Beschreibung

#1 Runner Up, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Eric Hoffer Award 2024 & Grand Prize Shortlist Finalist "Everything Everywhere All at Once" meets "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (...in a 1990s record company!) Aliens hatched a rockstar. Brain extractions, falling body parts, and blood-vessel explosions are the norm. Alex's dream job has turned into a nightmare. What should she do? It's the 1990s. Alex arrives at Acht Records, her improbable blonde hair streaked stress magenta and anger black. Her first duty is to wipe blood off her boss's walls. It goes downhill from there. Rock Gods & Messy Monsters is a humorous story about life inside a record company. Yet between the lines of satire and nods to science fiction, the book is a thought-provoking female narrative and social commentary on the corporate world. Join Alex as she weaves through a comedic cast of characters and down crazed corridors of power, where her boss attempts to thwart her at every turn. The 1990s New York City music scene never seemed so alien, yet so familiar.
