Like Real

By Shelly Lyons

Book Overview

"A hilarious bizarroid science fiction horror thriller, with great vivid characters, crackling first-rate dialogue, nonstop momentum and unguessable plot twists galore. Rarely does a book make me laugh out loud this often, while keeping me engaged in the delirious drama unfolding."

-John Skipp, Wonderland Award winning author of Don't Push the Button

"Cyborgs, self-improvement, and the horrors of the LA dating scene collide in Like Real. A side-splitting, ass-kicking, and oddly tear-jerking good time."

-Brian Asman, author of Man, F*ck This House

In Shelly Lyons's debut novel, Like Real, Vic Moss-kenjutsu hobbyist and clueless Lothario-lets vanity dictate his decision to acquire an experimental new-tech prosthesis that promises to evolve into a seamless, realistic looking hand. Instead, it tears from his body, transforms into his clone, and pursues a relationship with the same woman Vic has in his crosshairs-forcing Vic to kill or be replaced.

This mind-bending body horror rom-com is a rollicking Cronenbergian gene splice of Idle Hands and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It's freaky. It's fun. It's LIKE REAL.
