Skullcrack City

THE MINDBLOWING CULT CLASSIC RETURNS!\n"A nightmarish yet hilarious journey that begins in the ugly world of toxic mortgages and progresses to the slightly uglier world of brain-eating monsters lurking in dark alleys. You're in for an entirely unpredictable ride, the tale spinning ludicrously out of control as the hero uncovers layer after grotesque layer of a vast macabre conspiracy. Skullcrack City is original, utterly insane, and a shitload of fun."―DAVID WONG, author of John Dies at the End\nYou weren't always an agent of the apocalypse. You used to be a banker. Who knew that too much coffee and a few bad decisions would lead to the end of the world?\nLife as a corporate drone was killing S.P. Doyle, so he decided to bring down the whole corrupt system from the inside. But after discovering something monstrous in the bank's files, he was framed for murder and trapped inside a conspiracy beyond reason.\nNow Doyle's doing his best to survive against a nightmare cabal of crooked conglomerates, DNA-doped mutants, drug-addled freak show celebs, experimental surgeons, depraved doomsday cults, and the ultra-bad mojo of a full-blown Hexadrine habit. Joined by his pet turtle Deckard, and Dara, a beautiful missionary with a murderous past, Doyle must find a way to save humankind and fight the terrible truth at the heart of...\nSKULLCRACK CITY\nFrom the Inside Flap\nWINNER OF THE WONDERLAND BOOK AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL.\nNominated for Novel of the Year in the 2015 This Is Horror Awards.\nIncluded on the following Best of 2015 Lists: Vol. 1 Brooklyn Top 10, Entropy Top 50, Booked Top 3, Brian Keene/The Horror Show Top 10, Powell's Small Press Bestsellers, Demon Theory Solid Reads 2015, Spinetingler Top Reads, Spontaneous Combustion Top 10, Shotgun Logic Top 15, Postcards from a Dying World Top 10\n"Genre-bending...haunting and humorous."―THE WASHINGTON POST\n"Skullcrack City messes with your mind the way William Burroughs or a bellyful of hallucinogens will do. I'm a longtime fan of Johnson. A master of derangement, he's been bringing it for years. This time, though, it's different. He's burst into the clear and is taking seven-league strides across the literary landscape."―LAIRD BARRON, author of The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All\n"It's the god-damnedest novel you're liable to read this year: dizzyingly smart, fast, funny, and horrifying, bursting at the seams with the kind of 21st-century subversive post-cyber/splatterpunk renegade ideas you've been needing even more than you knew, and strangely, deeply moving on top. [I]mmense as the plot may seem, it's all building to a grand finale of genuine Philip K. Dickian mindblow proportions. And when it pays off, it pays off like crazy. Skullcrack City is a game-changer."―FANGORIA\n"Skullcrack City's blend of genres, breakneck pacing, brutality, and dashes of philosophy and social critique serve to cement Johnson as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary fiction. Skullcrack City is a smart, incredibly well-researched, and painfully plausible look at our immediate future. Jeremy Robert Johnson's work has always tested the limits of both genre and literary fiction and this novel proves that there's still new ground to tread and that he's already on it."―BOOKSLUT\n"F***ing incredibly well written and really entertaining the whole time. Wholly original--it's a gem. Without question a FIVE STAR book."―BOOKED\n"Jeremy Robert Johnson is a f***ing wizard. The final third of the book is a masterpiece. Skullcrack City is a journey that f***s with your mind and plays with your heart. You need to pick up this book and read it for yourself."―TIFFANY SCANDAL at SUICIDE GIRLS\n"Read the hell out of Skullcrack City. It's magnificent. Like The Wolf of Wall Street meets Scanners."―ROBERT BROCKWAY, author of The Unnoticeables\n"Jeremy Robert Johnson is a madman. [Skullcrack City] was worth the wait...the end is both unexpected and rewarding."―WILLAMETTE WEEK\n"Like James Ellro
