These are the true confessions of a Dirty Little Altar Boy—Brandon D. Christopher’s hilarious debut novel about coming of age while coming undone. It was 1985, and if you weren’t a diehard Knight Rider fan or kicked ass at Dungeons & Dragons then you probably wouldn’t survive long in the savage and perilous institution known as St. Charles Junior High School. It was a time for 8th graders who stuck firecrackers in cats’ asses, a time for pretending to be murdered to freak out the neighbors, and a time for realizing that no one really liked you. It was the perfect time for a Dirty Little Altar Boy.
Dirty Little Altar Boy, excerpt:
Seventh grade was a son of a bitch. Not exactly the numerical grade itself but the realization that it was Junior High—that I was in Junior High. I was now in that strange frontier of dating and hair mousse and social cliques, and the harbinger of high school itself: fashion. Fashion, what a son of a bitch.

From porn to retail to delivering dead bodies to mortuaries, these are the strange tales of The Job Pirate.
From the porn magazine to the moving truck to the dark sewers of California, Brandon Christopher’s journey in the American job market is not only absurd, but also full of wit and profound observations. He steps out from behind the driver’s wheel, the cash register, and the office desk to record the lighter and darker sides of humanity in the workplace. Christopher’s tale makes even the most mundane job seem fascinating and the most exciting career appear hum-drum and hollow. The Job Pirate strips off the façade of the average employee to see what is hidden underneath.
