The Devil Wears Black Leather and Other Stories from Hell 

  NEW RELEASE:

In New York, the narrator is a writer making ends meet by taking side jobs that include writing the “porn cards” for Las Vegas escort services. You can find his work littered up and down the strip of Las Vegas. His friends? Jagger is a bisexual art dealer who spends most his time at strip clubs and the racetrack. Izzy is very pale and believes he is turning into a vampire and is often found at a club in TriBeCa named BITE. Discussions and thoughts around fame versus success consume their lives and often discussions (except when consuming handfuls of Ambien or shooting insulin).

In Las Vegas, Elvis Eddie is working the impersonator circuit: bachelorette parties, off-strip Elvis-O-Rama appearances, as well as numerous tribute shows. What sets this Elvis apart from the others is not his refusal to meet Nic Cage, but rather his unique (wine corkscrew, saran wrap, etc…) murders on those he finds morally wrong.

Back in NY, our narrator meets a girl who may or may not be the devil, named Lucy. Immediately his life starts looking up with invitations to the right parties, publisher interest, and money. Our narrator eventually takes a meeting in Vegas where he meets Elvis Eddie and becomes at odds with the serial killer. The story climaxes in a showdown with Elvis and a possible deal with the devil.

"Stuck somewhere between J.D. Salinger, Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis, author David S. Grant delves into the life of a modern misanthrope whose drug usage would make Hunter S. Thompson envious. Grant's laid-back style makes the misadventures of Jeremy and his drug addled buddies an easy pill to swallow. David S. Grant is an author to watch.”
—Stefan Halley, Pop Syndicate

What would Stephen Tyler do?

Mickey, an ex-adult movie star turned supermodel, has to choose between two Johnsons—should he align himself with fashion icon Paul Johnson, the cigar smoking, micromanaging, chainsaw wielding megalomaniac, or Sandy Johnson, the flamboyant, murderous, vindictive narcissist? Which designer can propel Mickey to the top of Seventh Avenue? While trying to land his dream runway job, Mickey is thrown into the center of a scene where sex is often the motivation, the wine is served by year, and cocaine is back in full force.

The Final Chapter

"Bleach and its sequel Blackout are going on my favorite reads of the year. These aren’t happy stories and there isn’t too much uplifting metaphor behind the story, but satisfying? Oh yes, that it was. This is a keeper and will find a nice home on my shelf between Bret Easton Ellis and Jay McInerney—I think it will find this a cozy spot."

Corporate Porn

Silverthought.jpg

Silverthought Press

Corporate Porn, a novel by NYC author David S. Grant, is an alcohol- and sandwich-fueled romp through the darker side of corporate America and the lighter side of the adult film industry. Grant's voice displays a brilliant wit interspersed with moments of vicious social commentary as he leads us from the hopeless cubicles of the business world to the Speedo-laden sands of South Beach, along the way introducing us to a cast of disenchanted young men and women (and somewhere in between) who find redemption in an unlikely place—the burgeoning adult film industry of Omaha, Nebraska. Filled with memorable characters and dialogue that cuts to the heart of the first decade of the new century, Corporate Porn is a must-read for anyone who's ever struggled under a project deadline or thought about running away to Paris to shoot cowboy porn.
