photo(1)AN INTERVIEW TO ROCK YOUR STRIPEY SOCKS OFF

 

I was recently interviewed over on Bizarro Central for their new “Show Me Your Shelves” mini-series ran by the great Gabino Iglesias. He asks some questions and, as you can probably guess, I answer them. You’ve read interviews before. I also show off some groovy pics of my bookshelf and my melting Dali clock, plus my gorgeous fucking face.

So go check that thing out. And then pre-order Toxicity so these kids stop complaining about not having dinner.

The Party Lords

by Justin Grimbol

Grindhouse Press

October 2013; 86 pages

Paperback ($9.95); Kindle ($299)

This book is not for everybody. If you are easily offended by crude language and highly graphic sexual scenes, then this book might not be the best thing to pick up. However, fans of movies like SUPERBAD and HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE, should give it a shot.

The story, at its core, is simple and one you’ve seen countless times before: there’s a big party going on hosted by the popular high school kids, and the misfits are given a chance to be cool and bring the booze. The misfits encounter a series of whacky and hilarious events as they attempt to get the alcohol. However, here’s where it is a bit different than your typical story: the main character, Buttcrack, is a 30 year old man who has never left high school, and his best friend is a lunatic pervert named Ta’Bone. On their adventures, Buttcrack and Ta’Bone encounter mutants and inbreds and misused turkey basters.

Justin Grimbol’s prose is very stripped down and easy to read. His characters are insane and surreal. They come off like the cartoon characters based off of kids I knew growing up.

This was a very quick read that I was unsure about going in, but I am glad I finished. Be warned that there are a lot of typos in this book; it could definitely use another edit, but there are some very funny scenes here that make up for it.

I recommend this book to anyone who–like me–has watched the movie SUPERBAD over a hundred times.

They Might Be Demons is Available Right Now

My second book, a collection of bizarro flash fiction, is now available on Amazon in paperback from Dark Moon Books. Kindle version is also on its way, so stay tuned. In the mean time . . . GET SOME.

No one likes tourists, especially when tourists are demons from the underworld with a penchant for torturing and killing all humans.When people say, “All hell broke loose”, they probably weren’t talking about They Might Be Demons. Although Hell doesn’t exactly “break loose” in this book, it does take a little vacation. Destination? Earth. And while that may sound like a bummer as it is, just wait until you discover they’ve chosen YOUR town as the primary get-together spot. Oh crap, SPOILER ALERT!

Sorry for ruining the big surprise. But yeah, you’re pretty much boned.

Have fun!
