Welcome
This is the author homepage of David Oppegaard. My debut novel The Suicide Collectors arrived on 12/09/08 from St. Martin's Press. My follow up novel Wormwood, Nevada will be released in December of 2009, also from St. Martin's Press.
The Suicide Collectors has been named a finalist for the 2008 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel!
Reviews of The Suicide Collectors:
"Eloquent prose and haunting characters lift Oppegaard's astonishing debut..." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
"As always with the best science fiction, The Suicide Collectors takes a real-world phenomenon to its logical conclusion." -The Washington Post
"Oppegaard demonstrates a terrific sense of the macabre with absorbing sequences featuring feral children, a house papered in suicide notes, and other relics of a dying society. He also articulately ponders why such a plague might materialize." -Kirkus Reviews
