In this collection of short stories and poems by Tony O'Neill, you will meet a host of bizarre, fringe characters: Frank the Dog Walker, a junkie trying to score on New Years Day in a deserted city, the maniacal Dr. Ira, who has a special way of dispensing methadone to his more compliant patients . . . The failed writer Joe, who is about to learn to live without a very important part of his anatomy . . . The Chemist, who is cooking up a potent strain of heroin extracted from the brains of screaming victims . . . And the author himself, who chronicles his dependence on heroin in brutal, painstaking detail. Running the gamut from autobiographical writing, surrealist outrages, political satire and demented sci-fi, SEIZURE WET DREAMS is an unforgettable ride.
SEIZURE WET DREAMS can be purchased at: Amazon.co.uk, Beat the Dust and all good bookshops.
Praise for Tony O'Neill:
"Reading it, I could taste the LA smog. here pain comes at you like a Mack truck - relentless and unavoidable. Don't blink - keep reading." -- Dan Fante.
"Tony O'Neill writes like a man with his tongue in a light socket, and his toe in a puddle of spilled blood. I fucking loved this book!" -- Jerry Stahl.
"The great power of Tony O'Neill's poems is obvious to anybody, but I hope people understand what a rare, extreme talent it takes to write poetry at once so precise and beautiful yet so imperiled by the damage in its own world" -- Dennis Cooper.
