I Will Rot Without You

"I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU is like Cronenberg's THE FLY if it had been directed by Frank Zappa and Bruce Bickford. Nightmarishly rich in vision, absurdly and painfully hilarious, sorrowfully poignant, and bristling with outrageous surprises that never ever ever stop coming till it's done." - John Skipp, from his introductionWHEN THE WORLD FALLS APART AND YOUR BODY STARTS TO ROT, LET THE ROACHES LEAD.Meet Ernie. His life is a mess. Gretchen's gone, and the apartment they once shared in this grey, grim city is now overrun with intelligent mold and sinister bugs.Then his neighbor Dee shows up, so smart and lovely. If he can just get past the fact that her jealous boyfriend could reach out of her blouse and punch him in the face at any moment, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.Unfortunately for all involved, a Great Storm is coming and it will wash away everything we've ever known about the human heart.

From the Inside Flap

WINNER OF THE WONDERLAND BOOK AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL"A true masterpiece in Bizarro storytelling." - BENEATH THE UNDERGROUND"Danger Slater is fearless. That much is obvious. But it's when you realize that he's also shameless about how he feels that you recognize you're in the hands of a mad-lover, a very funny-fiend, an artist...[I Will Rot Without You] is the kind of book that makes you want to write one of your own." - JOSH MALERMAN, author of Bird Box"Like Casablanca if it were directed by Harmony Korine's cousin on a mescaline binge." - DIRGE MAGAZINE"It's so much more than in-your-face splatterpunk, it truly defies description" - CEMETERY DANCE"A complete upside-down, inside-out trip through the wringer, fascinating, impossible to walk away from or forget." - HORROR FICTION REVIEW"At its core, I Will Rot Without You is an authentically human book about loss, identity, and the cost of moving on. It is also wonderfully gross." - SPLATTERPUNK ZINE"I Will Rot Without You goes 200 miles per hour, in punchy bursts through Ernie's chaos, which is hilarious in places, devastating in others, and populated by a cast of insanely imaginative characters doing unimaginable things." - THESE WALKING BLUES "If Richard Brautigan and William S. Burroughs had a baby, it would be Danger Slater." - THE NOVEL PURSUIT
