Felix and the Sacred Thor

New Bizarro Author Series

by James L. Steele

HUMANITY'S FATE IS IN THE HANDS OF HE WHO WIELDS THE SACRED THOR!

"Epic quests don't involve the internet or TV! They involve sex toys and manly, hard-bodied, larger-than-life heroes defying physics, logic and insurmountable odds, spitting out quotable, highly marketable catchphrases all the while!"
-The Sacred Horse

Felix might not quite fit this description, but he's trying. After retrieving the most powerful weapon in the world from the Sacred Horse and proving himself a pervert of the purest heart, he sets upon an epic quest to destroy the kamikaze alien invaders poised to eliminate the entire human race.

Invaders have implanted themselves in the college graduates standing in unemployment lines—the very backbone of the nation's economy. They've positioned themselves in the city's grease transmission system, without which America will starve to death in minutes. They threaten the digital children, who cannot survive without their Internet connections. They even threaten Bob.

College taught Felix how to please a horse. It didn't prepare him for the challenge of using an upgradeable horse dildo as a weapon to free himself from his tyrannical bosses at work and become a warrior for humanity.

[Stephen · Rating 4 out of 5]

THE ABOVE IS NOT A JOKE…..THE REVIEW BELOW IS INTENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT IS WRITTEN BY A VERY IMMATURE ONE…..

YOU……

HAVE…..

BEEN…..

WARNED!!!

Now I admit that I have become more than a little jaded with the glut of “sameness” that is lately filling up the literary marketplace. There are certainly days that I want to grab a hot glue gun and spackle my eyes shut to avoid having to look at another paranormal romance cover with an ultra hot [guy/girl/other] staring fuckeyes at another uber smoking [guy/girl/other].

So when I picked up “Felix and the Sacred Thor” by James Steele I was really hoping for something fresh, original and different. At first, I was a little disappointed because within the first 3 pages I saw the standard, typical set up. I was like OH SHIT, here we go again with another “naked pervert (aka Felix) walking through a pasture to masturbate a large black horse who turns out to be an immortal talking Sacred Horse and bestows unto Felix his mighty, magic, detachable penis in the form of a green, two foot dildo and then instructs Felix to use it to save the world while angels in the heavens are playing encouraging rock music.”.…I mean….YAWN…how many times is someone gonna use that tired old premise?

Okay, just kidding….what I was actually thinking after reading the above (which really does all take place in the first few pages) was….


But after my initial case of "Holy Shit, what have I picked up," I let myself go with the story and was laughing out loud through the rest of this short novella. Yes, it is demented and the dildo count is exponentially higher than in any other book I have read, but it is also an extremely clever, outrageously funny satire on capitalism, the corporate machine and the mindless drones that act as its fuel.

The story is wonderfully bizarre and mixes sick humor with piercing social commentary and some interesting comments on the human condition. Plus there are many, many large magic animal dildos that gain super powers by “leveling up” in the performance of their duties. When the last time you read about that!!

Add to that, suicidal retail customers, managers using "sodomy" as a “disciplinary” tool, a global conspiracy and sentient, flying toasters threatening to take over mankind. Mix it all into the rather unique blender of James Steele’s imagination and you have a very original and funny read. RECOMMENDED!!!

In a dystopian society where unemployment is the norm, Felix wields the Sacred Thor against the forces that threaten humanity, the sentient toasters living in the chest cavities of most college graduates. Did I mention The Sacred Thor is a "marital aid" shaped like an enormous horse penis? I didn't? You'd think I would have mentioned that first...

Where do I start? Do I mention a world where many college graduates are stress management specialists, dedicated to servicing pent up animals? Do I mention the rampant elements of satire mocking the absurdity of corporate America? No, I'll mention that Felix wields a giant horse penis that levels up as he dispatches his enemies.

Felix and the Sacred Thor is quite a tale. It's part quest story, part super hero story, but it's mostly a commentary on how ridiculous corporate America has become. 19 hour work days, being sodomized by supervisors, firings for minor offenses, are any of those thing really that hard to imagine? James Steele took his frustration with working in retail and turned the knob up to 11.

While the dry humor was the main selling point for me, Steele's writing almost made me forget Felix was waving a giant horse penis around. From grease being renamed "sustenance" in the interest of political correctness to nutrition being broadcast into people's bloodstreams, his world building was quite deep for 82 pages of story.

If there is a Bizarro crown, place it on the head of James Steele immediately. 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is a must-read for the following people:

- dildo enthusiasts
- horse dildo enthusiasts
- animal dildo enthusiasts in general
- the unemployed
- unemployed dildo enthusiasts
- lovers of mystical quests and recipients of occasional forced sodomy (not mutually exclusive)
- retail employees who hate their jobs (possibly redundant with the previous entry)
- retail managers who love their jobs
- toaster enthusiasts
- RPG enthusiasts
- enthusiasm enthusiasts (just kidding)

This book is definitely NOT for the following people:

- children
- nuns
- this guy
- these guys

I think that about covers it.

My review for this is really 4.5 stars but Good reads doesn't allow that so I bumped it up in the interests of fairness.

I have to be brutally honest here and just get the negative out of the way. This book contains two things I loathe deeply: references to gaming and forced sodomy. Seriously, the former is an irritant and the latter is an OMG because I just get freaked out by the image of so much non-consensual buttsex. I’m a girl. What can I say. It’s all just a part of who I am. So almost needless to say, this book irritated me and made me uncomfortable. Though the forced sodomy is handled in a humorous manner and because I have reached the limit of what I can tolerate in terms of feminist advocacy with the whole “raped to sleep by dickwolves” situation, I don’t find anything offensive in this book. Don’t mistake being squicked out from time to time with being offended. I mean, it’s a book in which everyone is into bestiality (I had to create a tag for it, and frankly I was surprised I didn’t already have one) and the characters exact justice using very large animal dildos. Honestly, there is no way anyone who is the least bit prudish, easily upset or easily offended should read this book. But then again, most people who are prudish, easily upset or easily offended are likely not reading this site.

I am a woman for whom nothing is shocking once I get used to it so I was not really that put off by the content in this book but man, Steele made me uncomfortable as hell in just the first few pages. Not a “let’s go online and start a flame war” sort of uncomfortableness, but rather an “I need to encase this book in concrete and drop it in the ocean” sort of way. But I got over it and while I cannot wholly say if I like this entirety book or not, I don’t know if it needs that sort of advocacy. It is so demented and bizarre and gross it calls out to be read by every fan of the outre in the same way David Baker’s book does. In fact, I think the world needs to get these two in a room and sweat them out, bottle their salty leavings and pour it on normal people to see what happens. Bloody revolution followed by a really perverted orgy, I suspect. That or issue restraining orders against them so they can never meet. Either way. Read my entire review here.

[Auntie Raye-Raye · Rating 4 out of 5]

I feel like I can relate somewhat to James Steele. We both live in the same state. (and I'm not talking about perversity or insanity.) I'm always extra tickled when a Bizarro comes from Ohio. Things are a lot weirder here then people think.

We both share a interest in bestiality and demented sex toys. The past couple months I've watched a couple documentaries on people involved in a bestiality lifestyle. It's fascinating to hear them talk about being in love with a horse or a dog. They were completely serious about it. "I'm married to my pony Pixel" "Sharon's lover is her dog" etc.

I looked up the website that produces the "Thor". It's pretty whacked out and amazing. (Seriously, if are a legal adult & you read this book, you need to check the website. It'll help.) I'm not sure how I hadn't came upon it before.I'm always looking up something weird. When I was a teen, my friend and I would joke about "Dogdos" which would be dildos for dogs or dog shaped dildos for humans. We'd have like 8 hour conversations of this nature.

Felix's adventures in retail were dead-on. My late mother, worked customer service at Woolworth's for 12 years. Her daily stories were almost like what's portrayed in the book.

James really understands what it's like to have a "useless" degree and trying to compete with others for a low paying job. He totally described how it is to be unemployed for years at a time.

It's hard for me to pick favorites, but this might be my favorite of the 2010 NBAS.

[Kirk · Rating 4 out of 5]

A pervert of the purest heart, sodomized by his superiors at the local equivalent of Wal-Mart during his day job, and sexually stimulating stallions to the rock ballads of angels when time or opportunity permits. A living dildo that levels up with each onslaught waged on its behalf. A horde of maniacal radioactive toasters bent on destroying the human race.

That about sums the exposition up.

After the introduction we get a series of slice of bizarro dystopia vignettes, all connected by Felix, his sacred Thor, and the fact that each of the new characters relate in some way or another to the impending toaster apocalypse. But each of the short incidents aren't just connected by a common subject. They're woven from the fabric of a common theme as well: a critique of contemporary consumer culture, and the eradication of value placed on education. Steele paints a portrait of a world where qualified people have become a commodity, one so readily available that their value has diminished to virtual nothingness . . . a world not far from our own.

And there are some interesting concepts and ideas worthy of novella-length manuscripts contained within many of these short passages, which suggests to me that Steele's wealth of insight into bizarro writing will lead him to a promising career down the road.

What I have mentioned above is one of the elements of some bizarro writing that I have come to love: bizarro elements existing in a world not quite alien, serving as metaphor for very real phenomenon in our dreary, not-so-bizarro every day existence. After all, isn't it true that we all carry within us a ticking time bomb, about to detonate with the proper amount of rejection? At the other end of the spectrum, we have the Felixes, egomaniacs who pride themselves on pre-emptive attacks against the all-too-oppressive society surrounding them, and on the very few, yet menial things that make them unique.

The only thing that inhibited the flow of the plot was the short passages that, while interesting, seemed a little out of place, or didn't necessarily contribute to the plot line. While they enhance the social critique offered by Steele, chapters like "iTha" and "Why All Great Employees Drive a Minihearse" didn't move the plot forward. I like to think of them as tactful intermissions, but I could see why some might disagree.

I felt quite at home reading this text, primarily because the social commentary featured therein reflected the social commentary contained in my book. This is modern allegory guised as bizarro. Suspend your disbelief, scrutinize the strange for meaning, and you will not be disappointed. There is depth between these pages, and I'm not just referring to a two foot long sex toy rendered to resemble a horse penis.

[Eric Hendrixson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Felix and the Sacred Thor is a stupid story about a guy who breaks toasters with a rubber horse cock. It’s also a very clever social satire about education, economics, and the nature of the heroic quest. This puts me in a difficult position. While one part of me wants to giggle stupidly at the superhero antics of Felix, whose hero ethos seems at times to be derived more from video games and cartoons than from, say, Joseph Campbell–-even his supernatural guide refers to acquiring skills as leveling up, especially when he chastises Felix for his lack of quotability–-another part of me wants to chuckle knowingly.

In the world of this book, the vast majority of the population is college-educated. Unfortunately, they are all educated to do essentially the same thing, and is not a terribly useful thing–-jerking off animals. This creates massive unemployment. Opportunities to jerk off animals are actually pretty rare, and most positions are unpaid. In addition to the unemployed liberal arts--sorry--pervert graduates, there are the ludicrously plugged-in and corporate zombies.

I'm in the same spot I was when I was watching the movie Idiocracy or reading Candide or The Sotweed Factor. The satire is funny enough, but when the antics of the characters being satirized are this ludicrous and the characters are just likable enough, I kind of want to laugh with them and come to actually like them. Felix really is a pervert of the purest heart, and you want to cheer for him, though his quest is stupid and misguided, maybe even more so because his quest is stupid and he follows through with complete sincerity. And, yes, Steele is a clever author for being able to pull this off.

(Reprinted from the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography [cclapcenter.com]. I am the original author of this essay, as well as the owner of CCLaP; it is not being reprinted illegally.)

This is the latest in Eraserhead Press' "New Bizarro Author Series," in which the publisher will put out an inexpensive novella by a beginning writer as a way for them to prove that they should get a full book contract; and admittedly, this one is even sillier than most of the titles from this series I receive, an out-and-out fairytale for grown-ups that completely breaks with reality quite early in the story. See, in the future, it comes to pass that 94 percent of all college students end up training to become "Equine Stress Management Specialists," in charge of sexually satisfying nervy racehorses, with the resulting national economic collapse and subsequent rebuild into a permanent welfare state making it now most people's "jobs" to stand in mile-long unemployment lines all day, every day; it's within such an environment that we watch our hero get one of the astronomically rare horse-massage jobs actually out there, at which point he realizes that the junk of the horse in question is in reality actually a giant green sex toy and sacred weapon bestowed by a long-forgotten god, which our protagonist is charged with using in order to bring about world peace. And that gets us to…oh, page ten or so, which is where things start getting really weird; so instead of further plot recapping, I'll just encourage you at this point to pick up a copy of the book if you're the type of person who likes these kinds of stories, and run like hell if you're not.

Out of 10: 8.0

[Charlie · Rating 5 out of 5]

If Salvador Dali were to comment on the meaningless of a college degree he might be inspired to paint a flying toaster getting whacked by a horse dildo. Steele makes excellent use of the literary device, non sequitur, in his comedic quest to save humanity in Felix and the Sacred Thor. This is not just a story about sex toys, but a commentary on modernism, social culture, education and the pursuit of greater things. And yes, the dirty underbelly of the retail world where receipts are optional and no customer should be allowed to borrow scissors. In between laughs, I was thinking about what humanity is really doing. Are they going through the motions of the mundane, or is anyone really using their strengths for a greater good. Deep, I know. Another aspect that I enjoyed was the use of objects and twisting the meaning that has already been assigned to said object. A dildo is a sex toy until you make (use) it for something else. In this case, a weapon to save the world. It's amazing how quickly when new meaning is applied, the taboo of the object dissolves. In the end, words are just letters put together in a certain order. The power comes from what we impose on it, the meaning we give it, and realizing each person possesses the power to change it can be mind blowing.

I like books that make people uncomfortable and according to Anita Dalton's review on www.ireadoddbooks.com this book does that and so much more. So, I'm really intrigued to read it and see for myself.

Holy moly me oh my, boy oh boy, is this one of the most bizarre and interesting books I have come across in the NBAS series. I've been struggling to write this review for a few days now and these few words keep popping into my brain:

HOLY HORSE COCK!

But that's not all this book is about, oh no it's not! It's also a statement on our society. How we're all overeducated, but under employed. How when you work in any customer service field whether it be retail or the front lines of a corporation (like I do), you'll always wish to have your own version of 'The Thor' to use as a weapon on all the ID10T's out there.

Yes, this book certainly has it's moments, but hey it's labeled as bizarro after all, and if you can get past the opening sequence of a naked Felix all lubed up running through a field of horses to use his equine stress management degree, then you should certainly pick up this book and read it.

Meet Felix, America's newest folk hero!

This one will be difficult to review. Not because of my opinion of the book, or doubts about anything contained therein. No, the difficulty is going to be in reviewing “Felix and the Sacred Thor” in an Amazon-friendly manner.

Felix is an Equine Stress Management Specialist. If you read the book's description, you can probably guess how he manages these stress levels. After proving himself worthy, the Sacred Horse grants him the Sacred Thor, an unimaginably powerful weapon that is in the form of a large amount of plastic molded into the shape of a particular part of a horse's anatomy. Plus, it's magical as it upgrades by increasing in size, changing color, and gaining new abilities as he gains experience (or XP, literally) fighting against a malevolent force that threatens to disrupt the American way of life and eventually destroy humanity.

If only Felix could get the catchphrases right...

If you've gone this far in the review, then you've probably read the book's description, so you should already know what you're getting into. Still, be warned, it gets a little...rough, not to mention a little...blue? Well, maybe not blue, although that's probably one of the colors that the Sacred Thor gains. Maybe a little more purple, and black, and brown, and pink. Well, you get the idea.

James Steele really doesn't hold anything back. And I mean “anything.” If you're looking for sharp and sarcastic social commentary drenched in strange sexual innuendo, then...actually, come to think of it, I don't think this would even qualify as innuendo, as there's nothing subtle about it. In other words, be warned that you might feel the need for a boiling hot shower after reading this, depending on how prudish you might be. However, if you can easily imagine Felix using the Sacred Thor like a super pogo stick to fly through the city streets, then you'll be just fine.

It's a grand and hilarious adventure that, despite the strangeness of the whole thing, actually makes a certain kind of sense. Or I'm just crazy enough to believe that it makes sense, and whether this insanity set in before or after reading “Felix and the Sacred Thor” is probably up for debate. In any case, it will be a far cry from wasting your time, and being insane is not without its perks.

Recommended for those who would fight for truth, justice, and the American way, and especially for those who would fight for it by slapping the villains around with a giant plastic animal part. You can guess which one.

"A toaster crawled out from the woman's blouse. It stretched its wings and rose into the air." Now -that's- a fabulous image. One of many James Steele treats us to in "Felix and the Sacred Thor."

As a college grad struggling to find work in my field of choice, I can really relate to the main character, Felix. The dong-wielding superhero part, perhaps not quite so much. Though after finishing this book, I'm seeing it as a possible option.

Even as short as the story is, there's still a vivid world created within it. I'm not sure if it can accurately be described as dystopian; most people (including our fearless hero) seem happy with the way things are going. The universe feels like a logical next step beyond the 'The Mall What Ate Everything' episode of Sliders, (Oh come on don't tell me you all didn't watch it too. Third season, they all have to get jobs at the mall right before Christmas, painful not-hilarity ensues when no one is allowed to keep their checks or ever leave work.) and mixed with a liberal dose of classic side-scroller.
O yeh, and giant magical rubber dongs.

I enjoyed that though the book is basically one story, there were a lot of chapters that could stand on their own quite nicely, 'iTha' being a definite favorite. Like much of the satire throughout the book it has a basic, recognizable gripe at its core that James takes one step further. The iMattress was a fantastic touch. I also got a kick out of 'Crossing Swords.' I dare anyone to read that solid page of dialogue and not picture a grainy kung-fu movie!

Anyway, go read it. It's awesome!

[David Barbee · Rating 4 out of 5]

James Steele's debut is an epic fantasy adventure where a lowly peasant receives a powerful weapon and becomes a hero to save the day. It takes place in a futuristic capitalist society, but it has all the trademarks of classical fantasy. The hero is Felix, a customer service rep, and he is tasked with saving the world from exploding toasters. His weapon is the Sacred Thor, which is a horse phallus. Much of the story involves Felix running around slaying toasters and leveling up his weapon.

Felix's world is also very interesting, with a lot of cool sci-fi ideas. Food is transmitted through the air, and the radiation is so thick in places that you can gain hundreds of pounds via exposure. The economy is driven by endless droves of workers who went to college, study useless vocations, and spend years standing in unemployment lines. Everyone is graphically exploited and they're usually thankful for it. It's an insane view of capitalism, education, and the modern workforce that makes a lot of really good points.

On the downside, the narrative has a jerky rhythm that makes it a little hard to settle into the story. There are some pacing problems and some sections of text seem unnecessary. Still, it's a funny hyperactive sci-fi story that turns the "epic quest" genre completely on its head, with plenty of smart and ridiculous musings about the state of the average laborer in a terrible economy. Read it while you're waiting in line for that dream job at the floor sweeping factory.

(Yup, all entries in the NBAS - New Bizarro Author Series - will be reviewed soon).

For everyone with job frustrations, read on.

When I think of flying toasters, I think of the After Dark screensavers from the 90's. Gentle creatures that flap their wings, trying desperately to keep up with the toaster in front of them. I do not think of alien spacecrafts loaded with nuclear devices that will explode if smacked with a giant sex toy shaped like the anatomy of a horse.

When I think of heroes ... well, my first image is not the Arnold Schwarzenegger quotable smashfest, which is apparently all that the world had seen before.

When I think of hate inspiring art, I definitely don't imagine a book that is so fun and so funny.

Felix and the Sacred Thor is hilarious. It can be called "Ultra-realism" (more than "surrealism") taking things that we say as figurative and making it literal. Getting screwed over at the work place? Well, so is our hero, by multiple bosses, as well as everyone in the unemployment lines (that last for months before anyone moves forward). The nastiness of not feeling secure enough to fight back for your human rights in your job for fear of entering the unemployment lines again matched up with the frustration of those that demand the unrealistic from you tied with a man fighting off internal toasters with internal detonation devices ... it's too much to ask for in a book.

James Steele pulls it off wonderfully, and though I don't know if I've ever read a book that emanated hate so much ... I also know that it is rare to read a book so funny and with which I could sympathize so quickly.

Id Says:
Holy dildo, Cat-Man! Violating orifices has never been this much fun.
As a returns clerk, Felix is used to getting anally raped by his bosses at work. Each molestation a friendly reminder that he's one of the lucky ones. He's employed. He may not be getting paid, but at least he's not standing in that unemployment line wrapped around his store's building.

Still, it isn't what he studied so hard in college to do. Felix was supposed to be an Equine Stress Management Specialist. He lived to relieve pent up horses, not asshole customers! Poor, poor pervert...

After waiting for weeks in a line outside a ranch, Felix is finally given the chance to do what he does best on a horse with a very different member. Amid an open sky filled with singing angels, he grabs hold of not only that Sacred Horse's most sacred of parts, but also of destiny!

With the Sacred Horse's blessing, and a giant horse dildo throbbing with power, Felix is now ready to become a bad-ass, catchphrase spewing hero and the save the world from evil forces. If only he could find out who these forces are...

'Scuze me while I go suck some nutrients outta the air.


Ego Says:
I enjoyed how much this book details the world it's set in, the society and mechanics of day-to-day life, as it included descriptions of the many people who live there. Littered throughout the book are entire chapters dedicated to minor characters who come into contact with our protagonist, Felix.

There's Sheila, a young, unemployed woman standing in a job line with an ace embedded in her stomach.
Albert, a security guard ostracized by his peers for enjoying vanilla sex, he's not allowed to leave his guard booth without explicit permission from his superiors.
Possibly my favorite character is Martha, who goes by Tha and never leaves the comfort and security of her iRoom, her reality found online. The logic behind her lifestyle had me giggling the whole chapter through.

These three don't share much in common aside from encountering Felix on his epic quest. Felix is a ne'er-do-well trying to eek out a normal life and continue supporting the nation's economy by standing in unemployment lines found on every city block.
When Felix accepts his duty to become a chiseled, cocky hero, he discovers a life beyond his meager existence. Fighting for a cause gives him purpose and instills in him a sense of pride fit for a pervert of the purest heart.

Over the course of the book, Felix grows and learns with his leveling-up Sacred Thor. On the horizon are flying toasters bent on world destruction, along with a few surprises unknown to even the Sacred Horse himself.


Super-Ego Says:
The style of Felix And The Sacred Thor is what grabbed my attention first. This book is essentially satire, sometimes silly but mostly thought provoking. Mr. Steele pokes fun at many modern day issues such as the economy/job market, education, food production and technology, and he even satirizes stereotypical heroics and their place in today's world.

Felix doesn't feel all that special. He's just another average joe who believes in the modern way and happy to be a contributing member of society. When the Sacred Horse reveals his destiny to him, he is reluctant and unsure of himself. His path is somewhat like the Hero's Journey, but unlike the traditional hero Felix feels the magnitude of what he's up against is too large for him to contend with. There has to be a better way.

Reading the book felt like being inside a video game. The upgrading dildo, the impossible fight scenes, the sense of adventure... I could have been my fifteen year old self playing role playing games by Squaresoft again. Oh, but if only those games had story lines like this!

The absurdity of this world, it seems to me, is what keeps things balanced. When a flying toaster carrying a nuclear bomb inside it is diving straight for you, you swing that dildo as hard as you can and smack it the hell away from you. Makes sense to me.

Sure, some of the logic employed by the characters would appear as absolute lunacy in our world, but after some close scrutinizing I realized the hard truth: In some ways, we're already making the world of Felix and his weapon of mass penetration a reality.

[Chris · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is quite a good first book by Mr. Steele. The social commentary is put forth in bizarro fashion and seems to me to be right on point. The story follows Felix and his quest to save the world from explosive toasters with his Thor (a horse dildo that grows larger after completing various tasks). While Felix is the hero in this tale, Pat, the owner of the novelty toaster company, makes some good points towards the end of the book. I enjoyed this book and think it could easily be turned into a pretty interesting video game.
