"Did he say "repugnatorial gland"? What a wealth of information
Gordon Grice is, and what a fine, beguiling writer. This book is a
must for anyone even remotely thinking of getting a monkey, a sea
lion, or, heaven forbid, a dog." - David Sedaris
"A wonderful, slightly terrifying, utterly captivating encounter
with the animal world--not quite like anything I've ever read
before."--Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat, Pray, ""Love" and
"Committed
""Deadly Kingdom is an engagingly original field guide to the
venomous, the sharp-clawed, the infectious, and the downright
predatory. It's a witty, fascinating, and playfully macabre read."
- David Baron, author of "The Beast in the Garden"
"Deadly Kingdom is sometimes gory, always gorgeous, and really
great. Gordon Grice is a warm and funny guide, his fingers always
on the facts. There are amazing stories here, fascinating people
and places, but above all, there are the animals we thought we
knew, and the ones we've never heard of: hagfish, guinea worms,
eyelash vipers, blister beetles. You'll never go barefoot in the
barnyard again." - Bill Roorbach, author of "Temple Stream: A Rural
Odyssey"
"Deadly Kingdom makes it clear that you are not on top of the food
chain." - Pamela Nagami, M.D., author of "Bitten: True Medical
Stories of Bites and Stings"
