A wild heist adventure with degenerate junkies, faded stars, Hollywood sex tapes, and desperate recovery in the steamy underbelly of Los Angeles. Jeffrey and Randal—broken, scheming addicts—plan to sell a legendary tape for fortune and redemption, pursued through rehab mansions, sleazy dives, and corridors of glitz and darkness.
“A post-punk crack at Hollywood’s legacy that’s funnier than its predecessor, and just as cringe-inducing… O’Neill brings a motley crew of addicts, charlatans, TV whores and desperate johns together in a send-up of Hollywood capers.” — Kirkus Reviews (Full Review)
“A Hollywood thriller that’s equal parts acerbic social commentary à la Burroughs’s Naked Lunch and extraordinary crime fiction misadventure… Fans of Chuck Palahniuk and Warren Ellis will cherish this twisted tale and its repellent and disturbing imagery.” — Publishers Weekly (Full Review)
“Sick City resembles a fallen angel’s travelogue through LA’s seamy underbelly. Tony O’Neill’s writing is hallucinogenic, savage, and unforgettable.” — The Austin Chronicle (Full Review)
“Sick City is high-octane crime fiction. O’Neill’s prose is punchy, and the pace never lets up. Uncompromising and unforgettable.” — Midwest Book Review (Full Review)
“It’s all the sex, drugs, grit, and squalor of classic pulp, married to O’Neill’s surreally sharp, cinematic prose… Sick City is a degenerate’s dream.” — Workshy Fop (Full Review)
