Vulgarity For The Masses by J.S. Lawhead
Story Hightlights:
The Whale Story - Well-intentioned, apocalyptic adventurer Meteo Xavier seeks the rare Blue Whale and ends up fighting for his life in a litigious, courtroom battle that threatens to annihilate the human condition as we know it.
On a Sunday Afternoon, This Happened - A crack-addicted, alcoholic, pothead on the rag tries to rob two banks on Sunday and defies the gods, the universe, the laws of nature regarding drug use and teleportation, a rival crook, and a large guardian sphincter on his quest to repay a drug debt to a holiday icon.
Aurora Terminus - A horrible tragedy marks the symbolic end of the British Empire for two aristocratic men (animals, actually) as their friend is betrayed and murdered by Lady Britannia herself; forcing the two to take revenge for whats left of their country's dignity and the pride of being British. (Inspired by Genesis' Selling England By the Pound)
The Wisdom of My Father - A first person memoir of the narrator's father and the usual father-son adventures through life that all of us go through - like getting gang-raped in Atlanta, building a guitar out of a fish, taking the heat for a Mexican drug deal gone bad and exploding your bowels on live TV.
The White Screamer (Three Incidents) - Across the generations in Tennessee, an unfathomable evil grows stronger as it absorbs innocent men and women in an eternal, soulthirsty mission to cleanse the lands and history from the white man's influence.
The Book of the Three Little Pigs (Bible Version) - Exactly what it says it is.
HOPEBLISS - A two-headed boy meets a woman with no head (and unprovoked antagonism against Jesus for some reason) and offers to exchange heads with her so she can go about her life, but the results become disastrous and incomprehensible.
Ouroborus - A bizarre, ancient phenomenon grips the mountains of Tennessee and slowly wraps two students from a secluded academy into a spiraling conspiracy to keep the world hidden from God's influence and lock the human condition into a cold world of icy logic.
The Feast of 1000 Famines - Meteo Xavier returns to bookend the book for a date, a charity event and an assassination/vengeance plot all gone horribly wrong. Book ends on a relatively positive note, readers are satisfied, they recommend it to their friends, and life continues on as it should until the sun swallows the planet whole and everything we have lived and died for vanishes in a layer of chromosphere.

The revolution of re-evolution
begins now!
When the dust settled over the world at large, the people sat down to rest the billions of aching feet and hands and breasts and necks that had crawled over the cracking crust. Vulgarity was the shepherd to drive the sheep to the new Word. The masses were given a break only in jest; a cruel temptation for a new life of endless marching over the red crestfallen streets toward the Zealot's Zenith, far, far below.
"Desperate times call for desperate pleasures..." slithered the vulgar lips of the shepherd as his sermon droned on. This sermon in the pit would go on to become the Lead Rule for all the dark forces, who conspired to hide the world that God created from his prying eyes, to follow as they go out to twist the rock that gave us life.
But as these fiends left to do their work, the shepherd was left by himself. As he went on and on, preaching the Word of Vulgarity for the masses, he learned all too late that his Word was not breaking their spirits; it was making them stronger. His words were attaching to the parts of their being that speak to the evils of men; the parts that could not be broken, no matter what. The people became vulgar and found a way to lust for the darkness the shepherd had put in their hearts. Desperate times called for desperate pleasures, and they took great pleasure in devouring the mad zealot right then and there.
Naturally, this is not the end of the story here; it only slightly resembles a beginning. A whole history of madness and struggle lie ahead for the disfigured children of Adam. An entire world had to be taken back, piece by piece, blood for blood, until all debts were paid with a river of carnage and supernal extirpation.
