The Perilous Awakening of Johnny Hazard

My book is officially being released this upcoming Saturday. I'm trying to accumulate as many advanced copy reviewers (and thus reviews) as I can. Obviously, earlier reviews are better, but since we're coming up on the release date, any reviews by the end of September would be great.

Synopsis: 1986--OSU assistant coach Johnny Hazard is a man who has everything: the woman of his dreams, a recently remodeled Dutch Colonial home, and a budding Benadryl habit. But when his wife, Janet, leaves him to "find herself," Johnny's Benadryl abuse grows out of control, and his nightmares follow him into the daylight. Reality melts, and he's introduced to the world behind the world, meeting a cast of wayward characters who know what he knows, and offer a safe harbor from the storm of his life. But Johnny craves terror, and his downward spiral tightens as he examines a growing sickness within society and himself.

The Perilous Awakening of Johnny Hazard is a deconstruction of the every man dedicated to the horrors of human existence, isolation, self-loathing, and everything we keep hidden. The supernatural terrors that haunt his step mirror his internal struggles. Watch a human dumpster fire in action.

Note: Some readers may find the content matter to be spicy or shocking, but it isn't gratuitous or gory, and nothing in it is done for shock's sake. Our main character's actions are symptomatic of his emotional illiteracy and desperate need for a genuine connection as his life implodes and his inner demons come home to roost. Mental health, sexuality, gender-identity, codependency, and loneliness are all themes. Even the impacts of Reaganism are briefly examined.

Content Warnings: Some (Non-Graphic) Sex, Swearing, Drug Use, Addiction, Brief Mention of Suicide
