"Everything Everywhere All at Once" meets "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
(...in a 1990s record company!)
Aliens have hatched a rockstar. Brain extractions, falling body parts, and blood-vessel explosions are the norm. Alex’s dream job has turned into a nightmare.
What should she do?
It's the 1990s. Alex arrives at Acht Records, her improbable blonde hair streaked stress magenta and anger black. Her first duty is to wipe blood off her boss's walls. It goes downhill from there.
Rock Gods & Messy Monsters is a humorous story about life inside a record company. Yet between the lines of satire and nods to science fiction, the book is a thought-provoking female narrative and social commentary on the corporate world.
Join Alex as she weaves through a comedic cast of characters and down crazed corridors of power, where her boss attempts to thwart her at every turn.
The 1990s New York City music scene never seemed so alien, yet so familiar.
Carol Anderson from the US Review of Books captures its essence perfectly: "The novel is so perverse it causes one to laugh out loud at the deranged storyline and detailed descriptions. This is truly satire at its best."
"Satirical, zany, hilarious—a gut-punching commentary about the inner workings of the music industry, its power complexes, and power plays." –The BookLife Prize
“Look, let's be honest. This book is gross, but fast-paced and funny, and all it takes to make that connection is to have experienced being a woman in a man's corporate world. Or really, just being a woman at all. A timeless struggle, set in a dystopian world where reality and fantasy merge to bring home hard realities with humor and wit. It's horror mixed with misogyny, and I'll leave it to readers to decide which is truly more horrific. The war is real, ladies, and it's fantastic to see our victories become reality, in life and in prose!” - International Review of Books”
