Learn more1993. San Francisco. The digital and pharmaceutical industries are booming. They’re looking for the young, the hip, and those on the counterculture fringe to be both the face and consumer of their new world order. Recruited by an advertising agency focused on targeting a new drug to her own age demographic, Sarah Striker is grateful for the steady income, but she begins to question the side effects of the products she’s pushing.
A kinetic, hyper-stylized jolt of pure energy, Herz delivers a strong follow-up to his debut novel, The Last Block in Harlem. Full of vibrant characters and razor-sharp dialogue, Pharmacology captures the voice of the Internet generation with style, heart, and soul.
From selling his books on the streets of New York City, to having his first novel, The Last Block in Harlem, published and read across the globe, Christopher Herz has not taken the traditional literary route. His follow up novel, Pharmacology, continues in his tradition of taking readers into a reality they don’t want to believe, but cannot turn themselves away from. Christopher lives with his wife in Brooklyn and is constantly working towards his mission of connecting the people of the world through literature.
Reviews
“In a word: Mind-blowing…An intriguing fusion of poignant coming-of-age tale and skull crushing social commentary…Powered by a soundtrack featuring Public Enemy, Jeru the Damaga, and Digable Planets, Pharmacology is one of those cool full immersion reads.” ―Unabashedly Bookish
“This gripping novel, written in an eye-catching style that many have already compared to Chuck Palahniuk, will suck readers in and keep them hooked until the very end. The story is unique, the depictions of 90s-era San Francisco are gritty and real, and the main character is a fascinating, multifaceted study of human morality.” ―San Francisco Book Review
“Pharmacology is a bold and edgy dive into a world dominated by corporate greed that eventually consumes the person who seeks to expose it.” ―Neon Tommy, Annenberg Digital News
