Adrift Just East of Denver

By Mark Barsotti

"A supremely sleazy and adroitly suspenseful thriller... The 1980's pop-culture ambiance and the regional charms and pitfalls of Denver are meticulously recreated, and Barsotti keeps the accelerator to the floorboards for the whole nasty ride."
- Paul Di Filippo, award-winning author of The Big Get Even, The Steampunk Trilogy and others.

WHAT IF SUMMER VACATION. . .

Summer, 1986. Small town teen Adam Freeman is off to visit his big brother for a month of fun and adventure in the big city. Initially shocked to learn brother Dave is a stripper, Adam soon gets a crash course in the hog-trough decadence of the "greed is good" 1980s.

BECOMES SUMMER DAMNATION?

But everything comes with a price. Within a few weeks, Adam is on the verge of losing his girlfriend, his sense of identity and - maybe even his life.

"It's dark, but don't get fooled - there are tons of great lines and laugh-out loud moments. . . a page turning thriller with sharp, well-crafted prose and tough decisions. . . Highly recommended."
- Steve Rodgers, author of the Spellgiver series

The novel contains drug and alcohol use, casual sex, obnoxious rock and roll, smoking, pornography, ecdysiasts and sexual violence, just like real life. You've been trigger-warned.
