Rockabilly
When a meteor crashes into greaser Rockabilly’s backyard, a ripple of strange events ensues. The tattoo of a pin-up girl on his back comes to life and begins to exert her murderous control over the suburb in which he lives. His precocious teenage neighbour, Suicide Girl, begins spontaneously lactating, and her pet lizard goes missing. A disturbed neighbour begins to pace the block to quiet his unseemly thoughts. Meanwhile, the neighbourhood dog, Bones, suddenly able to think human thoughts, begins to hatch a plan.
With economic language and well-crafted timing, Rockabilly leads us on a hair-raising journey, artfully deconstructing archetypes of suburban America. Taking us past garish lights of strip malls and empty strips of desert, this dystopian novel presents a unique take on trash aesthetics, the philosophy of tattoo art, and American pop culture.
