Hating Olivia · A Love Story

“A book of quiet horrors and beautifully expressed longing. . . . SaFranko’s prose is precise, flawless, and the work of a man who truly loves and understands great writing.” —Tony O'Neill, author of *Sick City *and *Down and Out on Murder Mile *

“SaFranko writes from the heart, and the balls, crafting a furious and passionate piece of work that is entirely his own, with some scenes that would make even Bukowski blush.” —Susan Tomaselli, editor of Dogmatika.com

*Hating Olivia *is acclaimed underground author Mark SaFranko’s darkly twisted story of two people’s descent into sex, obsession, and mutual destruction. A gritty confessional tale, *Hating Olivia *is sure to appeal to fans of Charles Bukowski, John Fante, and Huburt Selby, Jr.
