You know you're reading "on the edge" when poultry meat processing has become a team sport rivaling the NFL and FIFA. But, personally, that's what I like about self proclaimed ne're-do-well Green's forays where no satirist has gone before. His plunderous bounty of crazy characters, turbulent plot twists and scalpel sharp barbs is a just reward.
As always, make sure your seat belt is snuggly fastened and your seat backs and tray tables are in their full, upright and locked position. In the event of rapid decompression, place your oxygen mask on first--but, then again, there really shouldn't be any children along on this ride.

Fowl Play Kindle Edition
Voted Best Indie Comedy 2018
Ladies' man Josiah Joshua Jordan King is a rising star for the Trafford Titans in the new and wildly popular sport of Chicker. But he's also a professional hitman and union buster on behalf of the league's management. With the European Championship final against Barcelona looming, he gets wind of a filthy commie plot to scupper the whole shebang. Can he lead his team to victory while neutralizing the Reds, or will his dreams of international glory be thwarted by a faceless conspiracy that threatens civilization itself?
A mutant cross-breed of Rollerball, The Wicker Man and Chicken Run, Fowl Play is satirist Jay Spencer Green at his weirdest and most outrageous, a laugh-out-loud dark comedy in which the headless chickens are not confined to the farmyard.

About the author
Follow authors to get new release updates, plus improved recommendations.

Rabelaisian, Experimental, Inventive, and Fun, the novels of Jay Spencer Green are like Goya's Black Paintings in literary form, the kind of enjoyment you get looking into somebody else's abyss to avoid looking into your own.
Comparisons have been made with Kurt Vonnegut, J. G. Ballard, William Burroughs, and the Marquis de Sade, none of them favourable.

Rich, tight, clever, and absurdly funny
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2019Verified Purchase
A wonderful mash of genres in a dark and hilarious near-future satire on, well, everything. It twists and turns through murder, unlikeable characters you love, and sport unlike anything you've known as sport yet exactly like the sports you know.
