Sloughing Off the Rot edition by Lance Carbuncle Kelly Williams Literature Fiction eBooks

If Stephen King's DARK TOWER SERIES made sweet funky love to Cormac McCarthy's THE ROAD the bastard child that results would be Lance Carbuncle's SLOUGHING OFF THE ROT. Don't let the comparisons fool you though, this book is a very unique spirit. Carbuncle weaves horror, fairy tale, comedy and pop culture into a story about rehabilitation.

The writer has a knack for storytelling. This story depends on hiding the true intents of plot elements. I find a lot of stories can lose me when they try this tactic but this story keeps drawing you along while keeping you in the dark. The result is a wonderful and perfect ending.

This book also contains a villain who should be recognized as one of the all-time greats. Android Lovethorn rivals Darth Vader, Lord Voldemort or Randall Flagg as one bad mutha. Read this story for him alone.

If The Wizard of Oz got darker it would have become SLOUGHING OFF THE ROT. This story id a little bit of everything that most can relate too. It is above all smart and you can never go wrong with smart.

Sloughing Off the Rot edition by Lance Carbuncle Kelly Williams Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Wtf did I just listen to? This was one crazy ass ride down the El Camino de la Muerte. There were some truly gross out and laugh out loud moments for sure.

I would be lying if I said that this one didn’t lose me a couple of times while listening to it in the car, but I seemed able to recover and get back on board with little difficulty…for the most part. There was a whole lot of bizarro going on here. Possibly too much. I don’t even know if that is possible, but it felt like it.

The basic premise here was good and the story itself was written very well. Mr. Carbuncle definitely has skills. If I was more versed in the genre it may have clicked more for me, it just seemed to get a wee repetitive in theme in a few parts and may have been better served (for me) in a shorter format. 3.5 Stars! I will definitely keep an eye out for more from this author.

*I received a review copy of the audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review and this was it.
This is one hell of a fantasy adventure tale with plenty of beautifully crude humor, sex,
and mind-altering substances. On the flip side, it is also intelligent. There are strong
philosophical elements, soul searching and the quest for answers to life's big questions. The
combination of all of these elements worked very well together. I was grabbed immediately by
the humor and weirdness, but happy to stay for the richness and originality of what followed.
John dreams of a voice commanding him to walk 500 miles and to now refer to himself as John
the Revelator. He awakes in a cave with no idea where he is or who he used to be. He is instructed
to "polish the rod with aromatic balms and oils," the first of many scenes involving the unique use
of bodily fluids. His journey then begins. Leaving the cave, he hears an out of tune guitar being
played by a man named Santiago. Santiago speaks in riddles, odd sayings and song lyrics. This
is very irritating to John, who very quickly tires of the man, but needs him as a guide. They are off
to a rough start from the beginning. Santiago is one my my all time favorite characters and the
narrator in the audiobook does a great job portraying him.
John and Santiago must follow El Camino de la Muerte or the "Red Brick Road" until reaching
the villain Android Lovethorn. John must then force Lovethorn to send him back to his previous
life, which will not be an easy task. The voice of the burning bush feeds 'John bits and pieces of
information about the person he used to be and why he must redeem himself in this other world
along the way.
In all, this book was very easy to love. The characters and the surroundings they encounter are
oddly unique. Their often vulgar names and characteristics are sure to stick with me for a long
time. One last thought, If there really are beings called blumpkins I think I would go for a one night
stand or two if anyone knows where to get one.
I have read Mr. Carbuncles other books Smashed,Squashed,Splattered,Chewed,Chunked, and Spewed & Grundish and Askew, and enjoyed them immensely. This book was awesome if you liked the first two you'll find you won't want to put this one down.
This is an interesting journeying novel. It’s fable-like in some ways, but is more modern and irreverent in others. I enjoyed it.
For me, Sloughing Off the Rot was reminiscent of The Hike, but with more grit and gore. The characters were wild, the scene-setting was crazy and the story line was bonkers, but easy to follow. The protagonist John The Revelator's character development was essentially automatic because it was the central plot, but Carbuncle still did an excellent job with it. His imagination is just on another level. The book was so entertaining that I got through it in one day. The content is pretty graphic, but I expected that, so it wasn't an issue. Really, really good book.
This is a poignant tale for one who enjoys tongue-in-cheek humor sometimes in the most grotesque ways. Combine the Bible with the Wizard of Oz, toss in some zombie-like creatures and a person who realizes he must find redemption, goodness of human kind, and the ability to not only like himself but also forgive himself of his past transgressions (that he cannot rightly recall) all while his body is in a coma and you realize you are in for one helluva ride. Part nightmare and part acid trip, follow the red brick road to see where it leads.

I will be reading other books by this author!
Full disclosure I received an audiobook gift of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked the narrator. He was the perfect person for this book. He sounded really comfortable with saying some really ridiculous sentences.

This is more like the more absurdist version of bizarro. It's a very odd transformation journey with a cast of completely demented, weirdly and sometimes obscenely named characters. I enjoyed the deranged rhymes and alliterations. It was quite clever.
