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. The premise of each story is as if you're reading Richard Laymon, but it's way more perverted (how's that even possible?!) and absolutely hilarious! I" Read more of this review »

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”
