About this title

Synopsis

Of Dan’s Design is a genre-bending mix of hot-blooded horror, literary thought and dark humor.

Tragedy and an unfulfilling career has middle-aged insurance salesman Dan fed-up. Fed-up with the virus of corporate greed and human apathy. Leaving his insurance gig and apartment behind, he disappears into the wilds of North Shadyton—seeking freedom from the pressures of “civilized” society—finding the virus inescapable.

Dan's journey to find universal harmony is aided by an upbeat, diverse, absolutely insane cast of characters (who do a little murderin’ along the way).

Revenge, liberation, justice. Philosophy, self-discovery and enlightenment. A story out of the ordinary for fans of Chuck Palahniuk and Mona Awad.

Of Dan’s Design will leave you in awe of it all.

About the Author

Rex is a hardworking dad from the small town of Hondo, Texas. He earned an associate's degree at the University of Arkansas-Pulaski Technical college, then after three years at the University of Arkansas Little Rock, Rex found his ambitions better served outside the walls of academia. From a place of struggle, he values his past and represents those spawning from the same side of the tracks. A student of life and human nature, Rex is in constant struggle with external narrative. In the grand scheme of things, he knows nothing.
