About this audiobook
Would you dance with the Devil in New York City?
Even if she wanted to kill you?
A wild, intimate, literary novel written in the tradition of Denis Johnson, Charles Bukowski, and Hunter S. Thompson, each chapter of American Blasphemer delivers new characters and unforgettable experiences - a knife fight with a sex addict, a psychedelic family Christmas, a Cathedral burning in Manhattan, a midnight visit to Elvis's grave, and more.
This debaucherous but heartfelt tale culminates in a showdown with a tattooed witch who tries to get the writer to join her coven after meeting him at a rock concert in Times Square.
★★★★★ "Love this new book. Refreshing to read, long on the memory. Images that stick with you. Emotion that cuts through. Fabulous." -CharlieGo, reviewer.
★★★★★ "The writing is excellent. Vivid. Wild. Honest. Gillen could write the user manual for a printer and make it hard to put down." -Twitchard, reviewer.
★★★★★ "Incredible plot. Well written. Original, yet relatable. This is my new favorite book." -Cody DeWees, reviewer.
★★★★★ "If I were still teaching lit, I would add this book to the optional reading list." -Kindle Reviewer
★★★★★ "This unabashedly honest romp with heartbreak will satisfy readers who are looking for a story of self-discovery under psychedelic circumstances...This delightfully lecherous debut is a masterful exercise in debauchery, understanding religious interpretations, and coping with heartbreak." - BookLife Review
