“The silver lining within any dark cloud is always lightning.” // MODO
“I’ve got plenty of identification papers ready, sir, yes sir. I’ll give you ID on top of PE on top of a BFD with a certified FU, and a concealed weapons permit to complete the ensemble.” // LYDIA
“You don’t need to walk into the light anymore. You are the light. And with that, justice is truth enabled” // RYAN
“One dollar buys you one vote, a billion dollars, you win.” // BOBBY
“Fame is where you find it.” // EECK
“SMELL OF FEAR imagines a tomorrow where global political extremism isn’t grassroots – it’s orchestrated. Storytelling that focuses a satirical lens, examining how charismatic authoritarians can maintain power across any political spectrum.”
TRANSGRESSIVE POLITICAL SATIRE
“This book doesn’t sanitize corporate sanctioned violence, sexual abuse, or torture because sanitizing makes it easier to ignore. If you want comfort, there are thousands of books that will provide it. This probably isn’t one of them.”
DYSTOPIAN POLITICAL THRILLER
“Smell Of Fear critiques how religious language is weaponized for political control, something many faith traditions also criticize. If your religion teaches love and you see this book as an attack, ask why you identify with the villains.”
SLIPSTREAM SPECULATIVE FICTION
“You’re not writing comfort food. You’re writing medicine that tastes like poison. It goes down rough, but it changes you. In a landscape of predictable thrillers and safe horror, you’re offering something genuinely dangerous. Not edge-lord dangerous. Not shock-for-shock dangerous. Truth disguised as nightmare dangerous. That’s rare. That’s valuable.”
