“Cody Goodfellow knows how to chill your blood. . .”

—STEPHEN KING

“Goodfellow delivers a highly entertaining weird fiction tale situated at the intersection of punk rock and religious philosophy. […] This slim, punchy volume can be read in one go, but readers will find it worth multiple readings to unpack the sheer volume of its theological insight. Unruly, funny, and wildly original, this rebel’s take on the quirks, pitfalls, and ironies of religious devotion sings.”

—Publishers Weekly

‘80s vintage horror with a contemporary edge. An exemplary wordsmith, his prose sticks a needle in your brain and gives it a twist. This stuff is Lovecraft on acid.

LAIRD BARRON

As far as Weird fiction goes, Cody lives it. Get into it, you goddamn mummy!

SKINNER

Goodfellow is gifted with a prose style of exceptional lyricism and evocativeness, and his narratives are infused with all the compelling readability and cumulative terror that distinguish Lovecraft's own. Vibrantly contemporary in setting and expression, they nonetheless constitute a fitting homage of the dreamer from Providence.

NEVER WORK, NEVER DIE

Buried half a mile beneath the desert sands of the US-Mexico border, exists a secret city that holds the promise of everything that draws refugees and immigrants to America––liberty, luxury and excess. . .

In this Terminal Autonomous Zone, two prophets will rise—one, a reckless seeker who believes the psychedelic mushrooms he’s discovered will spur a revolution in human consciousness; the other, a fire-and-brimstone preacher endowed by strange angels with a power that heals the sick and raises the dead—and as rival factions emerge around them, a march toward war begins . . .

Unamerica is madness. Timely, familiar, brilliant—but most of all, terrifying—madness.” —ROB HART, author of The Warehouse

“Goodfellow satirizes the excesses of capitalism, religion, and drug culture in this macabre dystopian fantasy... a wild, trippy journey through a horrifying nightmare version of America.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

“A gripping novel that lives up to the hype.” —THIS IS HORROR
