimacy and violence with remarkable compression and eerie calm; together they form a rich disturbing portrait of the city-as-zonked-out-slaughterhouse, its denizens both the butchers and the butchered."<b>—Justin Taylor, author of <i>Flings</i></b><br /> <b><i>The Baltimore Atrocities</i></b> is a mordant, deadpan collection of more than one hundred murders, betrayals, heartbreaks, suicides, and bureaucratic snafus—each with a half-page illustration by the author—that tells the story of a couple who spends a year in Baltimore in search of their respective siblings, who were abducted decades earlier as young children.<br /> <b>John Dermot Woods</b> is a writer and cartoonist living in Brooklyn, New York. He is the author of a collection of comics, <i>Activities</i> (Publishing Genius, 2013), and two previous illustrated novels, <i>No One Told Me I Was Going to Disappear</i> (with J.A. Tyler) and <i>The Complete Collection of people, places & things</i>. He and Lincoln Michel created the funny comic strip <i>Animals in Midlife Crises</i> for the <i>Rumpus</i>. He is a professor of English at Nassau Community College.</p>.
