Party Wolves Unleashed in Bizarro Debut Novel from Michael A Rose
What
happens when a man’s eyeballs fall in love and leave their owner? When
Norman Spooter’s eyeballs steal his car and take off for parts
unknown, he does what any of us would probably do in that situation...
he goes back to bed, hoping it'll all resolve itself. Unfortunately, in
the middle of the night, a pack of WOLVES moves in. The worst thing
is, they're party wolves... so he decides he's going to get his
eyeballs back. He joins forces with a mysterious woman named Zoe, She
needs him too... She's on the run from her psycho ex-boyfriend, who
happens to be a dangerous walrus. The road trip/chase novel is flipped
on its head with a few stops in such places as the bizarre “Motel Sick”
and a cult town in North Dakota. With violence and insanity nipping at
his heels and a race against the clock to get his body parts back,
this could turn out very badly for Norman Spooter.
Michael
Allen Rose explores this bizarre premise in Party Wolves in my Skull
(108 pp., tpb, $9.95), a bizarro road-trip novel brimming with
imagination. Rose’s plays have been seen in Chicago, as well as New
York, Portland, Denver and other major cities. He’s also been published
as part of the anthology “Kizuna: Fiction for Japan,” an international
effort to bring relief to Japan in the wake of the 2011 tsunami. This
project however, marks Rose’s first turn as a published novelist.
Patrick
Wensink, author of Black Hole Blues and Sex Dungeon for Sale! has this
to say: “Supposedly, Hemmingway pulled the trigger after failing to
finish the Great American Lupine Shindig Novel. Thankfully, Michael Rose
picks up where Papa left off and saves a bullet in the process. Filled
with runaway eyeballs, debauched wolves and a pill-popping man trying
to keep it all straight, Party Wolves in my Skull is one furry keg
stand of a book.”
Garrett
Cook, Jimmy Plush: Teddy Bear Detective and Archelon Ranch says the
book is "Unusual. Special. A union of Rocko's Modern Life and The Coen
Brothers oozing with creativity and heart."
Zack
Parsons, Something Awful columnist and author of “Your Next Door
Neighbor is a Dragon” says, "Party Wolves in My Skull reflects Michael
Rose’s unwavering commitment to the absurd."
