Summary
Open wide... and pray for your life. Middle-aged,
middle-income and lapsed Mormon Arthur Percy felt his life
lurch from a difficult normality onto the rails of a carnival
ride heading somewhere too much like the Twilight Zone for his
liking. Perhaps it is more the “Anti-Twilight Zone”
that Arthur enters—where vampires, shape shifters and
ghouls are not gorgeous or glamorous but genetic parasites from
a hideous communal intelligence known as the Hive. Who will
save the human race? And what does all this have to do with Dr.
Calvin Stewart, Arthur’s new dentist? Aurora
Award-nominated author Hugh A. D. Spencer weaves a hilarious
tale of sarcasm, Mormonism, and oral hygiene that spans the
globe. From Singapore to Germany and back to Toronto, Extreme
Dentistry explores love and loss, terrible workplaces,
babysitting, and those seediest centres of monstrous activity
both human and inhuman—shopping malls.
