Absolute Unit

"Action-packed, gory, and hilarious. I loved it!" - Michelle Garza
Absolute Unit is a dark carnival ride through the underside of the American Dream, where hustlers and parasites fight to survive against gun-toting furries, sarcastic drug kingpins, old ladies who are startlingly good with knives, and angry ex-girlfriends. It's a hardboiled slice of modern American horror that asks the deepest question of all: Is the human race worth saving?

Bill is a nobody, a health inspector who's not above taking a few dollars to overlook a restaurant's mouse problem, and hated by nearly everyone except his long-suffering girlfriend. His nephew, Trent, isn't much better: sexually and morally confused, he's probably the worst teenage con artist on the East Coast. But today, these two losers are going to become the most important people in the world.

That's because Bill and Trent harbor a sentient parasite with a sarcastic sense of humor and a ravenous appetite. As the parasite figures out how to control its new human hosts, the focus of its desires grows from delicious cheeseburgers and beer to something much darker and more dangerous.

The apocalypse might come from within us...

"[This] bizarro crime horror story is a friggin' blast, packed chock full of comedy, outrageousness, and violence."-Michael Patrick Hicks, author of The Resurrectionists
