Losing a parent is never easy. Each of us copes in our own way.
Some people accept the hand that fate has dealt them and move on with their lives. Others need time and substances.
Danny Heyward is choosing a different path. With the help of some sentient cockroaches, he aims to help his mom cheat death for as long as her animated body can hold itself together.
But when has playing God ever turned out well for anyone? What will be the consequences of such hubris?
Find out in this exciting installment of Shingles!
First, I'd like to put across two sentences from this book that stuck with me; “You can’t come in here shooting strippers without paying for them first” and “You may spray your seed all over my thorax.” And there were plenty of other fantastic one-liners. Now I always love feeling the pressure when I'm the first person to leave a review. And I'm amazed no one has touched this gem yet. So the title gives away the premise. Danny discovers his father's plan using an 'AIDS' device to create hyper-intelligent cockroaches, who infect his dead mother's body and breed, hoping to take over the world. There is an onslaught of racist instances, tons of vulgarity, sex and violence, pedophiles, a masked bomber, a time traveler, cockroaches invading a woman’s body and giving her bigger breasts and a supreme sexual appetite, sexual favors being elicited from children in a cancer ward at Josef Mengele Children's Hospital and plenty more. Basically one of the most offensive things you could read. But it was hysterical and gave me a wonderful 30-minute laughathon to start my day. Everyone should read this whether to skewer its inconsistencies and objectionable content, or, in my case, relish in the perversion and childish antics that make me howl in delight.
