This isn't your typical war story. It's what happens after.
Charlie Fowle-veteran, sex shop owner, and reluctant icon of dissent-is buried alive, tripping on industrial-grade blotter acid, surrounded by the corpses of the only people who ever understood him.
Above him, a militia of disenfranchised veterans prepares to launch Operation: Flying Dildo-a scorched-earth protest against the war machine that left them behind.
As Charlie spirals through psychedelic visions and fractured memories, we're pulled into the moments that led him here: a terminal diagnosis, a pornographic protest, a love affair with the enigmatic Ryan Blake, and a long-overdue reckoning with masculinity, mortality, and the quiet epidemic of veteran suicide. Haunting him is Miss Roswell-a Martian goddess and cosmic mirror of everything he's lost and everything he still hopes to reclaim.
Darkly comic, brutally honest, and soaked in surrealism, Surf the Dead is a fever-dream manifesto about survival, identity, and what it means to come home when nothing feels like home anymore.
If you liked Fight Club, A Little Life, or Slaughterhouse-Five, this one's for you.
Buy now and dive into the chaos.
