The Apocalypse of Lloyd

A clever but obnoxious teen (think Youth in Revolt's Nick Twisp) is stuck in his parents' basement during a uniquely literary yet crowd-pleasing apocalypse. It involves not zombies but a breakdown in general logic and order. Lloyd's mother, a William Blake scholar, goes mad in a flurry of Blakean invective. Lloyd's neighbour clips toenails on her lawn. An acting group believes a tribute to Dennis Hopper might save the world.



Mayhem, murder and forced cuckolding are kept on the periphery while Lloyd's picayune concerns over allotments of Diana Sauce are rendered in lavish detail. Gradually, the unchecked lust of the adolescent male turns out to be the primary horror.



Lloyd narrates from hell, making the novel a morality play in which Lloyd's selfishness and infidelities ultimately mire him in the pit for eternity. The book is a high-wire act blending ribald farce, horror, and heartfelt elegy, the emotional core of which is Lloyd's sadness over lost friendships and lost youth, brought into painful focus by the nearing end.
