About me:
Jack and Mr. Grin is a bizarro novel by Andersen Prunty. It is NOW AVAILABLE from:
Amazon
Description:
Jack Orange is a twentysomething guy who works at a place called The Tent packing dirt in boxes and shipping them off to exotic, unheard of locales. He thinks about his girlfriend, Gina Black, and the ring he hopes to surprise her with. But when he returns home one day, Gina isn’t there. He receives a strange call from a man who sounds like he is smiling—Mr. Grin. He says he has Gina. He gives Jack twenty- four hours to find her.
What follows is Jack’s bizarre journey through an increasingly warped and surreal landscape where an otherworldy force burns brands into those he comes in contact with, trains appear out of thin air, rooms turn themselves inside out and computers are powered by birds. And if he does find Gina, how will he ever survive a grueling battle to the death with Mr. Grin?
ADVANCE PRAISE:
"This is the hard-core of emotional horror." Jeff Burk, Literary Strange Digest
“When Mr. Grin calls you can hear a smile in his voice. Not a warm and friendly smile, but the kind that seizes your spine in fear. You don’t need to pay your phone bill to hear it. That smile is in every line of Prunty’s prose.” Tom Bradley, author of Lemur
“Just imagine David Lynch directing an episode of The Twilight Zone.” Jordan Krall, author of Piecemeal June and Squid Pulp Blues
“Suspense like a 747 in an empty cockpit nosedive. With each new twist jamming the imagery throttle deeper into the titanium of my rapidly melting cranium... Utterly mind fucked!” Bryan Lewis Saunders, author of Sex, Drugs and Institutions, musician/performance artist
“With Jack and Mr. Grin Andersen Prunty firmly establishes himself as a master of the bizarro thriller. Fans of the absurdist/surrealist mysteries of David Lynch and Barry Gifford should seek this book out immediately, and keep in a dark place.” John Edward Lawson, author of Sin Conductor
“Jack and Mr. Grin’s set-up had me expecting a totally-surreal ride, but most of the body of the story actually plays like a standard thriller. Prunty's writing is well done, and just when I thought Eraserhead Press had somehow released a “normal” story, the third section of the book dives head-first into surreal-bizarro land, packed with odd settings, brutal violence, and some minor head-scratching that cleverly unfolds at a fine pace.” Nick Cato, The Horror Fiction Review
“With Jack and Mr. Grin, Andersen Prunty has enjoyably distilled the brutal tropes and excitement of the best of Stephen King into one stiff shot.” Jess Gulbranson, author of Mel
