Passing for Human

The Benaroya Chronicles: Book 1

Jody Scott

"ONE OF THE 10 WEIRDEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVELS THAT YOU'VE NEVER READ." -- iO9

When a dolphin-like alien comes to Earth disguised in a female human body, it sets the stage for a wild feminist romp that out stranges Stranger in a Strange Land.

Foreword by Barry Maltzberg

"A riproaringly magnificent time. Passing For Human is quite unlike anything anyone else has ever done." -- Neil Gaiman

I, Vampire

The Benaroya Chronicles: Book 2

Jody Scott

Can a seven hundred year old Transylvanian find true love with a revolutionary Rysemian fish-woman?

After seven hundred years, glam vampire Sterling O'Blivion worries the joy has gone out of life, until a knock-down brawl with Virginia Woolf in the ladies' room of a Chicago dance studio. But Woolf is really Benaroya, a dolphin-like alien anthropologist here to learn all there is to know about humanity and to fight the good fight against the evil, slave-trading Sajorians. Sterling falls madly in love with Benaroya. It's just the sort of romp an aging vampire needs--but first, to defeat the Sajorians, they have to sell millions of Famous Men's Sperm Kits to every woman on Earth.

Devil-May-Care

The Benaroya Chronicles: Book 3

Jody Scott

AN OUTRAGEOUSLY EXTRATERRESTRIAL LOOK AT THE HUMAN CONDITION Now available in book form for the first time ever!

When this sequel to Passing for Human and I, Vampire was written in the 1980s, it was rejected by all the major science fiction publishers who told Jody Scott it was "too far out" for commercial publication.

"Jody Scott knows that science fiction reaches the parts other fiction cannot reach. Like Philip K. Dick, she uses science fiction to question the meaning of reality and the nature of humanity- but saying that doesn't even hint at what a wild, original and outrageously funny writer she is." -TimeOut Magazine

"The greatest employment of science fiction in the service of satire. The best unknown SF writer." -Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine

Rysemian operatives are here to help us evolve. Or Else. But first they must defeat archfiend Scaulzo, worshiped as the Prince of Darkness across many galaxies, but can the devil ever really be tamed? Freewheeling cadet Benaroya has a plan- so audacious it might just succeed. Recruit Virginia Woolf's lover, lesbian vampire Sterling O'Blivion; send her to the mothership for training and rehab by George Patton and Nancy Reagan. Detail Abe Lincoln and Douglas MacArthur to the 1950's to unravel the Gordian knot of human history, master the nuances of being a "respected male leader," survive Scaulzo's Agony Organ horrorshow that hypnotically invades their thoughts, and avoid going native. Tapdance America's child-sweetheart to superstardom as a Rysemian evangelist. ("'I come to you humans from across the void,' Shirley roared in pulpits everywhere-- standing on a pile of books.") Spring the ultimate, high-stakes trap for the devil; Benaroya the bait, Earth's fate in the balance.

"Jody Scott is like a mad cabby who knows most of the streets in town and knows where the laughs are - get into her rig and she'll take you on a fast and furious spin through America's ideological terrain." -Michael Shea

"There's a hilarious rage at the heart of Devill-May-Care that threatens to devour the plot, but doesn't. Somehow Jody Scott has created a universe that tears across all the usual genre categories and makes brilliant, vicious fun of just about everything. It's delicious craziness with some serious wisdom shining through." -Ernest Hogan, author High Aztech
