DRINK UP WITH THE DREAMERS, THE DESPERATE, AND THE DAMNED Welcome to The Liz: a legendary Oakland punk bar with a fiercely loyal clientele of skull-cracked musicians, aspiring comedians, fans, hangers-on, and vampires. Learn its sordid history; set some banks on fire; skirt a little too close to radical new film technology; volunteer for experiments that make you physically crave art- and the people who make it; and hear the joke that kills every cop who hears it (don' t worry, you'll be fine, we think). Author & comedian Allison Mick guides you through interconnected horror stories alternately gross, funny, and heartbreaking, and shows you why every story in The Liz makes a killing.
"What the hell is going on at the New Liz? Brundlefly transformations, psychotic kids, vampires, and the dankest, crunkest, grungiest crustpunk scene vibes you ever felt! A vivid, nasty trip so dank that you'll feel like you're snorting blow off the seat of the men's room toilet (complimentary)."

"Mick balances horror and humor brilliantly in this bold novel that asks big questions about our relationship to the natural world. You will never see forests the same way again after reading it."
