Untamed

Jack Grisham's Untamed is a mission upriver in search of the hardcore heart of darkness. Jack's delivery is honest, straight ahead, in your face and in your gut, taking no prisoners in the process. Frightening, fantastic, and funny as hell, herein exists a violent rush of talking animals, street devils, and fetish angels twisting with elements of a brawling Charles Bukowski, the macabre sensibility of Edgar Allen Poe, and a dash of the dystopian Ray Bradbury. A blue-collar Twilight Zone straight out of Jack's imagination, Untamed is a journey into another dimension, built on fear and anger, lost in love and sadness, hanging onto threads of redemption at the end. Narratives and images that are bold and graphic, at times coalescing into surreal Odd Nerdrum fairytales. Tales cast with characters that are constant and clear, resulting in a collection of stories that place the reader inside each one, like a series of cinematic shorts, each unique world being viewed through the peep show lens of Quentin Tarantino or Frank Miller. S.A. Griffin from his Introduction. Author of Dreams Gone Mad With Hope, editor of Outlaw Bible of American Poetry.
