Book Description
When Abel learns that his favorite uncle has died, he and his cousin, Ken, plan to meet at a convenience store the next morning to travel the five hundred and fifty miles to the funeral together. But just as Abel realizes Ken is a no show, a stranger opens his car door and plants himself in the passenger seat. It seems that fate has dropped Mike right into Abels life, whether he likes it or not. But when Abel decides to give Mike a ride, he has no idea that the stranger is about to turn the trip into a nightmare. Mike is an arrogant control freak who seems to cause extraordinary things to happen. While he tells frightening tales about hitchhikers and deaths on the highways, Abel must summon false courage to survive the day. Mike has seen a man determine the fate of a passenger bus and people die in mysterious ways. He has slept in unusual places and met a family that refused to die. But it is not until Abel is led to a graveyard where he must unveil his fathers humongous tombstone that he is finally forced to face the brutal reality of his existence. Tombstone Blues shares the gripping tale of an unstable mans convoluted journey of self-discovery as a road trip transforms into a haunting roller coaster of horror and death.

Wicked Messenger
Author: Mike Marqusee
Publisher: Seven Stories Press
ISBN: 1609801156
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Bob Dylan’s abrupt abandonment of overtly political songwriting in the mid-1960s caused an uproar among critics and fans. In Wicked Messenger, acclaimed cultural-political commentator Mike Marqusee advances the new thesis that Dylan did not drop politics from his songs but changed the manner of his critique to address the changing political and cultural climate and, more importantly, his own evolving aesthetic. Wicked Messenger is also a riveting political history of the United States in the 1960s. Tracing the development of the decade’s political and cultural dissent movements, Marqusee shows how their twists and turns were anticipated in the poetic aesthetic—anarchic, unaccountable, contradictory, punk— of Dylan's mid-sixties albums, as well as in his recent artistic ventures in Chronicles, Vol. I and Masked and Anonymous. Dylan’s anguished, self-obsessed, prickly artistic evolution, Marqusee asserts, was a deeply creative response to a deeply disturbing situation. "He can no longer tell the story straight," Marqusee concludes, "because any story told straight is a false one."
