Oedipus Porn
Watching porn is the spice of Rex's life. But dark truths lurk beneath the surface. When the skeletons finally burst out of the closet, he's forced to look beyond himself and do what's right. His world will never be the same.
As a slacker, Rex Hunt is the real deal. He's jobless and lives in a ratty apartment with his zombie mom and her loser boyfriend, Gus. While he dreams about joining voluptuous Zoé in Europe, in reality he can't get any farther than his favorite '90s porn video and his girlfriend Winnie's bed.
Everyone starts acting odd at once. Mysterious signs of violence suggest Rex's humdrum existence isn't what it seems. Exactly what's happening behind closed doors? Shocking discoveries come to light in the most unlikely places, and once confronted with them escaping into testosterone-tainted fantasy is no longer an option.
Rex must finally contend with an evil that has been hiding in plain sight the whole time. Even if it means the bodies start piling up.

"The Colt felt hefty in his hands, but the recoil was surprisingly gentle. With the first round, Rex shot Mr. Lim through the heart for being such a stuck-up prick. Next, he shot Winnie's mother for only pretending to like the white boy her daughter was shagging. Then he knocked off Mr. Watkins, his ex-chemistry teacher, for in-class sarcasm and rude remarks. Finally, for that bitch Mrs. Ross, his math teacher who'd called him stupid in front of the whole class, there was a bullet right between the eyes. There was no such thing as a bad student, only shit teachers. The world was full of them.
Shooting Gus was even more satisfying. In Rex's fantasy, Gus raised his hands and shrieked like a woman frightened by a hairy spider. He begged for mercy, but it was much too late for that."
