Drug Story (Murder Slim Press)

"there's no such thing as a factory floor hero. there's just these faceless fuckers hidden away sum where behind corporate logos an government walls tryna run every body's lives, an if an element of insurrection runs throo your bludstream they'll rip the veins right out your flesh. but one day sum body gonna come along an start a real revolution, sum body who won't fall in line an get under the kosh gonna start puttin silver bullets in the hearts a monsters. but it's sum days that are simple as this : you're walking throo the city a millions in the daytime toked up on amphets an you feel like a god w/all the motherfuckers around you, an you're not lookin for anyone an you don't need no one. that's the real deal, man. that's the purest kind a power there is." (u.v. ray, Drug Story)u.v.ray does not write mainstream novels. and now, much like his previous works, there is little here to renew our faith in humanity. in what he says will be his final novel, he remains true to his ethos and refuses to give us literary cotton candy. "u.v. has a writing style reminds me a lot of Hubert Selby Jr or Charles Bukowski... I strongly suggest devouring this book. Read it and learn from it..." (Ginger Coyote, Punk Globe) "His poetry and thoughts fly into the night, the search for human connection, he knows his place within the stars and time, believes in nothing, embracing his foibles, his anger and vision of the world. This is great writing, I wasn't expecting to snort it all in a few hours but I did. Unstoppable." (Abbie Foxton, Urban F) "There's very little to compare it to -- Ray doesn't even stick to standard punctuation -- so don't expect to have seen any of this before. Do expect to be shocked, confused, thrilled and more than a little invigorated." (Tony Black, Pulp Pusher) "u.v. ray is by turns passionate, angered, insightful and rebellious... Great writing removes the lid from the rotting can, it challenges the false and empty symbol. u.v. ray does that with aplomb." (Richard Godwin, Apostle Rising)
