High on Blood at the End of the World

Autor Joel Kaplan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 sep 2012
Cosmic forces are colliding in Augusta, Maine: forces that will end the world. Frank, a drug addled Satanist, is soon drawn into a psychosexual world of supernatural mystery. But it's not all burning churches and banging chicks, someone is trying to kill him. Will he be able to survive long enough to help end it all? At least he has his crazy friends, and these two enigmatic blood crazed teenage harlots he just met. He will need all the help he can get in this rural town plagued by werewolves and the Sand Hillside Strangler who turns out to be way worse than just a serial killer. The world is a sinking ship. Come along for a wild psychedelic ride into the depths of depravity with the people that want to sink it in this black humor bloodbath of epic proportions. ****************************************************************************** *************************************** "There is some marvelous imagery: when Frank meets an unfamiliar girl "She stumbled into him and they kissed in a sloppy, awkward embrace. It was like they were bottles of blood being poured back and forth into each other..." "He looked around the room and felt heartburn coming on like the drunk mother of a friend." This novel is definitely not for the prudish, but it does have an ongoing story and a resolution to its mysteries. Those who are into this scene-drugs, sex, violence, weirdness, death-or curious about it should enjoy it. Should it become popular it will surely be banned." -- PIERS ANTHONY (A Spell For Chameleon, Firefly, Total Recall) *************************************** *************************************** "HIGH ON BLOOD AT THE END OF THE WORLD is a phantasmagorical magic carpet ride of sex, drugs and rock & roll, with a side of apocalyptic bloodshed. There's a serial killer, a werewolf, and a ghost, oh my It's a grand guignol variety show for metalheads, and I enjoyed the party. I say strap in for the ride." -- STEPHEN JOHNSTON (writer of "killer flicks" TED BUNDY, ED GEIN, and THE HILLSIDE STRANGLER) *************************************** *************************************** High on Blood at the End of the World travels down some dark corridors, leaving no dirty room unexplored. Satanists, hypersexual teenage girls, serial killers, drug abusers, and incest-curious siblings tangle with each other in a novel of supernatural freakiness. Frank, the protagonist, is always up for adventure. Have some drugs? Don't know what they are? Don't know what they do? No problem for Frank. He'll take 'em. Need some dirty work done? Frank's got this one handled. Wanna have some freaky sex? Just ask Frank, he's up for it. The darkness of a small fucked-up town pervades every paragraph. It seeps onto the page like spilled oil. Everything in the town seems wrong, everyone has a secret, and nobody is safe. In order to survive, Frank is going to have to out-freak everyone. Most of the characters in High on Blood are sketchy and flawed without any redeemable qualities; however, they are caught in an engaging story that's difficult to put down. The writing and dialogue is incredibly strong and the imagery just jumps off the page. -Steve Hart (RAZORCAKE MAGAZINE) *************************************** *************************************** "High On Blood At the End Of the World is a page-turning, eye burning, glorious celebration of diabolical excess. If an overload of murder, mayhem, and morbidity is not your scene then put this book down immediately and go wash your hands " -- DEL JAMES (THE LANGUAGE OF FEAR) *************************************** *************************************** Never before have I read a book where there is literally never a break in the action and excitement. Gorey situations, brilliantly dirty dialogue and some of the most marvelous sex scenes ever expressed by written word. A thrill ride from beginning to end. Ten out of five stars -- JEFF O'BRIEN (BIGBOOBENSTEIN, CASSIE, NOVEMBER COMING FIRE)
