Meet Roscoe Baragon–crack
reporter at a major (well, maybe not that major)
metropolitan newspaper.
Baragon covers what is
affectionately called the Kook Beat–where the
loonies call and tell him in
meticulously deranged detail what it’s like to live in their bizarre and lonely world. Lately Baragon’s been writing stories about voodoo curses and alien abductions; about fungus-riddled satellites falling to earth and thefts of plumbing fixtures from SRO hotels by strange aquatic-looking creatures. Not exactly
New York Times material.
Maybe it’s the radioactive corpse that puts him over the edge. Or maybe it’s the guy who claims to have been kidnapped
by the state of Alaska! But Baragon is now convinced that a vast conspiracy is under way that could take the whole city down–something so deeply strange that it could be straight out of one of the old Japanese monster movies that he watches every night before he goes to sleep. But stuff like this only happens in the movies. Right?
The Buzzing marks the fictional debut of the acclaimed author of
Slackjaw. It is a novel of deep paranoia and startling originality. And it could certainly never happen. Right?
Right?.
