Luke struggles for his place in a world of drunks, junkies, whores and bodybuilders. An insane world that treats him as a freak. As this hostile society pushes him towards the edge, Luke has to choose between holding on to his gentle ideals or becoming the merciless soldier his mother always wanted him to be.

Whenever there’s trouble, send The Middle Finger! Dennis, an awkward teenager, finds himself down on his luck when he’s held back from school, while his friends have moved on and started college. As if that’s not bad enough, he finds his world is turned upside down when he’s visited by a being from another world and transformed into a superhero, tasked with saving the world. The problem is, he’s got no clue how to use his powers, no idea how to find his enemy and on top of everything, his head has been turned into a giant hand giving the finger!
 
(dir. David Hollinshead, Phil Thompson)
Lorraine believes there’s a lost portal to another world in Essex, Great Britain. As she explores time and space with her friends and family, will she be proven wrong or vindicated?

When a group of survivors take refuge in a friend’s home to protect themselves from the zombie apocalypse, they must learn to confront and destroy not only the evil lurking on the outside, but also the menace that stalks them from within!

Bear Manor Media Presents: “PESTS” A fictional book by Lloyd Kaufman, Jordan Young and Regina Katz

PESTS

Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!

KindlePaperbackHardcover

Independent film studio Troma Entertainment, has released their second book of fiction, PESTS, with publisher Bear Manor Media on the imprint Bear Manor Bare.

From the twisted minds of Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Entertainment, Jordan Young, and Regina Katz comes … PESTS!   A titanic story about Phil, a down & out underdog exterminator, and the freak accident that changed his life.    Phil decides during his convalescence that he will use his newfound power for good – –  and disrupt the corrupt corporate film interests that threaten the only things he’s ever loved: movies. This book explores the seedy underbelly of the Hollywood elites and plays against the notion of what or who the troublesome “Pests” of our society really are.
