About the Book

Forenk, the unlucky son of pig farmers, shamed into leaving home as an outcast, begins an odyssey to uncover his destiny as the last mortal capable of fathering divine beings. Along the way he meets his guardians and companions, erotic angels and slightly deranged magic-users who attempt to protect Forenk from his nemesis, a wrathful witch goddess and her demons, including a possessed psycho squirrel ancestor spirit, whose aim is to win back the lands lost in time out of mind. The Goddess of Pigland is a humorous and mature illustrated satire of the hero's journey, mythic archetypes and the fantasy genre. An legendary epic filtered through absurd humor and Freudian dreams. The Goddess of Pigland would be generally classified as fantasy satire. It is written with ironic and sometimes pointed humor, especially in poking fun at heroic archetypes. A true hero's journey takes place under the veneer of comedy as the story touches on real issues of human emotion and growth. The narrative becomes more complex and the characters develop accordingly as the plot progresses. Spinkled into this archaic setting are moments of gritty violence and even a bit of horror, however, the story consistently returns to heavy handed humor. As an author, I strove to avoid extraneous text, perhaps meant to meet editorial measurements that had frustrated me as a reader. I wrote The Goddess of Pigland over a twelve year period, writing only when I had something to write about.

Review :
Rave Reviews for The Goddess of Pigland Invented by the author. Surpasses Tolkien's Lord of the Rings in imagination, scope and execution. The author would love to get a rave review like the one above in the New York Times An instant classic of literature and the greatest fantasy novel ever written, bar none! An imaginary friend of the author's who has promised to read the book and then buy a huge ad in Publishers Weekly. Reminded me of Terry Pratchett's Disc World novels, only funny A guy that once read an article in the Herald Tribune Robin Hood of Locksley, King Arthur of the Round Table and Conan of Cimmeria are now joined by Forenk of Pigland as icons of literary legend and immortality! I thought I'd save some future reviewer a few moments of thinking up a quote to go into a publication like the Harvard Book Journal The runaway BESTSELLER everyone is raving about! I may start a self-promoting publication called The Fantastic Fiction Book Review. A Warning to Readers Humans are divided by the boundless desires of the super rich and powerful seeking to strip mankind of every vestige of dignity and even the illusion of freedom by grinding them into ignorant, starving and diseased opponents combating each other over delusional religious myths and preposterous claims of the ownership of nature herself. Electronic media mogul hirelings in the pay of the draconic fascist overlord illuminati force cliched pablum rife with unconscious hypnotic instructions into our neural networks in the guise of entertainment and news. The youth of the world, robbed of any shred of creativity and free thought, are indoctrinated into robotic drones in the army of corporate mind slaves. The one time bastions of original thinking that were one time art, literature and science are shorn of innovation and replaced by the en- tropic restraints of unfettered censorship by the reactionary war mongers who rule this planet. So what can be done to combat the runaway disaster of decline that promises a dystopian future making Orwell's vision in 1984 seem like Disneyland? The text of The Goddess of Pigland by Mario Zecca contains encoded subliminal messages that undo the Machiavellian mesmerism wrought by the puppet scientists operating the hypnotic induction satel- lite apparatus for the Earth's super rich dictator overlords. The cryptic autosuggestion contained in the pages of The Goddess of Pigland frees the mind of the brain washing propaganda inculcated and conditioned into our thought processes. The Goddess of Pigland undoes the constraints of the imagination allowing individual originality and initiative. The Goddess of Pigland contains arcane script, that when read aloud, negates the ensor- celling harm wrought by the inhuman minions of those who shall not be named.The Goddess of Pigland may cause headaches, drowsiness or constipation. Do not read if you or a loved one have recently had a heart condition or organ transplant. Ask your doctor or a certified practitioner of astrology if The Goddess of Pigland is safe for you.
