About the Book


"GODDAMN, this book fucked with my head. What a wild, sick, freewheeling mixture of eras, people and ideas. What an imagination!"
—Poppy Z. Brite,
bestselling author of Exquisite Corpse, Plastic Jesus and Lost Souls

"Maistros is an explosive new talent whose writing reverberates with color and subtle irony.One of the leading conspirators in horror´s newest generation."
—S.P. Somtow,
author of the horror classic, Vampire Junction and many others.

"Louis Maistros has an original and dark vision, full of power. THE BIG PUNCH is disturbing, visceral, captivating, and shocking."
—Douglas Clegg,
bestselling author of The Nightmare Chronicles, Halloween Man and You Come When I Call You


About the Author

Louis Maistros resides in the New Orleans Eighth Ward neighborhood with his wife, two kids, four dogs, two cats, one snake, a small family of mice (for the snake) and a hamster named Mitch. Mitch is in no imminent danger of the snake. Mr. Maistros is visited by voices at night and has trouble sleeping. He is currently seeking an exorcism.


"THE BIG PUNCH is just that -- a solid, hard, uppercut of a story that, once started, cannot be stopped. It tells of Jack Dellus´s strange journey through lifelike dreams and dreamlike life, encountering freaks and non-freaks without being able to tell one from another. It is a dark, surreal tale of good and evil; classic in its substance but brand new in its form. The characters are sharp and well formed, the descriptions ripe and brittle. Louis Maistros is a fresh voice sounding like a seasoned veteran, writing with feeling. THE BIG PUNCH is destined to become a classic."
