​FREAKNEST 
novel by Lance Olsen
1-877655-35-X  (35-WC)
first trade edition, 6 X 9, 258 pgs.,
$12 plus s/h (U.S. only)

DESCRIPTION

Feral children. Illicit nano-drugs. False memories. Televisual consciousness. A Dickensian 2023 London in extremis. Just another day in Lance Olsen’s imagination.

PRAISE FOR ​FREAKNEST

A treat for anyone interested in the place of the human will in a society that seeks at every turn to remove and commodify our memories and selves, turning us all into isolated units locked inside a building, dreaming dreams that were, and never will be, truly ours”
— American Book Review

For all its surface weirdness, Freaknest is a naif’s tale, in the tradition of an innocent, orphaned Oliver Twist asking for a little more food/love/humanity while being brutalized by a world beyond his comprehension. Olsen is one of those rare birds who is both a lit professor and an honest-to-god writer.
— Richard Kadrey, Wired

In this disorienting maglev ride of a novel – imagine a multidimensional rail and an ever melting and self-reconfiguring train – a day-after-tomorrow world of great strangeness and cruelty comes striningly to life. Rykki is a character who will break your heart, even as you discover analogs for her in our present-day realities. In any case, take the ride and jolt your personal sensorium.
— Michael Bishop, Nebula Award winner
