For-Profit Fairy Tales

Brick & Mortar Messiah

​

In the year 2000, Keane McKay loses his job reporting on the hedonism of the San Francisco technology boom. He road trips to the Ozarks of Missouri to interview his favorite hip hop artist, Funk-d-King, who has taken a job as the spokesman for the largest, most controversial, brick & mortar retailer in the world. Along the way, Keane encounters old friends and new, in a dark quest to study the history and economics that led us down a path that is absolutely ripping the God damn soul of our country apart at its seams! But F*** all that, will Keane finally find out why his hometown idol moved to the middle of nowhere?

 

The pursuit of wealth and power creates myths and ghosts that become our history. Brick & Mortar Messiah is the first For-Profit Fairy Tale and the debut novel from Dan McGrath. Using these modern fables to understand the dark forces that have overtaken our world, perhaps we can discover a cure for the evils that plague us.
