This podcast contains 4 Complete Novels - Manicured lawns (and rehab), domestic bliss (and domestic violence), golf clubs (and strip clubs)--welcome to suburbia, circa right now! A series of novels featuring the same cast of characters, Suburban Sprawl is one scoop erotica, one scoop murder mystery and one scoop ghost story, with a generous dollop of wicked satire. Set in a surreal landscape in transition--where mega-malls and McMansions sprout cheek-to-jowl with redneck bars and strip clubs--and populated by characters consumed with unintentionally hilarious self-involvement, it all begins with The Liar's Guide, an erotic ghost story and murder mystery about the quirky human need to keep secrets--and the delight some people take in creating multiple lives. Handsome Jack Marin hires ex-stripper Laura, and his jilted mistress and passive-aggressive wife set out to create the perfect soccer mom murder plot. Staking out Laura's house, one brings home-baked cupcakes; the other brings a Glock. Follow the same cast of characters in The Chilling Effect, the second volume in Suburban Sprawl. And the chaos continues with Owning Betty, a story about erotic obsession set in a claustrophobic winter of recurring ice storms. Next is The Suicide Tour--and Suburban Sprawl continues!
