Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes wrote a young adult novel and it sounds fantastically weird

Seventeen-year-old Oscar Lester is never without his dog, Mr. Cigar. The two have made a pretty good life for themselves in North Texas, organizing drug-fueled dance parties with Oscars best friend, Lytle Taylor. The only real grownup in Oscars life is Carla Marks, protg of his deceased father and the genius behind the enigmatic IBC Corporation. (Oscars mom spends all of her time with her new boyfriend.) Carla doesnt approve of Oscars nefarious activity, though his parties provide an ideal environment to test-run some of IBCs more freakish technology. As for Oscars older sister, Rachel . . . shes been gone for the past five years, having fled after Mr. Cigar bit off her hand.

But Oscar knows that his dog is no menace. Mr. Cigar is a loyal protector: a supernatural creature that can exact revenge, communicate telepathically, and manipulate car doors and windows with ease. So when Rachelnow twenty-two and an artist living in New Yorkcalls out of the blue and claims that shes being held hostage, Oscar sees an opportunity to make things right between them . . . at least until Carla Marks warns Oscar that Mr. Cigars life might be in danger, too.

Suddenly Oscar finds himself on the run with his dog and his best friend.
