SOCKS
From the author of Zodiac and Panicus Satanicus
Chris is afraid.
He’s afraid of the wave pool at the water park, the bullies constantly after him, and his mom finding the pile of cum socks under his bed. But high school is starting, and that’s what scares him the most.
When Chris sits next to Andy, the new girl in town, he didn’t expect to make a new friend. And after Andy stands up to Chris’s long-time bully, they become inseparable.
During a late-night masturbation session with his favorite sock, Chris accidentally summons a demon, an evil entity capable of animating his socks and using them for its nightmarish goal.
The socks are alive, hungry, and will let nothing stop them from tearing everything apart.
Chris and Andy find themselves in a gross fight against mutant cum socks, and a battle with their own demons. There’s only one way for them to beat face their fears–and try not to touch anything.

If John Hughes caught a twinkle in Lloyd Kaufman's eye in the mid to late 80s and proceeded to have consensual unprotected sex, the result would have been SOCKS But instead, John Hughes and Lloyd Kaufman's path did not cross as such, so it took until the year 2022 for the mind of Tom Duffy to produce such a twisted tale.
Either way, the story of SOCKS was destined to be told. It's a twisted, sardonic the on the high school coming-of-age tale that's as old as time. I can picture Mathew Broderick as the protagonist, Chris, and Ally Sheedy as his would-be unrequited love interest, Andy. I can picture terrible and endearing stop motion sock puppetry driving the Jerry of the story. And I can see author Tom Duffy on Entertainment Tonight being interviewed by Mary Heart a out all the unimportant things a fickle audiences seems to care about and those same things that Tom Duffy like to point out that makes the world an unbearable place to exist within.
But that's a take too deep for this basically fun teen action comedy titled SOCKS where ejaculate laced socks rise like the dead to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting populace.
It's a zombie cum-sock book, is what I'm trying to say

So, I admit I didn’t know what this book was really about. Having 3 sons… I’m not sure I would have bought it, if I did. Having said that, I’m glad I did. It was an adventure of teenage years in the 80’s. This was a quick romp through growing up. I loved the 25 years later chapter so much. The afterword got me a little teary since I know and knew the people that are mentioned. Jay Wilburn is surely missed.

I will start out by saying this was a strangely touching story of those awkward early teenage years. But with mutant “teenage boy used” socks. Nowhere would I be able to put the correct word but it begins with a c.
As I said there are some touching moments but also some hilariously disgusting and depraved ones too.
I think my favourite part was when the mutant socks were trying to break down a door to get at our main characters. This part honestly made my sides hurt.
This is a b movie story made into a book somewhere between Shaun of the Dead and Slaxxx!, which if you didn’t know is a fabulous movie about a killer pair of trousers.
I absolutely cannot wait for the sequels.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. When I read the premise, I thought “this is going to be ridiculous.” And it was, but in such a fun way. Usually demonic/haunted inanimate objects aren’t my cup of tea, but this was done in such a fun, absurd way, that I really enjoyed it. This was a super fast, well-written read, & I’d recommend it to any horror lover that needs a bit of a palate cleanser

Socks is a coming-of-age story set in the 1980s. The usual fare of navigating into adulthood isn’t cracked up to be so easy when strange things begin to arise. Not for the faint of heart with its devious overtones when the worst part of puberty decides to fight back. A dark humor story with the supernatural sticky enemies mixed with teen angst is a first that I’ve never read before.
