The Eternal Echo is a terrifying story, equal parts literary and horror. Doctor David Ravensdale is a madman who conducts an experiment by adopting a baby and raising him from infancy to adulthood, strictly by use of technology. The Good Doctor believes he is attempting to discover the key to the human psyche, and conducting one of the most significant experiments known to man. In actuality, he's raising a murderous monster. The Eternal Echo is a millennial mix of Frankenstein and American Psycho. You will never look at your computer the same way again. "This book was a wild ride. Eternal Echo made me think, freaked me out, and most of all made me wish that more people could write like Jeff Musillo. This one has cult classic written all over it." - Brian Whitney, author of Raping the Gods

"Winterland is a no-holds-barred tale of a young man who stops at nothing to save a small ski town from falling into the hands of corporate America. If you've ever lived in a ski town this is a must read." -Todd Jones, filmmaker, Teton Gravity Research For Easy Ed Stallings, the past few years have been one long party. Now he's dead broke, and has to flee his home - a decrepit trailer near, but not quite in, Key West. But on his last night in town, he suddenly strikes it rich. While he's out fishing in the mangroves, drug smugglers give him $60,000 worth of marijuana for pointing out where the cops are. It's a pittance to them - a king's ransom to him. Soon Ed finds himself the owner of Trappers, the only real bar in run-down, ramshackle Winterland, Colorado, a town on the verge of going under and fading into the collective memory of the West. In Winterland, the cattle yard has closed. Nearly everyone is out of work. The town has nothing going for it, except one thing. It gets 400 inches of snow a year. The local ski area - nearly bankrupt itself - attracts a growing stream of twentysomething ski bums, vagabonds, dope smokers and freaks. As the ski season approaches, they navigate the high mountain passes and into town; traveling in old cars, VW buses and camper vans. They come not so much because the skiing is exceptional, but because the rents are cheap. They can ski all winter without sleeping in their cars, without begging on the sidewalks, and without making meals out of saltine crackers and free condiment packets. Texas oil magnate Nut Richards wants to change all that. Richards is going to buy the ski area and half the town at distress sale prices, then subdivide the whole place and turn it into a second-rate Aspen or Vail. Part of his plan includes driving the ski bums, and people like Ed Stallings, out of town. Ed and his friends - bartender Danny Stewart, rabblerousing ex-hippie reporter Kent Jennings, and three young women who run the local burrito joint and call themselves Tres Hermanas - band together in a desperate battle against the Big Money that wants to take away their town, and erase a way of life. "A carved up mogul run of money and drugs, big deals, bad decisions, high stakes and higher times." -Charles Graeber, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Nurse "A bright, funny and brilliant novel." - John Ennis, actor, Mr. Show

From the author's life as a sex addict comes a bizarre black comedy about power trips, insanity, and the dark side (as opposed to the light and happy side) of sex addiction. Brian Whitney - a dissolute, dead broke, alcoholic writer in Portland, Maine - is hired to ghostwrite the memoirs of Dylan, a deranged, fantastically wealthy sex addict, who lives in Samoa with his two female sex slaves. Dylan's had a profound spiritual awakening during a vision quest he went on with a local tribe. He thinks he met God. Actually, he thinks he met God and had sex with Him. Raped Him, in fact. Working with Dylan is the job Whitney's been waiting for. He can hardly wait to get started. There's only one catch. Well, two catches. One is that Whitney must travel to Samoa, to hear Dylan's stories, to live as Dylan does, drunk and high for days on end, with his own personal sex slave, so he can understand the world how Dylan sees it. Two is he must bring with him a photograph of an aging former porn star, nude, passed out, and wearing a moose hat. Whitney can get the photograph. But can he really live as Dylan does? Can he bring himself to take possession of another person, a slave so abject she will carry out every command, no matter how humiliating? What follows is a strange journey into the dark heart of man, in particular one man who lives as an all-powerful god upon the earth. "Brian Whitney's first novel is weird, surreal, and at times so laugh-out-loud funny that you will cough up your breakfast. Imagine if Hunter Thompson and William S. Burroughs went upriver in a Navy patrol boat to visit Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now. The result would be a lot like Raping the Gods." - Patrick Quinlan, bestselling author of Sexbot, Smoked, and All Those Moments
