In the city of Los Angeles, where dreams and reality blur the line, a young writer struggles to survive the grip of poverty. As he tries to find the words that will unlock his freedom, supernatural and societal forces attempt to take control of his life. In the end he must decide if he will embrace his fate or sacrifice himself to preserve his free-will.
In Fake Tattoos, after turning down a job from the NSA and a rapidly declining career as a writer, our mysterious narrator is attempting to write a mainstream piece of cliché garbage that everyone will love. The problem is that poverty is making his life unbearable and is quickly turning him into a violent revolutionary. Delivering food on his bicycle is consuming all his time. A late night delivery brings him into a fetish club where he meets a young vampire-witch named Samantha.
Despite the great connection the two have and the love he feels for her, Samantha is saving her body for her lord, Satan. Our narrator is no stranger to the supernatural world and his time with Samantha only strengthens his connection to the spirit realm. The more he embraces the Satanic forces, the more his desires are fulfilled, but it continues to leave him unsatisfied. Eventually he must lose everything, including his sanity, in order to fulfill his divine destiny.
Fake Tattoos is Noir Urban Fantasy/Horror set in the dystopic present, it is an examination of life in a class based society, viewed through a lens of science and magic as told by a quirky and mysterious narrator.
If you're a fan of books such as Fight Club, Naked Lunch, The Devil in Silver, or Ishmael, you'll be sure to enjoy Fake Tattoos.
