Jeff O'Brien liked Kyle's review of THE SMEGXORCIST: "Man!! What can a reader say about Jeff O'Brien's books? Well, first of all, they're fckn ridiculous.

Quotes by Jeff O'Brien (?)

“Seated on one side of the room, in a quite expensive looking leather chair, was a short, stout figure with skin of dull green, and huge, black eyes. A Grey alien, I knew, although he was actually green. I’m betting his race takes issue with their given title. But then again, white people and black people aren’t actually white or black, so maybe I just think too much.”
― Jeff O'Brien, Journey to the Edge of the Flat Earth

“Don’t listen to this asshole, Frank,” laughed Kyle. “The kid is sitting there wearing a Dying Fetus t-shirt and talking sexual morality.” “Well”
