Produktbeschreibung

The Apocalypse Pipe is a unique and varied collection of poems and stories by author Aaron Echoes August. Much of the work in this collection revolves around the struggles of complex individuals existing within the often-suffocating parameters of the human condition. Characters in these poems and stories are readily faced with a world that doesn't understand them and doesn't make sense. These are the stories of ordinary people in unordinary circumstances, including reflections on the author's own life and personal challenges in a world that is often not fit for certain souls.

The Apocalypse Pipe plunges readers into the lives of outcasts, men and women simply trying to survive in various versions of society that often test the mettle of their own hyper sensitivities: After being fired for sexual harassment, a cooking show host turns to a trio of mannequins for life advice. In a satirical stinger, an architect falls prey to overzealous corporate recruitment rhetoric and throws his promising career away to work at a convenience store. An anti-social loner exacts revenge on his arrogant, snobbish family by exposing his mother's illicit affair in a very embarrassing and disastrous way. A suburban housewife finally stands up to her domineering husband and the eating of meat in a tale of domestic and food industry rebellion that ends with tragic results.

Welcome to a world of oddball lifestyles, bizarre circumstances, serious struggles, and unexpected outcomes. The works in this collection touch on themes of the paranormal, dystopian futures, space and time travel, marital strife, social injustice, political unease, love and loss, loneliness, triumph, death, and ultimately hope for a better world for all of humanity. Written in deeply felt language full of whimsical yet vivid descriptions of people and places, The Apocalypse Pipe is an emotional gathering of words that will leave readers longing for more. Length: Approx. 340 pages.
