Sauced Up, Scarred and at Sleaze

De: G.C. McKay

Narrado por: G.C. McKay

Sauced Up

• A slang (or 'colloquial' for the more literary-minded) term for being drunk or high on illegal drugs, which many of the characters either are or wish to be.
• Also hinting at the 'saucy' and transgressive elements that fuel each story.
• Think smashed, horny, and shitfaced.

Scarred

• An insinuation in regards to the emotional state of the personas portrayed.
• An ill-intentioned wink towards the debauched and defaced world they inhabit.
• Think distressed, damage, and, perhaps most potently, disturbed.

At Sleaze

• A cheekily-natured play on the phrase 'at ease' as some of the players involved are comfortable with their moral degradation, whilst this book celebrates it.
• A warning towards the faint of heart, readers of a sensitive disposition and pusscakes.
• Think immoral, smutty, and sordid.

Sauced Up, Scarred and at Sleaze

• A collection of eight short stories and novelettes, split right down the middle. Contains themes of drug and alcohol abuse, promiscuous behavior, nihilism and traumatizing coming of age lessons. In other words, 'Existential Porn.'
• A salacious anthology of dank, transgressive tales so full of sin you'll wonder how the hell the author stayed alive long enough to write them.
• Think: Why am I not reading this right now? Who the f--k puts bullet points on a fiction book? And did this blurb just call me a Pusscake?

Excellent piece. A bit like a British Easton Ellis

I like GC. Mckay's work. I am familiar with him from his reviews on youtube and then noticed he also writes. His characterization is good and the stories memorable. These stories follow different characters hedonistic, existential, and nihilistic foray into trying to experience life. He reminds me a less pretentious Bret Easton Ellis and his stories make me recall Rules Of Attraction and Less Than Zero.
