Unamerican Activities

Here are the stories. I changed every word. Make of them as you will.UnAmerican Activities explores the conspiracy theories and violence of modern America through a series of interlocking stories told by deranged and desperate narrators. Populated by meth addicts, vampire hunters, porn stars, fanatical evangelists, disgraced academics and zombified hipsters, James Miller's third novel is a crazy homage to American pop culture and genre fiction and an unforgettable road trip through the dark heart of the United States."The weirdness of deep America fascinates James Miller and in this, his third book, he wades into the fever-swamp. What he dredges up is not decorous, but how can decorum get the measure of a nation whose paranoid fantasies are creating the very dystopia that it fears and secretly craves UnAmerican Activities is compelling, appalling and deeply entertaining a sequence of dispatches from the sulphurous rim of the Moronic Inferno." -- Gregory Norminton, author of The Ghost Who Bled and The Devil's Highway"A deliriously enjoyable book raw and wild and kinetic as a thriller. Here is an America racked by its End Times: a place of porn stars and vampires, fanatical priests and priapic zombies. It's dark as hell. It's alarmingly familiar. It's very very funny indeed." -- Tom Bullough, author of Addlands and Konstantin"These brilliantly imaginative and highly readable stories evoke a fraying, febrile America populated with messianic porn stars, heavily-armed survivalists, and millenarian sects, all craving an Apocalypse that may or may not come..." -- Rob Doyle, author of Here Are the Young Men and This is the Ritual
