    About this ebook

    A novel. Roger lives in a rundown, dilapidated area that strangles his spirit every moment he is within it. He sees life as a pointless, dreary slog, where every day is exactly the same, and he drowns his days away with an ever flowing liquor stream. One night, he encounters a very mysterious woman. The problem is that he doesn't actually know if she is real or if he is just imagining her, From there, events become increasingly more bizarre and reality itself is called into question. What is real? What is not? And what is to be believed when everything seems far too absurd for it to possibly be true? Those are questions that Roger tries to find the resolution to. Figuring out the answers though, is not a puzzle to be easily solved.

    Author

    Mark Comstock

    I have written fifteen books, six under the name, Xavier Cockroachal Damon, six under the name, Aaron Aaronson, and three under the name, Mark Comstock. The books consist of novels and collections of stories and all have a lot of dark humor, often very dark. The books could be considered bizarre, outrageous, absurd and audacious. They are uncompromising, unconventional, irreverent and, most definitely, off the beaten path.
