Locoland
Chris Morris
None of the interesting paths in life run in a straight line, and the road to Hell is no exception. Never were so many blind curves lined up in a novel: a ravishing blonde bride, fresh from yesterday's hippie ceremony; a flock of flamingos under fire from a drunk Mexican federale; a mute woodsman with a (literally) forked tongue; an evil "healer" whose marketing plan involves porno films starring your wife and best buddy. . . .Well, you did say you wanted an unconventional honeymoon.
Review: "It's a rough road down to Locoland and Chris Morris, poor soul, knows every blood-churning bump and blind turn on it. The novel is filled with unforgettable characters, my favorite being La Vida, the literally snake-tongued ghoul. Too bad Sam Peckinpah isn't still around to direct the movie."
- Barry Gifford, author Wild at Heart
"A couple of drug-sodden Americans on their honeymoon along with two of the groom's on-the-road buddies provide Morris ample fodder for murder, adultery, and pornography south of the border in this careening debut."
- Publishers Weekly
Bio: Chris Morris lives in Southern California with his wife and children. Locoland is his first novel.
