Extreme Dentistry

Bag om Extreme Dentistry

Open wide... and pray for your life. Middle-aged, middle-income and lapsed Mormon Arthur Percy felt his life lurch from a difficult normality onto the rails of a carnival ride heading somewhere too much like the Twilight Zone for his liking. Perhaps it is more the "Anti-Twilight Zone" that Arthur enters-where vampires, shape shifters and ghouls are not gorgeous or glamorous but genetic parasites from a hideous communal intelligence known as the Hive. Who will save the human race? And what does all this have to do with Dr. Calvin Stewart, Arthur's new dentist? Aurora Award-nominated author Hugh A. D. Spencer weaves a hilarious tale of sarcasm, Mormonism, and oral hygiene that spans the globe. From Singapore to Germany and back to Toronto, Extreme Dentistry explores love and loss, terrible workplaces, babysitting, and those seediest centres of monstrous activity both human and inhuman-shopping malls. Praise for the writing of Hugh A. D. Spencer "Hugh's work never fails to crack me up and make me think." ~ Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Homeland "Lucid, lyrical, and savvy." ~ Paul Levinson, author of Unburning Alexandria and The New New Media "If you like to laugh and cower at the same time-if you like science fiction that is simultaneously progressive and retro-then you need to read this... Like nothing I've ever read before. Highly recommended." ~ Dale Sproule, author of Psychedelia Gothique
