The Appetite of Floyd

by Joe Schlegel

Overview

BOOK 1. Corruption and violence built Middleville, a dystopian Midwest city. Godrick Jasper floats along between jobs and unemployment, and it's harder to keep the roof over both their heads. His decision to join a bank robbery seems the easiest way to get a little ahead. He didn't expect to be double-crossed and left behind to take the fall.

Conflicting legacies between Godrick's father and grandfather create a curse that snatches control of his destiny. The curse drags him through harrowing events with seemingly no regard for his own safety, especially against the rivaling attention of two serial killers. As bodies begin to fall all around him, Godrick must fight and outwit both murderers to save his life and the life of the woman he loves.

About the Author

Joe Schlegel (b. 1984) lives in Miamisburg, Ohio, and graduated from Xenia High School in 2002. For twelve years, he bounced back and forth between a myriad of jobs - independent music store clerk, carpet cleaner, sports merch and collectibles, ice cream hauler, payroll advance stooge, pizza maker, photo lab manager, factory drone. But despite the erratic job history, Schlegel found solidarity in a story idea he'd created when he was 16.

After finding himself unemployed in 2012, Schlegel sat down to work on what would become his debut novel, "The Appetite of Floyd." He later published numerous books in the same series, though he never looked much beyond selling them over the counter at a gas station where he worked.

In the early weeks of 2018, he decided to take his writing hobby seriously, and began to re-release his titles with a much more professional approach. The first four books in Schlegel's projected nine-part series have been met with incredibly positive reviews, some drawing comparisons to Stephen King and Thomas Harris. His attention to suspenseful details and ability to surprise the reader have left his growing fan base demanding more.
