About the author
Eric Turowski
20 books64 followersEric Turowski is the author of Willing Servants, 21st Century Pulp, as well as numerous short stories. He is the general manager and part owner of the Alameda Sun newspaper in Alameda, California, as well as a resident of that fair city.
Interests are writing, fencing, anthropology, ghost hunting, painting, drawing, inventing things already invented, cryptozoology, dinosaurs, playing guitar and being an american "idle".
Like to write and play music, punk rock, for the most part. Influences are the Beatles, the Ramones, Blue Oyster Cult, David Bowie and the Buzzcocks.
Some favorite movies are Jaws, the Exorcist, Buckaroo Bonzai and Star Wars. Anything with zombies, big bugs and demons a big plus here, love the blood and gore of a horror flick. I can also appreciate a really bad B movie as well.
Television shows I enjoy are Eureka, Sesame Street, Josie &; The Pussycats, Scoobie Doo, X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Night Stalker, Lost, Murder and Ghost Hunters(to name a few).
Heroes besides my mother, father,and girlfriend... Darren McGavin, William Shatner and Stan (the man) Lee. Batman, of course...why? He can kick Supermans ass and he has no super powers! Plus he has all the cool toys!

Pell-mell intensity!
Non-stop action keeps this story revving from ignition to exhaustion. Bloody and dark sorcerous horrors bend the mind of characters and readers. Very fast-paced, a tad confusing, some memorable characters, and another score for the big guy.

Feels like: Graham Hancock and Joe Rogan find the Lost City of Z
This would be Aaron Rodgers' favourite book during his favourite ayahuasca retreat.
Once more, Eric proves another of these stories’ best traits – versatility. The ease with which Irons’ yarn gets unfurled across urban, wasteland, and wilderness settings, managing to use the traits of each of them to convey tension and interest is always exciting to see. This time, Irons gets co-opted by Hunter S. Thompson and William H. Burrows (I kid you not) for a trek across the Yucatan jungle, looking for psychedelic mushrooms – what else?

This book is a head-spinning blend of adventure, myth, and madness. The author drops you straight into the haze of the Yucatan jungle with a cast of unforgettable characters, a junkie novelist, an acid-fried journalist, and an outlaw biker, and somehow makes you care about all of them. The writing is sharp, vivid, and darkly funny. The supernatural touches feel both terrifying and believable. It’s Hunter S. Thompson meets Indiana Jones, but darker, weirder, and more addictive.
