It is the early '90s.
At your local café, you drink the darkest of coffees as you read the latest Gen-X Lit. You are broke-but you are alive. Grunge rock thunks in the background and the internet isn't even invented yet. Welcome back.
The Patricidal Bedside Companion was originally published in 1994 by St. Martin's Press. K.S. Haddock wrote it between temp jobs as a graphic artist in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. St. Martin's had just published Douglas Coupland's Generation X and was looking for another Gen-X hit. They set their sights on Patricidal. It's 27 years later and Haddock got the publishing rights back, so he decided to publish a long-overdue second edition. So, take a tour of early nineties lit, Gen-x style. Enjoy.Original jacket blurb: Riley O'Dunnough is on the run ... from a year of debauchery, carnal adventure, and homicidal fantasies. He's lost his girlfriend (crazy), his father (dead), and his mind (AWOL). The Patricidal Bedside Companion is modern film noir, colorized and put on paper, a dangerous story of murderous intent and the perils of falling for Nietzsche- quoting beauties. K.S. Haddock still lives in San Francisco, still plays a mean guitar. Check him out at kshaddock.com. This free-flowing first novel has a great deal of off-the-wall charm... - Publisher's Weekly Witty, provocative, powerful, and more than a little bit twisted. - Danny Sugerman, author of No One Gets Out of Here Alive, Wonderland Avenue and Appetite for Destruction: The Days of Guns N' Roses.
