Do you like your crime fiction hard-boiled? Soft-boiled? Not boiled at all? Meet Wilson. He’s on trial for killing the Governor of the Homeless. But everyone knows that the man he killed was not the Governor. With the help of the pulp paperback Abortionstein, the gambler Chinese Charlie, an old film about Robin Hood and/or King Arthur, a dream about a female brewer, and the ramblings of the accused himself, our paranoid narrator must unravel a reverse mystery to uncover the meaning of this kangaroo court. Who is the real Governor and how is he related to these alleged reverse abortion procedures? In Governor of the Homeless, G. Arthur Brown turns dystopian sci-fi, noir, and horror on their heads to pervert previous conceptions of history, science, conspiracy theories, and politics through a hallucinatory lens. Get ready for your brain to be burned. "G. Arthur Brown is at the forefront of a new generation of writers. One of my favorites." — Brian Keene, best-selling author of The Complex and The Rising "G. Arthur Brown—already respected as a syntactically immaculate weaver of tales both comical and absurd—now ventures into the darkness to deliver us the strange and unsettling horrors of Governor of the Homeless." — Jeremy Robert Johnson, author of Skullcrack City
