Editorial Reviews for Rock Gods & Messy Monsters
“Hatz tackles, decks, and jabs at corporations like a pro boxer, satirizing the precariously imbalanced work-life balance that countless readers outside of the upper echelons of wealth can recognize immediately.” RECOMMENDED
– Independent Book Review
“The novel is so perverse it causes one to laugh out loud at the deranged storyline and detailed descriptions, offering an easy-to-read yarn for those looking for something different. This is truly satire at its best.“
– US Review of Books
“Satirical, zany, hilarious—a gut-punching commentary about the inner workings of the music industry, its power complexes, and power plays.”
– The BookLife Prize by Publishers Weekly
Book Description
“Everything Everywhere All At Once” meets “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” (in a 1990s record company!)
Aliens have hatched a rockstar. Brain extractions, falling body parts, and blood-vessel explosions are the norm. Alex’s dream job has turned into a nightmare.
What should she do?
It’s the 1990s. Alex arrives at Acht Records, her improbable blonde hair streaked stress magenta and anger black. Her first duty is to wipe blood off her boss’s walls. It goes downhill from there.
Rock Gods & Messy Monsters is a humorous story about life inside a record company. Yet between the lines of satire and nods to science fiction, the book is a thought-provoking female narrative and social commentary on the corporate world.
Join Alex as she weaves through a comedic cast of characters and down crazed corridors of power, where her boss attempts to thwart her at every turn.
The 1990s New York City music scene never seemed so alien, yet so familiar.
Carol Anderson from the US Review of Books captures its essence perfectly: “The novel is so perverse it causes one to laugh out loud at the deranged storyline and detailed descriptions. This is truly satire at its best.“
