"There used to be a band called
They Might Be Giants. You won't know them. You couldn't. I'll explain-because though there's little point doing so, there's less doing anything else ..."Marc Limoncello dwells in a windowless basement apartment and chain-smokes his way through graveyard shifts at
The Calico Bash Nitely-a fleabag motel 'located right at the pulse of the armpit of a town known as
Laampray'-where, quite by chance, he stumbles upon a typewritten manuscript, hidden away in the vents, which purports to do the impossible: rank, definitively and inarguably, every album and song by the music group
They Might Be Giants.Not interested in the band, himself, Limoncello soon discovers others are-and more than a little-several with rather unique notions about what might be accomplished with such manifesto were its contents proven true ... and zero qualms about the lengths they'll go to acquire it.Equal parts paranoid thriller, occult potboiler, and wrong-man noir
John I've Been Bad And They're Coming After Me is a mind-bending, cross-genre novel of conspiracy, murder, and existential mayhem.
