Series

Raping the Gods
“Brian Whitney’s first novel is weird, surreal, and at times so laugh-out-loud funny that you will cough up your breakfast. Imagine if Hunter Thompson and William S. Burroughs went upriver in a Navy patrol boat to visit Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now. That would be a lot like Raping the Gods.” “Imagine if Bukowski got drunk and wrote Stephen King’s book of advice for aspiring authors, On Writing. What you'd have is Raping the Gods (Again!).” - Patrick Quinlan, Los Angeles Times bestselling author of All Those Moments In the tradition of Charles Bukowski and Hunter Thompson, comes two black comedies about professional writers and the work they do. Oh yeah, and about alcoholism, male camaraderie, and the dark side of sex. And also women. Brian Whitney is a dissolute, dead broke, alcoholic writer in Portland, Maine, just trying to make the big time.
