Guy Psycho and the Postmodernaires don’t have the credit to outlast the week when an enigmatic billionaire offers them five million dollars for a private performance of their lounge act.

Somehow, that performance includes re-enacting an ancient Assyrian epic deep inside a mountain in Tennessee, in the sub-basement of a mountainside mansion that leads all the way to ancient Mesopotamia.

To escape, Guy and his bandmates must retrieve a rumored thirteenth tablet of Gilgamesh. If they don’t, they can’t spend the five million, and worse, they’ll be 5,000 years early for their gig at the Sabre Room.

Industry Reviews

Boozy, big-hearted, and insanely psychedelic, Guy Psycho and the Ziggurat of Shame is the perfect debut for that literary rock star, John King.

—Maya Sloan, author of High Before Homeroom and co-author of The Rich Kids of Instagram: The Novel.

“John King is brilliant, and Guy Psycho and the Ziggurat of Shame is fizzing proof of that: totally original, hilarious, thrilling, and flat-out fun.”

—Darin Strauss, author of Chang and Eng, The Real McCoy, More Than It Hurts You, and Half a Life.

Guy Psycho and the Ziggurat of Shame is searingly honest, cutthroat, and extremely readable. It zigs when you expect it to zag. It deflates when you expect it to pop. It curdles when you expect it to stay fresh for another couple days until you get the chance to get to the grocery store. It makes demands on its readers, and if it finds you lacking, it shuts like a bear-trap on your hands, and the more you try to squirm away, the deeper the teeth sink into your arms. Guy Psycho and the Ziggurat of Shame clamps down so hard on you that you’ll probably lose your hands, and it doesn’t even apologize.

—Tom McAllister, co-host of Book Fight, author of How to Be Safe, The Young Widower’s Handbook, and Bury Me in My Jersey
