Book Description

Author Jesse James Freeman delivers a comic book for the ages in novel form with this wild, tongue-in-cheek, imaginative creation that will suspend your disbelief. Jump in if you're looking to immerse yourself in a unique and original fantasy tale with a sick twist....Billy Purgatory dares you to join him.

Billy Purgatory happens to be the most badass skateboarder and sweet talker any broad can meet--even at the age of ten. He is also the target of supernatural forces he can't understand, and doesn't want to.

Billy just can't seem to avoid all things Monster. Growing up, he encounters Devil Birds, gypsies, Time Zombies and vampires (and not the kind you want to bring home to your Pop, either). He tries to convince himself they're not real by joining the army, fixing cars and even going to Vegas. But whenever Billy thinks he's put it all behind him, a monster shows up, and it's usually in the form of the beautiful Anastasia...

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Billy Purgatory! December 21, 2011
By Mellody
Format:Kindle Edition
I'm really picky about fantasy stories, it's hard to find one that I can really suspend my disbelief for and immerse myself in... so I was completely blown away by Billy Purgatory. The characters are awesome and the author's writing is incredibly tasteful and engaging. Not only is this an exciting adventure book but the author has a great sense humor and a gift for telling stories. I'm crossing my fingers that more will be available from this author soon and in the meantime, I will be recommending it to all of my friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Review... December 19, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was lucky enough to get to read this amazing book before it went to press. When i read the 1st draft i was BLOWN AWAY!! I read lots of titles and this one kept my attention all the way through!!! Lots of action and intrigue as well as suspense. If you like Zombies and Vampires as well as Skateboards with a sick love twist then this is your book!! Bill will keep you on the edge of your seat and then asking the author when will the next installment be finished??? Take it from me, a very good read for a first time author in the morass of junk titles out there. Billy Purgatory is well worth the $3.99 and then some!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pyrotechnic style and great characters April 20, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
The first few pages of Billy Purgatory seal the deal. You quickly realize that this is no ordinary skatekid, vampire, monster, devil bird book. Billy Purgatory is a phantasmagorical thrill ride into a world of teenage love, blood dripping undead and one of the most outrageously entertaining birth scenes ever written. More than merely a humorous, stylish foray into the horror genre, however, this book also resonates with themes of love, loss and acceptance of the way that life can hold us back, even break us. The last thing you might expect about so entertaining and imaginative a book like this is how touching and ultimately true it is. If there is something about Billy Purgatory that might not work for some readers, it might be the book's episodic/dreamlike structure that doesn't move like a standard linear plot. But that shouldn't stop anyone from grabbing a copy of Billy and going for a wild ride!
