Rampant Destruction is Funny Again, Thanks to Contemporary Press

Mike Segretto is known for being a writer who feels particularly at home in the moral void. His first novel for Contemporary Press, 2003's Dead Dog, is a withering blast of desert heat and pitch-black soul. But nothing prepares you for his second novel, How to Smash Everyone to Pieces, or as we like to call it around HQ, "Thank God I don't have to live inside his head." While Smash maybe a genre of one, it hits all the right spots hard and without remorse. It’s about taboo, desire, and the pure mayhem of every road trip that’s ever gone bad. Equal parts Wild at Heart, Candy and Hustler, Smash follows the manic and maniacal ex-stunt woman, serial killer, and champion wise-cracker Mary as she searches desperately for her one true love. Who that love is, and what happens on the way will hit funny bones and points south alike. If you want a review copy, contact us we might just send you one. Download PDF
