'Mad Duck and Hunter' and 'The Morphine King;' J.Michael Boutwell Goes from a Gory and Funny Hell on Earth, to His "Real Addiction Induced Morphin
Smyrna, DE (PRWEB) July 18, 2007 -- J. Michael Boutwell's first two works make you feel as though you are beside, and in some case's "inside" his characters and eerily inside the author's head. In "Mad Duck and Hunter", that's a good thing; but in "The Morphine King," it can be mentally disturbing and hard to take and will more than likely add a nightmare or two to your repertory.
In "Mad Duck and Hunter," Hunter awakens from a near death crash on his Harley to find that Earth is now over run by "clean up crews" that a master race of aliens have dropped off on Earth to collect humans as a food source for their young.
There is no government or Armed Forces now, there's just Hunter...or so he thinks. Enter Donald "Mad Duck" White, a young soldier home on leave from Iraq. He's military trained, but now, he's about to be "Hunter" trained. Together they pillage every Amory and Military base along the way and take every "bad ass" weapon they can find to fight the enemy. Alien technology can't quite keep up with the pure determination of two really pissed humans.
You're going laugh your butt off, you're going to feel a tear or two roll down your cheek; and did I mention that you'd laugh? Losing your planet isn't all that humorous, but damn it, sometime's it's in you and it just has to come out, know what I mean!
J. Michael's second piece "The Morphine King," is an episodic collection that is sure to become a cult classic collector item. It allows you to really see what happened (s) when he, in real life, became addicted to Morphine and Dilaudid after having lung cancer. He was intravenously fed Morphine and Dilaudid for nearly four months, day and night, around the clock. Opiate drugs work their way into the darkest corners of your mind and then makes a home there.There are no Morphine Police, no yellow "Do Not Cross Line" tape; all the lines get crossed. Try to picture yourself waking up with Jason, Freddy Kruger,The Marquee De Sade and Satan, all as one entity, running rampant inside your head and like evil little children with nowhere to release their evil, they find a new playground inside your dreams. These dreams are just doorways that lead to hellish nightmares.
Mr. Boutwell mentally endures almost every torture conceivable to the body, mind and soul due to his addiction. "The Morphine King" episodes are written using nothing but the actual nightmares that haunt him night after night, making it pretty much his autobiography.
In real life Boutwell has contemplated suicide many times due to his addiction to this deadly drug. His wife had to finally empty their home of all guns, knives, razors, and pretty much everything that has been used on him in his nightmares. In reality, he's used them as instruments of self destruction; again and again.
Boutwell has had to undergo years of psychotherapy and to this day is not only still addicted to Morphine, but is constantly medicated to control his sometimes bizarre and psychotic behavior. His mind ever wanders into the dark places that should be reserved only for sinners like the Hitler's and Hussein's. Even after thirteen years he is controlled by his all too lifelike nightmares. For once, real life horror has been put pen to paper and fantastically out does the fantasy that other writers try to conjure up as they write. Watch for episode two of "The Morphine King"
In his own words; "There ain't nothin like the real thing, baby"
