Graphic details, vivid characters, ravenous mayhem, grit and grim are the meat and potatoes of Archie Caswell’s freshman novel, The Evolution of a Nympho.

It shares pedigree with the work of 1970s authors such as Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim, who mastered the gritty depictions of street life and shady characters. The Evolution of a Nympho is as pure and emotional as it gets.

With thick layers of dramatic yet realistic chaos, Caswell trademarks this raw collective with her cultural relativity. Caswell is able to combine the wit of the streets with the boldness of the beautiful. All while crafting a tightly-planned, sexually-laden urban fiction novel appealing to hip hop, gangster and street lit fans alike.

To put it another way, Caswell’s The Evolution of a Nympho takes you to a time when the rules never applied, when consequences had no end. When the party is over, you’re left alone to face the music, the premises have been vacated, you must to clean up the mess, wondering how you ended up in this situation, worse than when it began, those moments are the seed of a culminating rose – cursed to bud again.
