Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes publishes new novel

A surreal tale of seventeen-year-old Oscar Lester and his trusted dog Mr Cigar

Music teacher, father, and Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes has published his debut young adult fiction novel. Me And Mr Cigar is a surrealist tale about a teenage boy, Oscar, and his magical pet dog. The pair are on a journey to find the teen's abducted sister, Rachel, who has not spoken to him since Mr Cigar bit off her hand. On their rescue mission they encounter secret technology, agents of the US government, wealthy corporate interests and criminal art dealers.
