The bizarro prison s*x horror road trip exploding with alien invasion action!

Kenrick Brimley, the state prison's official gigolo, hangs over a lava pit on trial for his life in a strange land. He will reveal the course of his life one misguided step at a time for his captors. From his romance with serial arsonist Leena Manasseh to his lurid angst-affair with a lesbian music diva, from his ascendance as unlikely pop icon to otherworldly encounters, the one constant truth is that he's got no clue what he's doing. As unrelenting as it is original, Last Burn in Hell is John Edward Lawson at his most scorching intensity, serving up sexy satire and postmodern pulp with his trademark day-glow prose.

The Director's Cut edition includes:

*Deleted scenes

*Alternate ending

*Photo stills

*Remastering for more enjoyable viewing

*And more!

The critics agree:

"Last Burn in Hell is an exceptional creature as far as books go…Lawson is an exception to the business of comparison in that his voice is a worthwhile addition to the chorus of authors following the trend most prominently presented in Palahniuk's body of work. An earnest, but wry honesty in writing, exploring the paradoxes of our contemporary American society."—Scott Lefebvre for Icons of Fright"I like writers who say things that you're not supposed to say, and Lawson’s fiction is exhilarating in its anarchic rebelliousness—obscene, crude, sacrilegious, and explosively intelligent."—Write-aholic

"From hereon forth, I will not be able to bring up Vonnegut without speaking of Lawson. John Edward Lawson could contest the throne that Chuck Palahniuk sits upon with the masses of college students looking for something different, a voice of the counter-culture."—Skullring.org

"John Edward Lawson is very much a man of ideas (one need only read his poetry to understand that), and Last Burn in Hell: Director's Cut shows that not only is he constantly coming up with new ones, but he is also unlikely to run out of them anytime soon...it would very likely appeal to fans of The World According to Garp, and it deserves that large and diverse audience."—Somebody Dies"In Last Burn in Hell, John Edward Lawson takes us on an insane trip where predicting what happens next is virtually impossible. This book draws the reader in right from the beginning and continues to be laugh-out-loud funny and nightmarishly scary to the very end... It ranks right up there with other bizarro cult classics like Satan Burger."—The Swallow's Tail

Director's Note
Director's Note SO I WAS SITTING at a table in the local Todo Bell. There was a guy in a suit and sunglasses sitting nearby, reading a novel called The Book That Birthed Itself. It was really short, maybe 40 pages long. I went and acted like I was throwing something away just so I could read over his shoulder. The story featured some interesting characters and scenarios, but when it got to the end I was all like, “Man, what's wrong with these clowns—you can't end it on that note! What about X, Y, and Z?!" But I didn't say this. The man, he turned around and bared his teeth, probably because I'd been standing there for thirty minutes. He was creepy and stinky so I returned to my seat. Sitting there in a cold sweat, my food long removed by some “worker,” I contemplated what course of action to take. Grabbing a menu and a pen I scribbled my thoughts on how to improve the book. I suggested changing the title to The Last Burn in Hell, or maybe just Last Burn in Hell. I also pleaded with the reader to drop the suit and get some hygiene. Then I folded the note/menu into a paper airplane, threw it, and quite accidentally stabbed him in the eye—perhaps it was a bad idea to affix a shiv to the plane. During the commotion I was able to sweep in and take his book. Surprisingly, nobody stopped me on the way out. The prison's food court wasn't high security, but you couldn't easily blow up the spot either. Instead of crashing the execution like I usually would I went home, got to work. That was in March of 2001. I kept tinkering with the words for four years and now here we are. Thus, the half-baked product has finally become a hot potato. I hope you find the meditations on conformity, outrage, and self-determination within to be tastier than some Todo Bell carryout. To accompany the meal, might I suggest either Mad Dog ‘05—its piquant bouquet is delightful—or a can of kerosene. —John Edward Lawson, Landover Hills, 3/16/05 THAT WAS, OF COURSE, the book's introduction. Now, a year and a half later, I'm proud to present the film version of my vision. There were some bumps in the road to production, but I'm more than pleased with the results. Since this is my first film I'd love any feedback, especially regarding the extra features. If you have any comments or complaints just send a message to john@johnlawson.org ... thanks! John Edward Lawson, Landover Hills, 11/30/06
