Leather to the Corinthians

Leather to the Corinthians

Celebrities grown in nutrient vats. Holographic sex clubs where anything is possible. A church that worships superheroes. A military force of carnival clowns and plushie killing machines. Welcome to The Village -- home to a mad despot known only as The King, the mega-corporation Sell Inc, and the 10,000-channel media conglomerate Network One. A coup has reduced The Village to rubble. Now, a nameless soldier struggles with his humanity, a priest faces a crisis of faith, a salesman falls in love with a digital mistress, and a post-punk tribe of motorized merchants fights for its very survival. It’s going to take a while to clean up this mess. Hopefully, someone brought snacks. "A perceptual Pandora's Box cracks open as one gets a sense of being transported into a surreal, video game-like, sci-fi world where consumption and confusion rule...A cerebral roller coaster ride that keeps readers on their temporal toes!" -- Between the Lines "Hunter S. Thompson meets Monty Python meets the Marx Brothers meets Naked Lunch...A punning pastiche of the verbal kitsch of late twentieth/early twenty-first century America" -- IndieReader "A world of colourful chaos and filth (similar to the one found in Transmetropolitan) with a hint of Lewis Carroll's sense in nonsense (or nonsense in sense) make this book a must read." -- Ramblings of an Aspiring Writer "A fun read that will appeal to counter-culture enthusiasts." -- The Midwest Book Review "Lucas holds nothing back in this zany spin on consumerism and the chaos of cultural backstabbing." -- Bizarro Central I want to burn the palaces down.
