The Interstellar Frequency of the Holy Heretic
Hungover and feeling hopeless, Protagonist Whatnot awakens from a dream so commonplace that it appears as reality to the dreamer. He soon discovers that some seemingly extraterrestrial object with the face of an old radio receiver has invaded his sphere, and it has much to say about the nature of existence and the possibilities of utopia. Convinced his mind has fled ahead of him, Protagonist attempts to drown the invasive voice beneath a wave of crashing inebriation. But it will not let him be. Reaching out to the nearest ear in a bar one afternoon, Protagonist lets it spill about his haunted encounters. Doppler Carbon, a man with life-problems of his own, decides that the power this radio-thing yields must be the key to his own wealth and sovereignty, and P. Whatnot is all that stands in his way. A hunt ensues upon the episodic road of extemporaneous adventures, replete with disaster, variegated characters sagacious and absurd, and a continuous tug-of-war between safety and harried searching--a path which will inevitably lead Mr. Whatnot through the American south where two brothers have waged a war of their own upon shopping malls and the patrons and pedestrians therein, guiding him to the threshold of the Promised Land where the well-being of humanity as a whole waits to be decided in microcosm. This is The Interstellar Frequency of the Holy Heretic, everything is its nature, and it's coming right for us.
