Not the End

James Hazard

Living with an alcoholic criminal for a mother is hard enough, but when your girlfriend disappears without a trace and earth is facing a mass extinction event, you might say that things just got a whole lot worse.

Just ask professional liquor store clerk and failed song writer Lenny O’Neal, who has grown up with an artificially intelligent cat and the memory of a father who was crushed like a tin can by a garbage truck.

Welcome to the future, where it is always hot, an idiotic narcissist is President of the United States, pets are robots, the police are for-hire thugs and a massive rock in space is headed our way.

From the author of The World’s Most Rotten Kid and Other Stories and Breakfast at the Food Box Café comes a tale of love lost and found, civil unrest, the meaning of life when all life is on the brink of collapse, con-artistry on a scale so vast it would make the Grand Canyon look like a crack in the sidewalk and the eternal struggle for justice, liberty and steak that isn’t made of mashed together beets and tofu.
