What We Mean by Yesterday: Vol. 1

The story of a man driven to the edge -- and beyond -- by the world around him. But if he's the good guy, then who is the bad guy?

Publisher Marketing: Flows so quickly I inhaled it in one sitting. Very funny and also cathartic. What happens if your day goes to shit and you just roll with it and be shitty too?--Robin McConnell "Inkstuds" Review Quotes : An occasionally shocking, sometimes nightmarish, completely unpredictable satire of modern masculinity.-- "Library Journal Starred Review" Review Quotes : The art is fast and loose, [with] enough characterization that the reader is made to care about Bruce's slide into the rabbit hole, and more than enough antagonists to keep the story flowing nicely from page to page.-- "Cinema Sentries" Review Quotes : A deliriously scuzzy wild ride, this will appeal to fans of the transgressive absurdism of Johnny Ryan or Yoshikazu Ebisu.-- "Publishers Weekly" Publisher Marketing : Bruce Barnes is a schoolteacher having yet another shit day. His students are a disrespectful nightmare, gleefully relishing the misery they put him through. But today is even worse than usual, and after a particularly grim run-in with a student, he heads to the break room to bum a smoke off another member of the faculty. After lighting up, he's told the cigarette is laced with amphetamines. From there, Bruce rides his "rage snake" from the classroom to the ends of the cosmos and back -- fighting, fucking, shooting, racing, and tripping his way from one impulsive move to the next. Reminiscent of films like Falling Down and shows like Breaking Bad , What We Mean By Yesterday is a black comedy descent into madness, a revenge horror/fantasy that gives new meaning to the phrase "bad trip."
