Customer Reviews

Ross Miller's former student strikes back.

I had the pleasure of taking both Literature and Creative Writing courses from Miller at Washington & Lee around the time of this book's publication. Miller is a wonderfully twisted woman with an intimidating presence and unpredictable sweetness that rears its ugly head every now and then. "In the Funny Papers" is a perfect reflection of her personality in a series of hilarious, disturbing, and touching stories. Not for the faint of heart nor the die-hard satanist, this book is an excellent read for anyone who appreciates the concept (if not the practice) of Disneyworld on acid.
