Four years ago Adrienne Jones published a short novella called Temple of Cod; a darkly humorous psychological thriller about a painter held captive at a beach cottage by creatures both real and imagined. This limited edition chapbook sold out faster than expected, and reader reviews poured in, asking that grating question authors despise when they think they’ve aptly concluded a story…So what happened next?

Finally answering that question with a vengeance, Jones has expanded Temple of Cod into a three-part, full length novel version of the original chapbook. The result is Brine, the complete story of Elliot Newton and the shocking, amusing and periodically obscene source of his paranormal afflictions.

"…Brine is a marvel to behold; smart, funny, weird, endlessly inventive, and often time jaw-dropping in its energy and originality. I've never read anything quite like it, so I know you've never read anything quite like it, because I read a lot…Adrienne Jones is without a doubt one of the most original, flamboyant, and exciting new writers to emerge this century. I also think that she is evil. Look at that cute-little-girl author's photo in the back. She's not fooling anyone. She wants to take on the world. After reading Brine, you'll agree: it would be an even match."
