CL Bledsoe

If You Love Me, You’ll Kill Eric Pelkey

Mark is a disgruntled adjunct professor and middling poet. One night at a reading, he meets Donna, a walking hurricane who challenges him out of his complacency into a passionate love affair. But it’s not enough for them to have each other when the world is being destroyed by billionaires and corruption. When Mark discovers that a grad. school professor stole Donna’s work, the pair hatch an insane plan for revenge and a shot out of the beige world they feel themselves sinking into.

“Using the same minimalist-yet-engaging voice that drew readers into the rock and roll immediacy of THE SAVIORS and raked us across the coals of hardscrabble day-to-day brutality in NOBODY’S DARLINGS, CL Bledsoe takes us on a whole new journey—through a pastiche of economic dead ends, the craziness of the collegiate rat race, the chaos and mayhem of political direct action, and…possible kidnapping and murder plots…? The fun starts when our hero, a beaten-down adjunct instructor meets Donna, a wildcard poet and activist who can best be described as The Manic Pixie Dream Girl on bath salts. Her impetuous madness leads him into trouble, and then more trouble, and…well, you’d best discover the rest for yourself. IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU’LL KILL ERIC PELKEY is a wild ride that is both disturbing and hilarious, and it belongs on your Must Read list.

-C.F. Roberts, Author of THE MEAT FACTORY AND OTHER STORIES
