{"product_id":"9780976654629","title":"God Laughs When You Die","description":"\u003cp\u003eA host of drug dealers meets a foe they cannot kill. The president accidentally invites demons into the country and watches the pope turn into a sabertooth tiger. A man, dead since 1920, lives again in present day Los Angeles to satiate a malevolent goddess. These tales by Michael Boatman will disturb, terrify and traumatize you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoatman grabs you by throat and drags you kicking and screaming through his prose. With a dash of Lansdale and a smattering of Martina's Wild Cards, the tales within inhabit the dark and nasty side of our souls, and throughout Boatman infuses it all with a keen wit and an eye for detail. And when he lets you up to breathe, like God, you might just find yourself laughing. This is the sort of stuff I like to read as the bells sound midnight. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Haines award-winning author of Doorways for the Dispossessed \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoatman's debut collection will knock you down and kick you in the teeth. Alternatingly hysterical, grotesque, bizarre, and fantastic, Boatman's collection is a must-read for anyone itching to get their hands on fresh new fiction that pulls no punches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRonald Damien Malfi, author of The Nature of Monsters and The Fall of Never \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Boatman writes like a visitor from hell. Someone out on short term leave for bad behavior. I love this stuff. He's one of the new, and more than promising, writers making his mark, and a dark and wonderful mark it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe R.
