 About the book:
The world’s biggest beach party is about to get crashed—Serge A. Storms style—in “Gator A-Go-Go” an outrageously funny and supremely twisted wild ride. The creator of “Nuclear Jellyfish,” “Triggerfish Twist,” and so many more delightfully, seriously insane Serge adventures brings the Sunshine State historian and unrepentant thrill killer back for a Florida Spring Break you’ll never forget. |
