The Merry Pranksters

By Mike Black

After a viral video catapults the Merry Pranksters to unexpected fame, St. Louis' most dangerous band is thrust into the spotlight of a cultural tsunami. In the thick of the chaos, Alfie Schultz, the band's reality-fluid guitar prodigy, receives a mysterious warning from a prophetic gypsy about a looming mythical dragon. Now, with the pressure mounting and their Halloween gig quickly approaching, Alfie must channel his schizophrenic intuition to decipher the cryptic message before it's too late.

A deadly string of drug deals.

A junkie girlfriend and a hot-tempered stalker.

A sleazy cover band nipping at their heels,

and an Irish drug-lord out for vengeance.

Narrated through the filter of Schultz's kaleidoscope mind, this electrifying tale follows the bad boys from the River City as they grapple with the intoxicating allure of fame amid a world gagging for their boozy brand of chaos. As his rock 'n' roll fantasies blur the lines between reality and delusion, and the rest of the Merry Pranksters chasing their own addictive dragons, Schultz must harness his blessed bane in order to steer the band through this storm. But as danger lurks ever closer, Schultz must confront whether he can trust his band-or his own mind-to make sense of the danger they appear to be in.
