Crashed America - Brand new Dark Comedy/Surreal novel
My début effort - Crashed America is formally, finally and irrevocably available from a retailer near you as of today! Available as both an eBook and paperback you’re (almost) spoilt for choice when it comes to reading what critics are calling ‘a book, definitely a book‘. And at the low low price of $3.99/£3.08 (ebook) or $9.99/£7.99 (paperback) you’d literally be ruining your own life if you didn’t get it. Hell, the last person who didn’t buy this book ended their days in a flop house in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – a needle in their arm, a dope fiend stealing their shoes and the last traces of hope shattered in their crying eyes. And you wouldn’t want that now would you?
When Joe sets off for those United States of America he has a whole list of plans, dreams, schemes and delusions to be lived out against an idealised Americana backdrop. Killing Jesus isn’t exactly among them but, as ever, life does its own thing. After crashing in Alabama Joe finds himself caught up in the prelude to the End of Days, with the Devil on one side, a Hillbilly clan on the other and the whole spectrum of crazy in between – from a Satanic Reagan to good old boys Waco and ET. None of which makes any sense to him, or his new found companion the born again atheist Father Fitzpatrick but with enough moonshine, guns, nuns, demons and backwoods mysticism he might just make it through. Although the rest of the world might not. A mix between dark comedy, absurdity, explosions and the obligatory sex and drugs ‘Crashed America’ is my debut (full length) novel. All the stuff and details here... And it's available in (pretty much) all ebook formats, most of which you can get through Smashwords if Kindle and B&N aren't your thing. Worth a mention given the forum. |
