Baltimore, MD- Apprentice House Press has recently released Karl Dehmelt’s Daft Mejora’s Infinite Madness, Dehmelt’s debut Science Fiction novel. Daft Mejora explores the world of high schooler DJ Jones as he navigates life with his QAnon-obsessed father, president Moe Wyden, and contact with alien Daft One, who was sent to study the Earth. Satirizing American society through contemporary themes, the novel explores humanity’s cyclical tendency of self-destruction from the perspective of a teenage boy.
Praise for the Karl Dehmelt Novel:
“Evoking “Breakfast of Champions” in the best possible way, Karl Dehmelt casts a satirical alien’s-eye-view on a recent, unfinished history Americans know all too well… intense and dizzying, even frightening at times, but then again all the best drugs are.”
- Thaddeus Gunn
” … a scathing piece of trenchant brilliance … an absurd and astonishingly poignant portrait of modern-day America … with the comedically lyrical lines of Tom Robbins and savage turns of phrase that would make Hunter S. Thompson tip his cap, Dehmelt stands on the shoulders of giants… this romp of a political screed will have you hysterical in more ways than one.”
- The Independent Review of Books
“If you like political satire, science fiction, and owls who wax poetic, you’ll find your next favorite with Daft Mejora’s Infinite Madness.”
- The Independent Book Review
“I see Dehmelt’s satire as having a similar style and feel as R. Crumb’s work. If “Daft Mejora’s Infinite Madness” were a graphic novel, I envision its characters would resemble R. Crumb’s iconic look. They both use their artistic genius to bring a consciousness to society’s problems. The novel is entertaining and thought-provoking and a screed of contemporary America.”
