NEW RELEASE
One drink.
And you can create an artistic masterpiece. Fame. Fortune. A legacy.
But shortly thereafter you may die.
Do you still drink? Maybe a sip.
Maybe a swish.
It’s just water, right?
A literary dramedy in the vein of Vonnegut, Palahuink, and Monty Python.
“Cutting, savage, and soulful. NSFW is one of those rare works of speculative fiction that succeed in making the near future feel like the recent past, thereby allowing us to imagine we’ve made it across the cusp and into the brave new world with some of our humanity intact. As vivid and courageous a reckoning with the territory ahead as any we’re likely to find.”
The New House
“As a futurist, Hay has vision. As a populist, a story. As a satirist, venom.”
from his Introduction to [NSFW]. City of Human Remains, The White Airplane &
Horror Academy: Two Plays
“NSFW is a fever-dream indictment of social media culture and violence, smart phone addiction, and the exploitation of workers by unethical corporations. It’s satirical and violent, dark and strange, and the ways in which the main characters self-medicate to live in this dystopian now are at once curious and entertaining and deeply sad. All of these elements combine to make NSFW one of my favorite books of the year and David Scott Hay one of my favorite writers, period.”

“This scribe has a great linguistic flair.” Variety
“A mercurial talent.”
Jay Bonansinga, The Walking Dead novels
“Hay’s tonal mimicry of Fight Club (1996) author Chuck Palahniuk is astonishing.”
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“DSH has a taut, bristling writing style stacked with compelling ideas.” New City Journal
