Praise for
Gods on the Lam
“A whirling crazy ride that brings noir into collision with the American West, alien abduction, memory loss, conspiracy theory, and general weirdness of all kinds and then throws in more than a dash of drunken romance. Odd, crazed and compelling in all the best ways.”
“Gods on the Lam is a vibrant, pulpy collage that transcends genre... a gritty neo-noir tale about lost memories and missing persons ...a love letter to midcentury noir and speculative literature.”
“This is a grittier, drier The Pines, with some of that Charlie Sheen The Arrival mixed in, and with Christopher David Rosales firing on all eight cylinders.”
Gods on the Lam
Wayne, a former forest service fire-fighter, wakes up on the highway-side unsure of where he was going or who he is. It’s the 1980s, and a rash of disappearances haunt his small Northern Arizona mountain town called Show Low. The disappearances are being called abductions. Meanwhile, reformed alcoholic and dedicated mother, Ruby, has been hunting her missing son for years and believes he did not simply run away. Her search leads her to Show low. In the forest, loggers have transformed into zombie-like creatures fighting over the last of a vial of blue liquid. In Wayne’s investigations alongside Ruby, they learn one very important thing about Wayne’s past, and that vial. It’s linked to Ruby’s missing son in a way that might drive her to kill for vengeance.
