This story was written on a Joe Konrath dare. It's a tale of wine drinking and the taste of pure regret. It is a story of ganja bums and frat boys and squid pirates and whoreboards and bloodsuckers. If you REALLY need to classify this story - it is your basic bizarro steam-driven cyberpunk neo-fantasy that takes place in a setting that was inspired by Munden's Bar - (how many Grimjack fans out there?) - and in short is a fast, fun and very weird read. Pick it up and down it at a swallow.
