Beschreibung
Ignored on publication in the US and revered in Russia, Joe Clifford Faust's novels Ferman's Devils and Boddekker's Demons were a vision of advertising gone mad - decades before Don Draper and his cigarettes made the scene.Now the novels appear as Faust originally intended - in a single volume that keeps the story's impact between a single set of covers.In Fermans Devals you'll meet a 28 year-old copywriting prodigy who has almost everything he wants - except for a house and the most desirable woman at his advertising agency. The answer to his problems comes in the form of a street gang that he puts in a TV commercial. But everything has its price. Soon the gang is big as The Beatles - only The Beatles didn't leave a trail of dead bodies in their wake.This new presentation of the story also includes an introduction by the author, along with a bonus novelette that also takes place in the Pembroke Hall universe.REVIEWS FOR FERMAN'S DEVILS"e;A superior entertainment...

A struggling Everyman with a Chandleresque wit, Boddekker makes a winning protagonist... fiendishly good."e; - Starlog
