Saint the Terrifying

Joshua Mohr

"I didn't really write these songs. The main character in my book did…I captured his sound, his riffs, and his lyrics to really feel the demented whimsy in his soul. So did the book lead me to his music, or was it the music that allowed me to write his trilogy of novels? That's the magic of Saint. He's a galaxy." —Joshua Mohr

This bundle features the first volume of the Saint trilogy, Saint the Terrifying, paired with a 12-inch record of pure punk mayhem imaginatively written and performed in the persona of Saint, the novel's protagonist. In the first installment of Joshua Mohr’s punk rock saga, a West Oakland musician acquires a new name and new calling. As its one-eyed, one-man wrecking ball hero chases down a gang of thieves, Saint the Terrifying turns a gritty urban detective story into the stuff of legend.

Six song ep Wrong Side (12-inch blue vinyl) includes:

1. Let the Diamonds In

2. Size Queens

3. Wrong Side

4. Don't Body Shame the Moon

5. Decapite the Government

6. Wrong Side (acoustic)

Praise for Saint the Terrifying:

"Josh Mohr is a kind of punk rock arc-angel, and this wildly sacred book is on fire with his genius. It’s everything. The whole horizon, within and without."

—Luis Alberto Urrea

"Mohr writes with energy and a sense of music. Beneath the tragedy and neon mayhem runs a lovely optimism, a feeling of redemption and generosity toward mankind."

—Steph Cha, author of Your House Will Pay

"Delivering a pitch perfect voice, this is the book Henry Rollins would have written if he had been a fiction-writing-Viking, moshing to the Cro-Mags or The Misfits and viewing Sonny Chiba flicks, but he did not, instead you have the creatively powerful voice of Joshua Mohr at the height of his literary powers."

—Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana, Donnybrook, The Savage, and Back to the Dirt
