SuperDrunk

by Craig Schrader

<p><b>Tom Brantley, aka SuperDrunk, is a complex superhero (or perhaps anti-hero?) who discovers that he has the unique power of psychokinesis whenever getting drunk or high.</b></p> <p>Revered as Burlington City's guardian, he loves to put on a show for his beloved fans when saving lives and fighting crime, almost as much as partying and fornicating. Despite the citizens egging on his reckless behavior, his family and friends worry about his failing health. With each alcohol-induced blackout, Tom revisits his high school years. He recalls meeting his first love, Amy Cougar, and how she couldn't handle his shallow celebrity lifestyle. But after consuming <i>psychedelics</i> - magic mushrooms, or "shrooms" - it seems like his past exists as an odd parallel reality to his present life.</p> <p>This sexy and thought-provoking dark superhero story takes readers over the edge and into the seedy world of SuperDrunk, where fighting bad guys and getting hot chicks might be nothing more than an escape for a washed-up loser trying to extricate himself from the realities of life.</p>
