Decadence Kills

di Michael P. Charlton (Autore)

Michael P. Charlton, 2023

"Decadence Kills follows in the tradition of William S. Burroughs, with its influx of dreamlike passages, descriptions of animalistic human behaviors, unsettling, near-apocalyptic imagery, and offering moments of stark poetry amidst the ugliness of the established universe." — BOOKLIFE PRIZE Decadence Kills is a pitch-black, Sweeney Todd-tinged story of contemporary class, murder, deep disgust, and occasional tenderness. Readers will find sharp prose and a story that gets wilder and more inventive as it goes. Comparable Titles: Michel Houellebecq, — PublISHERS WEEKLY "Michael P. Charlton is so gritty that he could eat Charles Bukowski for breakfast." — JOHN DAVID EBERT, CULTURAL CRITIC "Michael P. Charlton has a skill for writing rich dialogue, likeable characters, and memorable conflicts, the relationships enriched by violence and tenderness." — JAMES ANDERS BANKS, BOOKER PRIZE LISTED, AWARD-WINNING NOVELIST Western Civilization is suffering from a terminal illness. We can sit around and wait for the inevitable or fight until our last breath. Breakdown of families, collapsed traditions, increasing dependencies, and high crime rates. Decadence Kills will drop you into the bloodstream of decaying communities, showing how degeneracy has shattered the immune system of ordinary lives. A highly inventive novel that has been crafted to represent the exhausted greed that forever demands our limited attention. Slice your way through the thick, meaty prose which holds together our terrifying Present and dreaded Future.
