Searing, troubling, and memorable, these revolutionary, linked short stories flit and dart among the shadows of small town life. Employees use roadkill instead of faux pelts during a demented build-a-critter battle for store supremacy. Former band geeks are harassed with mutilated musical instruments and then murdered. The author weaves the haunting tale of a fatal cannonball jump into a lake throughout the stories, which climaxes in an explosive final tale. An extraordinary addition to the canon of gonzo fiction, Congratulations on Your Martyrdom! introduces Zack Tyler Vickers, an exciting new author whose unflinching prose grabs you and won’t let go.
