Praise for this book
"Some writers are born to spin tales from the shadows. Kathe Koja is one such author. Dark Factory is a unique and esoteric experience. A journey into the throbbing heart of creativity itself. Where we find kisses and cuts. A fantastic story." - S A Cosby
"Visionary. Stunning. A near-future vision of clubbing culture that takes us beyond virtual reality but, at the same time, presents an intimate look at the life of artists. Koja proves once again that she is a master of her craft." - Alma Katsu
"Koja writes like she's an entire collective of artists, senses in overdrive, voracious for the next hit of art that will push them--and us--over the edge. This is pure energy, a glow-in-the-dark vision of a new kind of writing." - Daniel Kraus
"Koja has redefined the possibilities and limits of literature with Dark Factory--a thunderous, all-consuming tour de force executed by one of our finest and most skilled creators. This is not a book. This is an unforgettable and transformative experience." - Eric LaRocca
"Dark Factory is a wickedly original and wild book--a steadily evolving mystery, an ecstatic search for beauty and reality, a confrontation with our need to tell and be told stories--all borne of Koja's endless curiosity and dexterity." - Lindsay Lerman
"You don't read Dark Factory so much as slam dance your way through its glittering labyrinth of art, tech, danger, and lust. Meticulously envisioned and impeccably performed, this book lives and breathes far beyond its pages, providing an experience more akin to experimental theater than traditional literature; once again, Koja drags fiction kicking and screaming into the future, where it belongs." - Maryse Meijer
"There isn't anywhere I wouldn't go with Kathe Koja, and the seams of reality are no exception." - Sarah Miller
"This is a daring work of multisensory and multimedia immersion, an exemplar of Koja's career-long commitment to dissolving boundaries--between genres and delivery systems, between body and mind, between story and reader, between virtual and real. This is a propulsive, wickedly funny literary party; enter the Factory, lose yourself, and dance." - Mike Thorn
