Los
Angeles. Criminy. He's still only in Los Angeles.
Marty Burns - once-upon-a-time child star, occasional detective,
eternal wise-ass and grudging voyager into the weirdest nooks and
crannies of the Great Googly-Moogly - is back on the supernatural
beat. With a full moon above him and a naked lady below, accompanied
by a man who thinks he is a dog and a woman of great power who is
nuttier than an elephant's
breath, Marty embarks on a savage journey up the Los Angeles River
without a paddle. It's okay, though: the river is dry.
But, lordy mama, there's a mighty storm a'coming.
Lost Boys, hairy girls, centuries-old shamans, cigar store Indians,
birthday bikers, and a baby with very big teeth are just some of
the perils Marty will have to survive as he and his companions wend
their way into the heart of darkness and the darkness of the heart.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll thank all that's holy and otherwise
that you don't live in L.A.
And you'll never get out of the freakin' boat.
An original novella by Jay Russell, with an Introduction by Paul
McAuley, an Afterword by Russell, and art by J. K. Potter.
