Genre: Contemporary fiction
FREEDOM CITY is an anti-Trump satire that pays homage to The Monkey Wrench Gang.
After Donald Trump unceremoniously dies from natural causes, four misfits from
Washington, D.C. who call themselves the Fearless Vampire Killers sever the heads of
Confederate statues and wage a comedic guerrilla war on post-Trump America. When
President Pence enlists droves of fascist volunteers to crush the “alt-left” uprising, the
rebels must risk their lives to run the fascists out of D.C.

What follows is not only a battle for survival—but a desperate search for remnants of
what once made America great.

Excerpt (First paragraph):
Despite the odium and widespread condemnation of Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the
United States of America, he passed with all the fanfare of a fart in a mesh sack. Medical
examiners said it was a thrombotic stroke, likely exacerbated by obesity and high blood
pressure. Some said cocaine and opioids had been found in his system, but these reports
were never confirmed. Trump was dead, and now it was time to start glossing over his dismal
legacy and perpetuating his vision, posthumously, for Making America Great Again…
