American Blasphemer

Would you dance with the Devil in New York City?

Even if she wanted to kill you?

A wild, intimate, literary novel written in the tradition of Denis Johnson, Charles Bukowski, and Hunter S. Thompson, each chapter of American Blasphemer delivers new characters and unforgettable experiences - a knife fight with a sex addict, a psychedelic family Christmas, a Cathedral burning in Manhattan, a midnight visit to Elvis's grave, and more.

This debaucherous but heartfelt tale culminates in a showdown with a tattooed witch who tries to get the writer to join her coven after meeting him at a rock concert in Times Square.
