Corpse of Freedom -
An American Novel
Written by Dax Garner & Lloyd Garner available from Books
On Fire.
Corpse of Freedom is a dark suburban adventure sprinkled with humor and suspense. It is more than just a fun read; it’s a motivational tale meant to inspire readers to live a life worthy of remembrance.
Description - During the eternal quest for pleasure, Ryan finds himself digging up the corpse of another teenager, Jeffrey Neil. He soon befriends the carcass, and through the online journal Jeffrey left behind, Ryan is mentored toward a new perspective on life.
But has his unnatural friendship cursed him? Will he be strong enough to escape the black hole that is his hometown? And who is this tattooed freak that hunts him like some bloodthirsty ghoul? Ryan better be careful; there are cops everywhere...
Inside an empire of mediocrity, the spirit of rebellion is reborn. Do you
want to rock, or what?
What People Are Saying:
"Coming of age stories are either brilliant and poignant, or shameless fluff; and Corpse of Freedom is definitely the former. The characters are fleshed out (no pun intended) well enough that you can connect with them, and in fact, if you find yourself unable to relate in any way with Ryan and his crew - chances are I would have hated you in high school.
Corpse of Freedom is entertaining, thought provoking and very insightful, and I can recommend it readily to anyone who's survived youth already, or is suffering through it right now." - BumsCorner.com
"It definitely will make an impression." - Razorcake Magazine
"Like a small town, lower middle class version of Bret Easton Ellis' Less than Zero...Corpse of Freedom could be made into a great movie." - Karl Backman, Summer Of Hate
