DangerRAMA eBook Danger Slater Arthur Graham
The latest from Danger Slater is a trio of novellas, each a solid bizarro effort, but each a bit different in genre. This basically means there's something for everyone here, especially if you're a fan of sick and twisted writing that combines strong storytelling genius with walking penises and homosexual Will Smiths. Each of the three novellas would have stood on its own, and could have been published individually at the same price, if you cranked up the font and margins and filled the back of the book with 32 pages of ads, which is what would have happened with other publishers. So it's nice that Rooster Republic is essentially giving you three times the entertainment value, packed in at the same price.Okay, so the first novella, "Knights of the White Castle" has a hint of science fiction in the form of a crazy scientist screwing around with time travel, but it has a strong fantasy bent, which happens when a many-holed hamburger joint zaps back to the medieval era. I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of fantasy, and most tales of dragons and knights bore me, but he keeps it hilarious as he drags you down this rabbit hole of trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
The second novella is probably my favorite, "Somnambulant." Here he plays with conventional storytelling narrative with a strong nonlinear plot having to do with a guy who can't sleep. But it's a little more complicated than that, and weaves together this crazy tale having to do with painting theft, the aforementioned gay Will Smith, suicide bombing, a sort of The Gods Must Be Crazy subplot, and that lack of sleep. It takes a bit to figure out how the pieces of the plot go together, but they do, and the payoff is big. It's hard to walk through the whole thing without major spoilers, but like I said, this was my favorite of the book.
The final piece, "Me & Me & Me & Me & Me & Me & Me & Me" has a much stronger science fiction bent, the classic tale of sending an explorer into deep space and having things go amuck, the basic setup of dozens of classic Twilight Zone plots. This story starts with a strong theme about the destruction of this planet by our culture of excess, and the alienation and lack of identity with a person who is purposely given the burden of not reversing the damage or fixing things, but simply offshoring the whole mess to another virgin planet to keep the party going there. But this Rod Serling is on a heavy dose of peyote, and goes into a sordid tale of a cloning machine gone wrong. It's an interesting end to the book (and I wonder if the order was juggled at the last minute, based on the cover art) but it's a good choice to wrap up the trio.
The writing here is imaginative and straight-up bizarro, a good melding of very complete and rewarding plot mixed with absurd elements and grotesque mashings of culture and abnormality. It's all very solid writing, and also edited well, which is a rarity in the bizarro world, but both the author and Rooster Republic put out a good product here. The cover art is also pretty amazing here - very colorful and pro looking, and I like how all three novellas are depicted with a slight hint to classic pulp scifi covers. I haven't read any of Danger's other stuff, but this book made me want to dig into his previous work.
My only criticism is the nom de plume of "Danger" which is used to conceal that the author's given first name is Urkel. I understand the confusion that would result between him and Steve Urkel, but I think the work is strong enough that he can probably go back to using his actual birth name.
I did not get this book free for review. I probably could have, but I chose to buy it. You should too.

DangerRAMA eBook Danger Slater Arthur Graham Reviews
The problem with all the stories in this 3-novella collection (although since Slater writes such short chapters, it's arguable whether they are even novellas) is that they start promising, but end up so bizarro that they border on the silly or dumb. I really liked where both "Me & Me..." and "Knights of the White Castle" were going, but at some point they take a turn and it's like a 6th grader took over the writing. Also, I don't think I've ever seen such a poorly-edited or typeset author, with basic mistakes such as your/you're, problems with switching tenses (altho I struggle with this as a writer, too). and missing words. Between this and Slater's already borderline ADHD style of writing, the stories here feel rushed and sloppy. He also leaves too much to the reader to fill in, which if these stories were films, would be the equivalent of plot holes. Slater is a very imaginative writer, and has moments of real eloquence and insight as a raconteur, but to see his best work I would recommend either Puppet Skin or I Will Without You, or both. Puppet Skin is I think his finest work, and I Will Rot is an at times beautifully-written meditation on love, loss, and new love. Overall, it's a mixed bag with him sometimes his wild imagination and bizarro approach works almost masterfully, but other times it comes across as juvenile, silly, and just implausible, which makes it hard to suspend disbelief. He has a very conversational tone in writing, which sometimes bothers me, because I think it's important to remember the line dividing speech and writing and the differences between the two. Sometimes his conversational tone works -- it depends on what story he is telling. I didn't like Roadvolution or DangerRama, but really liked Puppet Skin and I Will Rot, so dive into his works and see for yourself what you end up liking or disliking.
To Danger Slater,
You are an absolute madman. Your creative process is top notch. This is the most bizarre s*** I have ever been exposed to in my entire life. Well done.
To Everyone Else,
Buy this book.
Luckily for us, there are some pretty f*&$ed up things bubbling around in Danger Slater's mind. Even better for us, he gets them all down on the page in these three novellas. I think he actually hits the mark with these better than he did in "Love Me," and I thought he did a pretty good job in that book. He manages to always keep the story humorous, imaginative, and intensely interesting. Seriously, this is some fun stuff.
Danger, Roy Robinson, Danger!
Do you like Sy-fi? Out of this world absurd literature? If you answer yes, then grab your time machines, and spaceships for the ride for life through the mind of the blues of bizarro Danger Slater.
The first of three novellas Knights of White Caste is a time machine goes wrong tale a laughable read but a little dull for me.
Now Somnambulant on the hand is crazy funny. A sleepy disorder of WTF moments. The "Will Smith" we all know makes an odd appearance, that will guarantee smack you in the face with laughter.
The last of the three Me&...... Is a man lost in space that gives "Finger F**ing" a whole new meaning. One small step for man. One huge laugh brought to you by Danger Rama.
