Dear Reader, Love Josh Hickman

Dear Reader…

Hello, Hickmaniacs and future Hickmaniacs. If you are presently reading my newest comic novel The Kinfolk: Cult of Sex & Cheese, good for you! You have made a tremendously wise and discriminating choice in your literary matter, and a profoundly informed pick for your reading dollar. (We actually experimented with an edible, cheese-based book cover but were disappointed with the ammoniation and price point factors [not to mention spreadability.]) To those lucky ones who are at this very moment chortling their way through the lusty, mirthful pages, salud! Feel free to make good use of the detailed glossary in the back, which helps alleviate confusion in the vast cast of colorful, richly-textured, and eccentric characters. And to those intellectually voracious charmers out there about to pick up a copy of the book, I offer a few words of advice and wisdom. If you like cults and true crime, mixed with a heavy dash of surreal humor and absurdity, dusted with wry social commentary, subtly seasoned with a schtickle of dry darkness, and garnished with a dollop of deep, resonant introspection, then this literary odyssey is for you! Biker gangs, naughtiness, mesmerism, mozzarella, and madness eagerly await you with open arms. Don’t read it too fast (you might hurt yourself or a loved one) but refrain from reading it too slowly (side effects may result, such as aching sides, dizziness, euphoria, and “snackiness”). Listen for telling inconsistencies in cult leader Dillman “Papa Dilly” Bradford’s rants, keep an eye on rascally Cousin Rear, and bask in the unmitigated righteous indignation of helmet-haired investigative journalist Sandy Geistkopf. Blindly let yourself be seduced (but not too much) by the bold cheese worshipping and euphoric fervor of a wild cult as they follow their confident, unstable leader on an unsure path to (something like) enlightenment. Will they conquer and “Kinfolkate” the small, depressed, unwitting town of Lemon Curd, California? You just can’t wait to find out, can you? (Curiosity is contagious.) How did it all start, how does this mass madness ever begin? It’s all explained in sickening, hilarious detail. So, sit back, pour yourself a glass of credulity, and let yourself be absorbed into the seductive spell of The Kinfolk.

Love,

Josh Hickman

About the Author

Equally fascinated with horror movies, comedians, and true crime since early childhood, Josh Hickman spent equal time wading in the heady waters of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, the Three Stooges comedy shorts, and Helter Skelter while growing up in various parts of Texas. When he became a writer, Hickman incorporated his comedic sensibility and lifelong love of the horror and true crime genres into his satiric writings. His past comic novels also include the fictional comedy bio THROUGH TICK & TINN: THE TRUE STORY OF THE GREATEST UNKNOWN COMEDY TEAM EVER KNOWN and the illustrated surreal, cautionary high-seas treasure-hunt saga AMBERGRIS.

About the Book:

Hollywood Author Josh Hickman will release his latest brand of satirical, humorous books in mid-November. In the author’s new book, THE KINFOLK: CULT OF SEX AND CHEESE  he explores

the maddening world of cults.  Mr. Hickman’s new novel follows his last satirical fantasy book, FIVE SLICES OF FEAR, that has received much critical praise from book reviewers.

Hollywood writer Mr. Hickman releases his new book as the fourth in a fantasy book series he has created and published.  In THE KINFOLK: CULT OF SEX AND CHEESE he chronicles the rise and fall of a “seductive, fanatical cult” led by the enigmatic Dillman “Papa Dilly” Bradford.

With THE KINFOLK: CULT OF SEX AND CHEESE once again fact meets fiction in the funny fantasy worlds author Josh Hickman creates. This time his fascination with cults has produced a fresh, yet familiar cast of charlatans, rubes, losers, and lucky fools, finding laughs in the cult impulse, religious fervor, and the common pathos of the average person who will do anything to find solace and belonging. Once more, author Hickman focuses his gaze on tragic comedy that is human existence--with all its fears, pitfalls, trials, and triumphs--and again he speaks hilarious truth to power in his latest entry THE KINFOLK: CULT OF SEX AND CHEESE.

“For as long as I’ve read books I’ve always been a huge fan of comedic novels,” Hickman asserted. “It was time I decided to start expressing my own comedic side of creative writing.”
