Susie Vogelman, a protagonist who initially sees herself as “a failed attempt at form,” finds definition through outrage. Her roommate has overdosed on Oxycontin, causing Susie to retreat to Los Angeles. If you hear a simmer in the background of the prose, it’s likely because the author Luke Goebel lost his brother to an Oxy overdose. There’s an outraged urgency that keeps KillDick a glowing fireball meeting the friction of atmosphere. Although Susie describes herself as “anti-gravity,” her novel has both the inevitability and the fireworks of a disintegrating asteroid.
