MOTION PICTURE! Victor Gischler’s legendary first novel,

after him with everything they’ve got. No one’s quicker on the
trigger than Charlie Swift – but is Charlie fast enough to get
himself out alive…? Now a major motion picture starring Pierce
Brosnan, Morena Baccarin, and (in his final role) James Caan, FAST
CHARLIE is a breathless, top-velocity tale of treachery, taxidermy,
and family ties.

Just as Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse was a "raucous thrill ride"
(Publishers Weekly) and a playful stab at the post-apocalypse
story, Vampire a Go-Go is a satirical take on the modern horror
story--providing more laughs and unforgettable characters.
Victor Gischler is a master of the class-act literary spoof--a
unique niche in which he has few equals. He has tackled many
popular genres with his wry wit: crime noir, the post-apocalyptic
subgenre, and now the horror novel genre. Frequently compared to
Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon, and Quentin Tarantino, Gischler
turns his attention to castles, astrologers, alchemists, ghosts,
witches, gun-toting Jesuit priests, and werewolves with Vampire a
Go-Go, a hilarious romp of spooky, gothic entertainment. Allen is a
hapless grad student in trouble. He's about to flunk out of school
and there is not much that can be done to salvage his GPA--except
to redeem himself by accompanying an eccentric professor and his
enigmatic wife on a research trip to a castle in Prague. But Allen
doesn't know he'll end up in a hunt for a supernatural device that
can restore the humanity to the undead. Narrated by a ghost whose
spirit is chained to the mysterious castle, Vampire a Go-Go is full
of twists and surprises that will have readers screaming--and
laughing--for more.
Mortimer Tate was a recently divorced insurance salesman when he
holed up in a cave on top of a mountain in Tennessee and rode out
the end of the world. "Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse" begins nine
years later, when he emerges into a bizarre landscape filled with
hollow reminders of an America that no longer exists. The highways
are lined with abandoned automobiles; electricity is generated by
indentured servants pedaling stationary bicycles. What little
civilization remains revolves around Joey Armageddon's Sassy
A-Go-Go strip clubs, where the beer is cold, the lap dancers are
hot, and the bouncers are armed with M16s. Accompanied by his
cowboy sidekick Buffalo Bill, the gorgeous stripper Sheila, and the
mountain man Ted, Mortimer journeys to the lost city of Atlanta --
and a showdown that might determine the fate of humanity.
