infra is a "smashing" tale, crunching words and plot through a hyper expressionistic viewpoint. Ron Dakron's first novel is a chilling tale of obsession, sex and ghosts, all told through a poetic dreamscape of words. infra careens through a late 20th century Europe in search of ultimate ecstasy.
A failed artist receives a letter. It's a photo of his lost love, brutally murdered. He knows who the killer is—a young Venice Mafioso. He does nothing, until the dreams start. Then he plots vengeance. He buys a gun in Paris, then sleeps on trains towards death. He slays the Mafioso. Yet the killer starts chasing him, through Spain and nightmares. And now the fun begins.

The Seattle Weekly, November 9, 1988
"infra is a wild ride . . . there’s lots of sex, drugs, rock’n’roll, wild American tourists on the loose, and a level of writing that attains a very convincing and enviable poetic reality all its own . . . I loved it. infra will be a hard act to follow."
