Bone Saw

Liam Carpenter spends most of his time above his aunt's garage, watching obscure horror movies and drinking cheap beer. But this week's different. This week, things are getting weird. First, there's his favorite director, Clive Sherman, showing up in town unannounced. Then there's the string of murders that all seem like something out of Clive's popular Pigfoot movie monster franchise. Throw in Liam's mysterious new crush and the cough-syrup-addicted private investigator chasing her down and you might gain somewhat of a clue of what's going on in Bass Falls lately. And don't even get him started on she-demons and blood sacrifices. Bone Saw studios is in town and they're bringing you the bloodiest sequel featuring a pig-human hybrid killing machine you've ever seen. Perry Samson loves drugs. Hell take what he can get, but raw atlys is his passion. Shot hard and fast into his testicles, atlys helps him forget that he lives in an abandoned Baltimore school, that his roommate exchanges lumps of flesh for drugs at the Kum Den Smokehouse, and that every day is a moldering motley of whores, cuntcutters, and disease. Unfortunately, atlys never helps Perry forget that, even though his older brother died from an atlys overdose, he will never stop being the tortured middle child. Set in 2099, THE GREEN KANGAROOS explores the disgusting world of Perrys addiction to atlys and the Samson familys addiction to his sobriety. "I write junkie fiction. I read and watch junkie fiction. Call it a lifestyle choice. I honestly didnt think Id discover anything new under the sun when it came to the genre. I was wrong. Green Kangaroos is the freshest, most wholly original work Ive come across concerning the subject of addiction. Think Requiem for a Dream meets Cabin in the Woods, only funnier, fresher, and more harrowing. Potsticking makes krokodil seem like a good time. Jessica McHugh has crafted one mindfuck of a novel." --Joe Clifford, author of Junkie Love and Lamentation When Phoebe McBride returns to Bonneville for her twentieth high school reunion, she tells herself its the best way to confront what has haunted her since her senior year.

"After getting kicked out of his anarchist art collective for defending McDonald's, Ephraim develops an idea to create a robot/vending machine with the ability to hug children. He is no roboticist, but through dumb luck manages to hook up with a genius--a like-minded individual who also happens to be the last living Neanderthal. Meanwhile, a former personal assassin for a former president is fired from the CIA for sexual misconduct with a couple of blow-up dolls. He becomes determined to return to the government's good graces by infiltrating Ephraim's anarchist art collective in the hopes that they are actually terrorists. What follows is a bizarre, psychedelic journey that could only take place in the heart of Austin, Texas."--Amazon.com
