Brand New Cherry Flavor
Meet Lisa. A Hollywood Legend in-the-making, Lisa Nova played the third nude victim in The L.A. Ripper. She helped produce the underground masterpiece, Girl, 10, Murders Boys. Lisa was on her way – until today, when she got screwed (literally) out of a much needed directing job. Now Lisa wants revenge. And what Lisa wants...
Todd Grimson's lyrically violent rock 'n' roll vampire novel, Stainless, was called the "ultimate late-night in L.A." by Geek Love author Katherine Dunn. Brand New Cherry Flavor – no taste for the faint hearted – is an erotic urban nightmare that takes us even further into the Hollywood underscene where dreams are turned like tricks and weird designer drugs are quaffed like cocktails.
Blessed with the body and brains, Lisa uses both to wreak her special vengeance, networking her way from the rock star Code, to ultra-hip DJ Ultra Jim, through Zed, who collects tres personal celebrity memorabilia (i.e. Drew Barrymore's tampons) all the way to Boro, a young Latino lowrider who claims a line of credit in the afterworld.
Boro's bloody retribution begins with an exploding guest spraying warm gore across Lisa's victim. And it gets even better. When mysterious tattoos start appearing on Lisa's Body, accompanied by stranger-than-usual sexual desires, Lisa realizes that her hunger for revenge has awakened a most ancient and implacable curse. She has networked her way into a terrifying reality that reaches all the way from Rodeo Drive to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, from Topanga Canyon to the lost graveyards of the Amazon...
Lisa, Meet the Soul Eater.
Audaciously conceived and astonishingly well written, Todd Grimson's hard-rock thriller that will secure his place as one of alternative literature's most daring new talents.
