Love Me is Danger_Slaters latest work and is published by Jersey Devil Press.
BE WARNED: This book is not for the faint of heart.
This book is hard to classify as to a specific genre. Saying this book is bizarro would be an understatement. I have never read anything like it previously. From a castle of skulls reaching above the clouds to Jehovah’s witnesses being “processed” by crocoweilers (characters’ crossbreed of crocodiles and rottweilers) to discussions with the moon (made of blue cheese by the way), the story bounces around wildly while still carrying the reader. We follow the isolation and loneliness of the main character as time begins on his path to self discovery and what is the meaning of it all. Through all of the insanity the central idea still manages to come through to the reader (I won’t spoil it for you here).
The illustrations add to the story to give you a visual of what your mind can’t quite get itself around from the text.
The book has it all dark comedy, angst, nuclear attacks and genitalia. If you are thin skinned and don’t enjoy risqué comedy you may not want to try this book. If you love being entertained while your mind goes WTF! This is a book for you.
I was kind of amazed myself that when I finished reading it, I had enjoyed the journey and would actually recommend it to other readers.
