BLEACH

[read
excerpts: Bleach

This
is a story about living.
Fans
of fluffy romance novels and that all-too-familiar, over-hyped, edge-of-the-seat
crap should steer clear. This is life at its most jaded. Offense Mechanisms
is proud to present Bleach | Blackout by David S. Grant, two novels
about drugs, sex, revenge, the corporate crunch, and the inevitable unpleasantness
of life and death. Bleach and Blackout are presented here in
one double format (tête-bêche) volume.
BLEACH
opens during the last sixty seconds of 2003 in a bathroom where Jeremy, our
jaded navigator through the endless repulsiveness of the world, watches a
girl lay dying. Before diving into an explanation of what the hell is going
on, Jeremy doubles back eight days. The entire story builds up to the climax
of Sharon Winkler's infamous annual New Year's Eve party, where all the men
are dressed as prostitutes, all the women look like pimps, decadence and debauchery
dictate the rules, and the next guy through the door is sure to have a gun.
Written
in a cynical voice that rings true with today's young business class, Bleach
is a story that encompasses the sentiments of a generation while examining
the meaning of life in a world driven by greed.
BLACKOUT
begins in Las Vegas, where Stoner and friends celebrate his bachelor party
in a blur of strippers, crack cocaine, a little Thai, and Nic Cage. The next
morning in Los Angeles brings an unwelcome surprise when Stoner's friends
Chip and Jeremy wake to find police officers and a dead body for which they
are allegedly responsible. Chip is charged with murder and his trial is being
fast-tracked... What would Steven Tyler do?
Beneath
the stories of hangovers and death, this is a story about living for the moment
and having a story to tell. Blackout is a fast-paced ride that will
leave you wanting more—and maybe a cold beer.
