Day of the Milkman

S.T. Cartledge

4.9/5 (16823 ratings)

Description:In a world dominated by the milk industry, only one milkman remains after a terrible storm sinks all the ships and throws the Great White Sea out of balance. The storm has left HiLo, the last milkman, to endure the memories of a world that left him behind. Adrift upon a lonely sea in a lonely world, his search for food, drinkable milk, and survivors is soured by the ghosts of those he lost. But World Milk, HiLo’s former employer, left many secrets in its wake; with the company of a ghostly hologram woman, HiLo’s quest for answers might resurrect the once-glorious milk industry and return the world to creamy freshness. The day of the milkman is upon us. Praise for Day of the Milkman: “Cartledge’s genius lies in his ability to create surreal worlds so immersive that you can’t be sure whether you are reading them or dreaming them.” —G Arthur Brown, author of Kitten “I am totally comfortable calling S.T. a modern day Richard Brautigan for his consistently playful and arresting imagery. His word pictures are like Brom paintings.” —Jeremy Maddux, author of Open Lines and editor at Surreal Grotesque “Day of the Milkman is one of the weirdest damn things I’ve read. And I’m Garrett Cook.” —Garrett Cook, author of Time Pimp, Murderland, Jimmy Plush: Teddy Bear Detective, and Archelon Ranch “In Day of the Milkman, Cartledge continues to show us his depth and gives us a new glimpse into the breadth of his creative potential. Day of the Milkman doesn’t coast in on the latest cream-coated indy formula for success. This work isn’t a skim derivation of bizarro from preceding works in the genre. In this book, Cartledge carves his own path, rising above the ranks with vivid description, milk-laden metaphor, and high-quality storytelling.” —Kirk Jones, author of Uncle Sam’s Carnival of Copulating Inanimals and Journey to Abortosphere “S.T. Cartledge is one of those rare authors who seem to have an innate understanding of how the bizarro genre works and what needs to be done to deliver great stories. In Day of the Milkman, he starts by reinventing the shipwreck genre and ends up reinventing his own elegant prose. Sure, this is weird and has touches of science fiction, but it’s also proof that Cartledge will be a very relevant voice in strange fiction for a long time to come.” —Gabino Iglesias, author of Gutmouth “Lyrical, haunting, beautiful. Look out world—S.T. Cartledge has leveled up!” —Spike Marlowe, author of Placenta of LoveWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
