Fiction
In this hilarious, frenetic, adrenalin-charged debut, Rayo
Casablanca does for modern day Williamsburg, Brooklyn, what
Bret Easton Ellis's Less than Zero did for '80s L.A.--but
with a knowing grin and a far cooler soundtrack... Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is the center of the hipster
universe, and the members of the Whole Sick Crew are its
shining stars. The gang includes Wolfgang, a heavy metal
musician and high school guidance counselor who supplies
coke to his charges; Rad, a doctor obsessed with obscure new
wave songs who has a bad habit of cutting himself when he's
stressed; Beth Ann, the neighborhood's queen knitter who's
slowly going blind and Harrison, a museum curator
moonlighting as a writer of highly prized porn. Collectively, they're the arbiters of taste for every
vinyl-loving, Gap-spurning, thrift store regular in town.
But lately someone has been laying waste to Brooklyn's
uber-hipsters, dispatching them in gruesome fashion. The
cops are dragging their heels, but the Whole Sick Crew knows
that a serial killer dubbed Doctor Jeep is responsible. They
have a plan to stop him and it's about to go spectacularly
awry. Before the week is over, they'll be up to their
skinny-jeaned waists in mayhem, manipulation, contract
killers, raw sewage, and murderous monkeys. Something is rotten in the state of Billyburg, and the last
hipsters standing will discover just how rotten it really is...
