Mick Farren: Jim Morrison's Adventures in the Afterlife
Jim Morrison's Adventures in the Afterlife: A Novel is really more a collection of character sketches and subplots all held together by their connection to the Lizard King's adventures in the hereafter. Aside from Morrison, Doc Holiday features in the story a variety of other characters from Egyptian gods to voodoo loas to the founder of the Foursquare Church. The book is filled with humor that requires a breadth of knowledge from pop trivia to historical minutiae - in other words, it's a lot of fun. The overall story is good and the subplots are interesting, but this book is about the characters and the characters are compelling.
