CLAYPOOL
writer / researcher / activist
LEECH GIRL LIVES, Rick's debut novel, is now available on Amazon.com.
Advance praise for LEECH GIRL LIVES:
"A maximalist revolution in minimalist prose — if China Mieville wrote Saturday-morning cartoons."
-Nick Mamatas, author of I Am Providence and Sensation
"Wild and strange and endlessly entertaining; an epic post-apocalyptic cartoon dream-satire — like an Adult Swim version of Logan's Run meets The Matrix in the world of "Thundarr the Barbarian." One of a kind!"
-Ben Loory, author of Tales of Falling and Flying
"Leech Girl Lives is a lot of fun - a romp through B movie territory in the best way, full of sci-fi and horror and a nice throwback sensibility, too." - Amber Sparks, author of The Unfinished World
"Art world conspiracies at the warped twilight of civilization! Think Jonathan Lethem and Douglas Adams at a dinner party thrown by Judy Chicago. Leech Girl Lives offers an amped up vision of the reckless future."
-Tom Sweterlitsch, author of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and The Gone World
