Slim and The Beast: 10th Anniversary Edition

Coming November 2025

Two best friends, a country bar, a famous burger, and a bloodstained floor.

This coming-of-age tale isn’t for the faint of heart. Sergeant Chandler Dykes is obsessed with two misfits: Slim, a disillusioned war veteran with a brutal neck scar, and Hugh Dawton-Fields, AKA The Beast, a seven-foot UNC basketball player with a proclivity for Southern cooking.

Slim and The Beast is an adult fable about male intimacy, the pursuit of passion, and the myriad ways in which men in the USA can either transcend or succumb to that nation’s unresolved and violent past.

Originally published by Inkshares in 2015, the author retained his publishing rights in 2022 to release this definitive 10th anniversary edition, published by Kingdom Anywhere in Paris.
