Introduction

Hello, my name is Max Wilson, and I want to do what writers do. Just to give you all a bit of a preview; I am going to be writing on this blog about my various books and projects, as well as about the writing lifestyle in general, and do some typical journals and essays on a myriad of topics. My books and projects right now include:

Eating the Ram’s Head and Fig Leaf

A gonzo-noir, science fiction epic about the end of humanity. Much much much more will be written about this later.

Ram’s Head also has many stories within the story, sort of S. Morgansternish, but bigger. They include:

Hickory’s Eating the Ram’s Head: Man’s Journey against God

A hero’s journey story in the vein of traditional Greek mythology about the birth of humanity as a higher concept.

The Blessed Ego

This will be essentially me channeling Ayn Rand’s The Virtue of Selfishness. It’s a love letter to economic-conservatism, with some allusions to the fake author’s relationship with his dying wife and friends.

Mule

What I am sure of what this will be so far, is that is the first continuation of the original novel, will take place during the final hours of Earth, and not as in “OH NOES THE BOMB IS GONNA BLOW!!! RUN BOOMER!” more like there are only a handful of living organisms on Earth, and they’re just sort of hanging out, not really sure of what to do. It’ll be a lot more science-fictiony than the original book, sort of like Phillip K. Dick and Half Life, and it will be more bittersweet than Ram’s Head, in spite of the subject matter.

OUTSIDE OF THE RAM’S HEAD SAGA:

Detective Antipathy

This is a weird one. It’s a pulp-noir about a detective, and how he loses it, essentially. At first it’s very typical detective fiction about the pursuit of the Truth……then it takes a turn as that concept is tested by a force that exists and operates outside of the realms and rules of human knowledge.

A Powder Keg

A novella about a hyper conservative radio station in the 1930’s and its threatening downfall due to criminal charges, and a Johnny Carsonesque, late night variety show host who sets his sights to make fools of the popular station.

The Hell Baron

A dinner conversation between a Southern Baptist preacher, and a man he eventually discovers is the Devil.

That's all so far, I have another update on what I want this blog to be (and not be), soon. Thanks for reading :D
