Catching Up With Andersen Prunty

Author Andersen Prunty

Three years have passed since I last encountered author and editor Andersen Prunty. He’s a good guy and I always enjoy hanging out with him. Thankfully DogCon 2 provided me a chance to do just that! To say he’s always got something going on is an understatement; he’s got 17 books out, and I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an advance copy of his next novel during the revel and rumpus of Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio.

About Fuckness

This darkly offbeat novel opens with the narrator, Wallace Black, as the target of the school bully’s violence. After suffering a horrendous beating, Black goes home to his equally abusive family. As a punishment for fighting at school, his mother straps a set of grotesque horns to the top of his head. He is unsure of where the horns came from. They have always been in the house. And they contain a power no one could have expected.

Let Andersen Prunty (ZEROSTRATA, MORNING IS DEAD, and THE BEARD) guide you through a sometimes hilarious, sometimes violent and terrifying coming-of-age Midwestern gothic novel.
