Tom Thumb is eighteen years old, three inches tall, and waist-deep in blood by page ten.
You think you know Tom Thumb-the pint-sized hero of English folklore, the daring little adventurer from bedtime stories and cartoon reruns. Well, forget all that. This ain't your granny's Tom Thumb. This is post-collapse, gutter-drenched, drug-fueled, mutant-ridden, sewer-sailing, donkey-chop-eating, dimension-warping madness.
In a City ruled by corruption, chaos, and a monstrous orange-skinned mayor named Ronald-a satirical fever dream of a certain political figure written before he ever slimed his way into the Oval Office-Tom is just trying to survive. But when you're three inches tall in a world full of murder-clowns, talking dumpsters, and flesh-melting narcotics, staying alive takes more than guts. It takes balls the size of peas and a mean left hook.
Tom's on a mission: take down Ronald, hijack the drug trade, and maybe-just maybe-figure out who (or what) Mr. God really is.
Think Trainspotting meets Labyrinth, if both were directed by David Cronenberg and rewritten by Hunter S. Thompson during a meth binge.
Will Tom make it out alive? Will anything make sense? Probably not. But it's gonna be beautiful, brutal, and batshit insane.
WARNING: Contains violence, profanity, mutants, mayhem, and tender donkey meat. Reader discretion is advised, but ultimately futile.
