RECLUSIVE AUTHOR PUBLISHES CONTROVERSIAL NOVEL

This brutal and darkly comic coming-of-age story of a sociopath caused fervor with select readers before it was even published. Now that Outskirts Press has published the paperback, the world can find out why.

Publication Date: October 31, 2002 -- What do you do when your manuscript causes vehemence before it is published? If youre Dennison Rey, author of the newly-released novel Aware of My Hide, you withdraw from the public and start working on the sequel. The 160-page psychological thriller about the coming-of-age of a sociopath is as unpredictable as it is contentious. Featuring an impudent first-person narrator and chronological manipulation, Aware demands a re-read the minute you arrive upon its startling conclusion.

Dennison Rey could not be located for comment, but speaking on his behalf was Outskirts Press president and publisher Brent Sampson. The first draft created a huge stir. With a novel as ferocious as this one, its going to make a lot of people uncomfortable," Sampson said. People either love it or hate it, but everyone reads it more than once. You almost have to."

Aware of My Hide grants the reader a visceral, uncensored experience as it questions society, sexuality, and sanity. The majority of serial crimes in the United States are committed by white, single, middle-aged American males. Dennison Rey takes us inside the mind and under the skin of a white, single, middle-aged American male, and we discover that often the only thing separating our doctors, fathers, and friends from becoming a statistic is the final act.
