From the Inside Flap

Excerpt From "The Toothache Man"He called himself a Toothache Man. He'd been a dentist for over twenty years, once owned a thriving practice out in Encino, but his license got pulled over some bureaucratic bunk. Since then, he'd gone underground, practicing out of a cracker-box south of downtown LA, flying under the radar, until the medical board got their heads out of their behinds and gave him his ticket back. I understood what he was going through all too well. The system was pounding on him just as gleefully as it was pounding on me. In a sense, we were both victims of the same failed system that allowed people like me to get up and go to work every day like the normal work force, only thing is we were not the normal workforce. We were the auxiliary workforce. That's what they called us, since it's kind of insulting to call someone who's been busting their hump for you for two years "temporary." Call it what you will, temporary, auxiliary, it all boils down to the same bag o' bones. If you're not on the regular payroll, you get NO BENEFITS.That's the beauty of the American free market system. When you're in power, you have carte blanche to screw over the working man, and when he hollers, you screw him over some more. People like me and the Toothache Man are just trying to fight back any way we can. The price was right, too--twenty five dollars for pulling a tooth. You can't even get a decent hooker for twenty-five dollars. Brittany, that's my lady friend, has a cousin, Arthur, who'd gone to the Toothache Man, and he fixed him up real good. I heard he didn't have all the fancy new equipment you find in most dental offices. But he had what I needed, anesthesia and the tools to yank the thing out. While I appreciated that he was cheap, and a victim of our failed system, the main reason I sought out the Toothache Man was there is no pain like toothache pain. Am I right? There is nothing like waking up from a deep sleep feeling as though someone is taking a sledge hammer to your jaw. There's a special place in hell for that kind of pain.

"Has the feel of an old fashioned horror movie with elements which are more than a little reminiscent of Stephen King's Pet Sematary, and The Terminator. As well as Chucky."-Amazon Customer "Creepy Scary Good." - Lore Kimbrough
