Cautiously, Roberts extended his gun toward the jewel fish, then quickly pulled the plunger, sucking his victim through the transparent barrel and down into the holding chamber below...
...recreations center on his home in a suburb of Cleveland: broiling steaks in the yard, playing pingpong, showing home movies. He and his wife sometimes have guests for square dancing in the basement. On his $29,300-a-year salary, he allows himself one uncharacteristic extravagance: a coral-colored Cadillac.

In another canvas, bits of torn flesh seem to be raining down like autumn leaves from one hell above to another hell beneath. A series of black-and-white paintings are as intricate as the veins of the eye or the sinews of the arm. Always there is the sense of seeing nature from within, of literally being sucked into the guts of things. Landuyt's great achievement is the suspense he manages to generate, as if each of his oozing, pulsating interiors were about...
