| Jeffrey Thomas first
seduced readers to the world of Punktown through
a short story collection of the same name,
bending time and technology to create a futuristic
world which felt more real than our own. Everybody
Scream! continues the seduction with characters
every bit as vibrant only this time each person's
story collides with the others in a dizzying
thrill-ride of a novel.
It's the final day of the
season for the annual Punktown Fair and
excitement is high. For the couple in charge,
Del and Sophi Kahn, it's a bittersweet day
of transition. Little do they realize the
trials they will face and how severely this
one day will test their relationship. In
fact, closing day seems to be a catalyst
for many Punktown residents; drawing them
in, stirring them up and letting them loose
on each other.
This roller coaster tale
builds to a peak of expectation then plummets,
twisting and turning, a breathtaking juggernaut
to the final chapters with plenty of screams
and giggles along the way.

What
people are saying about Everybody Scream!:
“Thomas introduces a variety of interesting and well- developed characters whose lives collide at the carnival for a night of murder and mayhem. What makes Everybody Scream! interesting is that the characters are fully developed, with both strengths and moments of weakness. Punktown feels like Frank Miller's Sin City, with a good dose of science fiction thrown in…Recommended.”
—Monster Librarian
"Jeffrey
Thomas tells a great story. Everybody
Scream is sensual, slow and easy, like
making love on a hot summer afternoon, and
comes to an equally fiery climax. Come to
Punktown; have a great time, but make sure
you come armed."
Horror
World
"With
a practically limitless (and virtually unexplored)
landscape on which to paint onthe
planet of Oasisand a vast supply of
bizarre characters, Thomas' Punktown saga
could be as popular and long-lived as series
like Robert Asprin's Phule's Company saga
and Green's aforementioned Deathstalker
sequence. Alex, the savage, sex-crazed protagonist
of the Burgess classic, unintentionally
describes Everybody Scream! perfectly:
"
a real kick and good for laughs
and lashings of the old ultraviolent."
SFReader
"The
results are alternately hilarious and terrifying
As
in his earlier works, Thomas uses techniques
and ideas pioneered by Lovecraft to make
caustic social observations about humanity,
in particular our exploitation of other
species."
Publishers
Weekly
"Jeffrey Thomas has
a surreal ability to get to the heart and
deep in the headspace of every emotion his
characters experience
Full of edge,
honesty, pain, and eroticism, it will satisfy
any insatiable appetite looking for a damn
fine read."
Gothic Review
"Jeffrey Thomas has
created an intricate and thoroughly engrossing
world
here, one that digs deep and lingers. Whether
you're a stranger to Punktown
or a long time resident, this book will
peel the lead paint off the inside
of your skull."
