What is this "Hellbound Snowballs" Anyway?
In brief, it's a love story, a ghost story, a monster story, a coming of age, a whodunnit & a why'dtheydoit. It's maniac creativity, frantic weirdness and linguistic acrobatics. It's what M. Christian (The Very Bloody Marys) calls "100% Recommended," what left Mckenzee (Sinister Bedfellows) "living in the mirror," and induced in MontiLee Stormer (Isle of Shadows) the deep and irrefutable knowledge, "his brain is sexy." It's a story told traipsing to and fro, between the utterly profound and the hopelessly juvenile, along a crooked path of pop cultural stepping stones jutting out from the murk of the collective unconscionable. It is the wit and pace of my stories Fruit Fly the Magician and Valentine's Prey delivered with the mystery and mistrust of Phallus in Wonderland and In His Own Image. (In case you're wondering, those are all short stories printed in my first book, DAMAGED GOODS, for which you can procure free shipping by ordering it along with Hellbound Snowballs. There. Had to be said...) It's my novel, now available thanks to the efforts of the wonderful people at Raised All Wrong Press, and I'd like to share it with you.
If you read only one novel in your entire lifetime, read something by Steinbeck or Hemmingway, but if you read another, make this the one!
