Overview

Welcome to the Dark Carnival of Futurism... One dark, windy supermoon night in the near future, a woman's ill-timed tarot question rips open a portal between dimensions, unleashing cosmic chaos. Step right up to Venice Peach, a flamboyantly freakish circus on the gritty Venice Beach boardwalk, where bizarre talents and mind-bending spectacles are just the beginning. Get lost in a funhouse maze of reality-shattering events and untamed, sex-fueled showdowns. Featuring a cast of gonzo characters tee-tottering on the slippery slope of ambition, only to be thrown wildly off-course by creepy canal creatures, zombie seagulls, and a robot president-this is a fast, raunchy ride with enough twists to leave you twisted. No glitches, no guts, no glory.

""With a cast of really-deep-thought-spouting misfits- including robots, aliens, monsters, shrunken heads and a 'conspiracy' of beautiful women-Venice Peach is a funny, irreverent, adrenalin-fueled and 'sex-centric' phantasmagoria of a love letter to Venice Beach. 'Shut the fuck up, do cool shit, ' and read this book!"" - Francesca Lia Block, Weetzie Bat and House of Hearts ""Uh-oh! A TikTok time bomb has burst the Superdoom Portal. Nothing, it seems, can stop the haywire L.A Hellscape seen by Jessamyn Violet - twisted visionary extraordinaire."" - Jack Skelley, The Complete Fear of Kathy Acker ""Hold on to your hats! Jessamyn Violet is taking us to some truly unexpected places with the release of her new alternative mind-bender of a novel, Venice Peach. Nothing is what it seems in this funny, terrifying, episodic head trip into a futuristic Southern Californian Never-Neverland. With its extraordinary cast of characters, it is graphic, brutal and darkly comic. In the best possible way, Venice Peach is the thing nightmares are made of! Jessamyn rises again!"" - Curtis Armstrong, actor and author of Revenge of the Nerd ""Sex drugs and rock n' roll is only the beginning here. Add astrology, robot politicos, witchcraft, sleazy podcasts, aquatic creatures, telepathy and a kaleidoscope of beach-dwelling misfits to get a sense of the satirical carnivalesque future world that's so fun and compelling to inhabit in Venice Peach."" - Duncan Birmingham, author of The Cult in My Garage ""Venice Peach is a sex-fueled, sci/fi fantasy romp through the streets, alleys, bars, canals and boardwalks of Venice Beach... While the scenarios are often out of this world, the relationships between the characters-as well as their longings and ambitions-are authentic and relatable... an unflinching psychedelic adventure with a human heart."" - Razorcake ""Movie Club drummer and super-talented writer Violet has a gift for seeing the magic of her home haunt of Venice, CA and realizing it through fantastical tales... Just read it."" - Music Connection Magazine ""This is the kind of book that pretends like it wants nothing more than to give you a good time, but then by the end you find yourself super inspired and even kinda weepy, drunk on love for all that is strange and good and real in this world, and in this city. If we are, in fact, tee-tottering on the edge of a facist/climate crisis/AI apocalypse, there's nowhere else I'd rather be than in the Venice Beach of Jessamyn Violet's Venice Peach."" - Hobart
