Get It Now Party At The World’s End Formulated By James Curcio Released Through EPub

Incisive Satire on the State of America FIVE GLOWING STARS

This eticket ride, so strap in tight, get a snack and a bottle of your favorite beverage.
You will be here until you finish this satirical, surreal, sexy, subversive novel, Reality is simply squishy. Identity rises from dreams, contact with enlightened entities, visions, sense memories and similar, Action is unpredictable. Whether two fallen gods boost a car, big pharma causes kids to become suicide bombers, instantaneous orgies or a hello kitty flash drive goes missing worth billions, it all makes perfect sense at the time.
The satire is fast and biting if you understand the underlying references to history, religion, literature, philosophy, psychiatry and mythology.
I enjoyed it immensely. Read it cover to cover in one go, I will now read it a second time to catch anything I missed in my excitement the first time through.


James Curcio is a master of satire it's too bad everyone missed it, Like Jonathan Swift, Curcio uses a scalpel to slice directly into the jugular of his targets: no prisoners taken, no quarter given.
Unlike Swift, there is no way you could censor this and make it a children's book: the experience is too surreal, too deep, too much sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, and too much egregious violence.


James Curcio has created a wonderfully insightful satire based on the state of American government, big business and the CIA, NSA, law enforcement and black ops pitted against fallen gods, underground counterculture, the enlightened and groupies using myth, religion, rock 'n roll, pagan rites, philosophy, black magic, the mob, and pop culture along with technology and terrorist practices to flip the bird at everything and everyone that is wrong in America.


The story is almost a modern version of a Shakespearean tragedy, Instead of royalty, he has brought in the Fallen, The predestination, the doom, the innocent characters dragged under, It's all there. We even have what equates to the three witches, but in drastically different guise,

Anyway, WWWIII has already happened, Your choice is to be a happy droid, or be watched, surveilled and possibly arrested as a potential terrorist for being different.
Full access to all citizen communications by the government is standard,

When a hive mind prank at a mall backfires, a group of our protagonists are manhandled by a SWAT team, arrested for terrorism, taken into Federal custody and questioned for hours.
The event, along with the arrests and their names were televised before it was determined they were guilty,

The upshot: considering what the pranksters were doing and the cobbled together equipment they had, it could be nothing other than a prank, BUT the government believed they were terrorizing people.
The government released the pranksters, but put them under surveillance and branded them terrorists, The public perception was never corrected, so many of our protagonists lost their jobs, Outcome: negative.

The end result was to turn what was once cavalier, resolute, The apes would pay.

This is a war of Leviathin versus Lillith, the Whore of Babylon, It is Enlightened versus Blind, It is Establishment versus Counterculture, Would America divide in a Civil War of violence, ideas, ideals and lifestyles led by a bunch of drug taking, genuislevel, counterculture loners Could they actually do something as a group without over thinking every last detail Who would lead when every ego demanded recognition Something had to change to make this a reality.


Change happens to drive the story fromtomph into something like a cross between Carl Jung on Mushrooms reading the Book of Revelation and Bullfinch's Mythology driven by the plot of a Quentin Tarantino movie.
That may sound abstruse, but the aha will come when you read it,

This book must be experienced to be believed, You can read it as a serious New Age, apocalyptic novel, or for the amazingly intelligent, viciously insightful satire that it was intended.


IF you appreciate satire AND have at least a cursory knowledge of mythology, philosophy and religion, The Book of Revelation and various reincarnation beliefs THEN you should ADORE this novel.


BRAVO Mr. Curcio! I have added you to my list of favorite authors, When is the next book due

Highly Recommended! I have to admit, I was lost throughout most of this book, probably because I had to keep putting it down to do other stuff.
Time jumps around, characters get mixed up, schemes are laid out with the fuzziest of details, etc, This book is heavy on texture and is extremely surreal, so if you need your hand held as you march through a story, you will probably not dig this one.


I actually loved the texture, It reminded me a lot of alt comics, And the story did you read House of Leaves If so, you know those side stories written in the footnotes, the ones where characters have encounters with mysterious "others" that may or may not be completely human and may or may not be evil This book feels like it could be the "others'" story, or something similar to it.
There's a definite MZD vibe here, Some awesome sexy/creepy stuff goes down, and in the end it all adds up to a lot of coolness that may require some effort to work through but IMO pays off.
I can't say I completely understand the underlying message here a statement about religion, I'm guessing but that's okay.
I enjoyed the ride, and that's what counts,

I received this book as a Goodreads Giveaway in exchange for an honest review, I honestly think Mr. Curcio has an amazing imagination and I'm supremely jealous of his talent, Abandoned ship at

Have I mentioned that I hate leaving things unfinished Even if I don't love a book, I will try to see it through to the end.
The exception being quite a few things that I had to read in college, In an ideal world, I would have finishedof my assigned reading, cause I'm a big nerd,

This I admit defeat. Book, you win. You have defeated me. Party at the World's End was supposed to be "Brutal, darkly funny, and, above all, honest, " Powell's Books 'Short List. ' That was the quote that sold me on it! Well,





This was pretentious and boring, You want to be trippy and weird I am all aboard, but there has to be something holding all that weird shit together.
Every chapter was like a never ending acid trip, There needed to be a pizza chapter somewhere! Give us some damn carbs, some kind of fuel for all that weirdness!

I can't even give a shit about the characters or the story.
I didn't get invested. Maybe this is someone's cup of tea or maybe if I get really drunk some night this would be fun, and possibly a little scary.
But for now, it's a solid no,

A big thank you to Goodreads for providing me with a free copy to read and review! This is a reboot of the original novel, Fallen Nation: Babylon Burning.
Extensively revised and reimagined, this book offers tighter writing, absurdity and the inevitability of change in one small dystopian package.

This Book Was Given To Me By The Author In Exchange For An Honest .


Take a mad ride past the event horizon of sanity with the band Babylon, in the final days of the American Empire.
First in the occult punk, myth and fairytale laced transmedia series, the Fallen Cycle, Get on the roller coaster, strap yourself in and prepare for a wild ride, I felt like I stepped into a adult comic book while reading this book,

James Curcio did a great job of interweaving the chapters to take you deep into a fantasy, mythological story.
There were times I started a chapter and I was like what is going on but within a few sentences you knew what direction he was headed.
The characters weave a delicate web of past and present which includes dreams and wild hallucinations, They set out on pranks that are considered terrorism and end up in a mental hospital, They break free and the wild ride continues, You never really know the characters background but Mr, Curcio does a great job of involving them in the story, Each has there own dreams, This story is truly a work of art in that some chapters are so descriptive they are almost poetic and then the next chapter is so chaotic that you feel like you are dreaming but the author makes it work and makes it all come together.


So here is my disclaimer, I have read fantasy/dystopian but this book took me out of my comfort zone of dystopian, At times he made my head spin and made me say what the he!!, But in the end as I said it fit and as I turned the last page I truly felt like I was claiming out of an adult comic book.
If you have not read or are not a fan of fantasy/dystopian this might not be the book to "cut your teeth on" but if you truly want a wild ride then take a look into the mad world of James Curcio's books.

com/NerdGirl. ng What if Spring Breakers was a trying to teach the last secret of the Illuminati by way of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas That's more or less the game here.


The overarching plot is about some escaped mental patients who meet up with a hot chick and decide to start a band to overthrow the government and probably god also.


Well worth the time, In these days of ebooks, it makes a refreshing change for me, at least to find a book that really benefits from the medium of print.
This isn't a collection of short stories, It's not a nice sequential comic book, It's a lovingly produced piece of art using the medium of the book, designed to make use of lush double page spreads and simultaneously assault and seduce the reader viewer with the combination of words and images.


The range of styles is what makes Words of Traitors so intriguing: there's line art, photography, collage, drawing, and painting.
Even the typefaces vary through the book, carefully chosen to carry more meaning than you'd get with just a standard font.


And the stories Let's just say they pull no punches, If you've read any of Curcio's work before, you'll know what to expect triumph through degradation and misfortune, brutal honesty, and a flagrant disregard for social taboos and norms.
If you like authors such as D, R. Haney, Kerouac, and HST, then you'll find Curcio's uncompromising style speaks to you, Personally, I find that when extended to novel length, it loses impact, but in the shorter format, it's powerful and poignant.
In combination with the rich, multilayered artwork and typography, Curcio's prose works perfectly, I don't like all the stories on first reading, but I suspect this is a book I'll revisit occasionally, and find that each one is waiting for the right time to speak to me.
Wow is my one word for this stunning novel, I give it four mainly because it's a little rough, typos and just a few rough edges to make it not perfect, but what book is really perfect, right

Let's get to the good stuff.
James Curcio is an outstanding author, This book is a modernday crusade against, well you fill in the blank, Comparable to masterpieces dealing with matters of the mind as Pink Floyd's The Wall, Curcio's book hops heads effortlessly, taking the reader into deeper waters, weaving in mythological lore applied to today's society.
The plot itself is fairly straight forward, mixed in with a dose of insanity, but is it really a diverse cast of characters, and lots of toecurling sexy scenes.
Add in a bigbang of an ending in this quick read and you have what amounts to a fine piece of independent literature.


But don't take my word for it, . . check it out yourself. .
