A Darkly Comic Journey into the Absurd with Slaphappy by Dug Brown
Dug Brown’s latest novel, Slaphappy, is a hilariously eccentric and daringly unpredictable tale that dives deep into the absurdities of human nature, morality, and the chaotic pursuit of fame. Set in a morally decaying society, Slaphappy follows the life of Bruiser, the irreverent host of the Atlanta-based internet game show Greed, where contestants are enticed to sacrifice their moral values for cash rewards.
This bold novel blends dark humor with elements of New Age smut, bringing readers a unique genre mashup that explores the fringes of human desires and moral boundaries. The novel takes an unexpected turn when Bruiser encounters Bootleg, a mysterious transient, during a show taping. After receiving a handful of change from Bootleg, Bruiser wakes up three days later with an uncanny ability: he can heal people by slapping them. What follows is a bizarre and darkly humorous journey across the country, as Bruiser embarks on a slap-fueled healing tour, raising questions about his sanity and whether his newfound power is a curse or a blessing.
As Bruiser slaps his way through moral dilemmas, addictions, and a deep-seated disdain for humanity, the novel explores complex themes, including the savior complex, societal decay, and the human obsession with finding heroes in the most unlikely places. His bizarre journey is further complicated by his growing relationship with Vanessa, his new producer, who sees the entertainment potential in his powers, yet senses a deeper purpose behind his strange gift.
Brown’s writing, reminiscent of satirists like Philip Roth and Ishmael Reed, takes readers on a thought-provoking, surreal, and often darkly comedic ride. Through Bruiser’s exploits, Slaphappy satirizes reality TV, the pursuit of the American Dream, and the fine line between good and evil.
Praise for Slaphappy
Slaphappy challenges readers to reflect on their own beliefs, fears, and anxieties through a blend of ultra-black humor, vivid surrealism, and characters who exist on the fringes of society. Bruiser’s story, while outlandish, embodies the darkest fears and desires of the modern world, creating a narrative that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.
With its irreverent tone and unpredictable twists, Slaphappy is a must-read for fans of dark comedy, New Age smut, and unconventional storytelling. Dug Brown’s unique voice, honed by years of bartending and transcendent spiritual practices, brings a raw, authentic edge to the novel, blending satire with a profound commentary on human nature.
Slaphappy is now available for purchase and promises to take readers on a wild, unforgettable journey.

Press Release
Cristobal Bull, Nowhere to Hide, The Islander, and What Mommy Doesn’t See Win April BREW Award
Australia, 1st May 2025, –
The Chrysalis BREW Project has announced the winners of the April 2025 BREW Readers’ Choice Award Book of the Month. The titles recognised this month are Cristobal Bull by Chris Corbett, Nowhere to Hide by Jude Austin, The Islander by David W. Berner, and What Mommy Doesn’t See by Karen Ledbetter.
Cristobal Bull by Chris Corbett was noted for its character construction and storytelling approach. The review from The Chrysalis BREW Project stated, “Corbett’s focus on the Bull’s past serves the story’s depth and flow well.” It also noted that the author “presents the Bull as a human being first, with motivations, history, and internal logic.”
Nowhere to Hide by Jude Austin was recognised for its exploration of interspecies dynamics and ethical complexity. The review highlighted, “The best parts of this book highlight what happens when two intelligent life forms attempt to understand each other without the option of walking away.”
David W. Berner’s The Islander was chosen for its portrayal of introspection and change. According to the review, the book is “not a travel story but a story of travelling inward, away from things, people, and situations, and toward clarity.”
Karen Ledbetter’s What Mommy Doesn’t See was recognised for its narrative focus and treatment of sensitive topics. The review noted that “Ledbetter handles sensitive scenes with a deliberate lack of over-dramatisation” and “presents the narrative from the child’s perspective without unnecessary exposition.”
