WHARGOUL - A web novel by Dave Brockie (Oderus from GWAR)

ok, not too many people know about Dave Brockie(oderus from GWAR) and his book "Whargoul". He turned me on to it sometime around 2000 at a bar down here in Corpus Christi on his laptop before a DBX show. After a long discussion about it and a BUNCH OF IMPORTED BEER, i copied it onto a floppy and took it home to read it after the show. In true N3cro form, i lost the fucking thing!!!!!!! But thankfully, the drunken bastard finally posted it on his site!(www.oderus.com)



"I came up with the idea for Whargoul while touring
Europe with GWAR in 1995. Over the next few
years I dribbled out my first novel, working in spurts of activity broken
up with indeterminable
months of wallowing. At one point I lost the hand-written original manuscript
and had to re-write it
from memory! The Whargoul project is my own personal hell-park in which my
imagination is totally
unfettered, and my lust for war is at last fulfil
Since
finishing the book in 1999, I have been trying
to find someone to help me publish it, but so far nothing has been worked
out and in fact my forays
into the world of horror and fantasy publishing have gotten me nowhere,
despite
the lame promises
given to me by many. I'll continue my search until I find a literary agent
who really wants to help me
and not just blow smoke up my ass. But I couldn't stand to leave something
I had worked so hard on
just rotting on my hard drive. So here's the whole damn thing for free.
It's about 160 pages if you want to print
it out."
