Chemical Bodies is psychedelic noir, a genre-blending hallucinatory horror/mystery/sci-fi set in 1994. A world in which nothing is ever what it seems. A world in which Eldo is never ever sober. A world of scent, obsession, and intoxication. A world in which Eldo is learning how to peek underneath the fabric of reality, to witness the chemical bonds that lie beneath.

Chemical Bodies is a novel for people who are looking for something different, transgressive, fast, hip, and loose. A novel for readers of Vice, Vox, Bret Easton Ellis, Kurt Vonnegut, Jay McInerney, Hunter S. Thompson, Carlos Castaneda, and William Burroughs. A novel for those who live in the dizzying now. A novel which has been up for three nights and is now talking to you at a rattling pace. A novel to read while listening to The Velvet Underground, Beck, Monster Magnet, The Pixies, and P. J. Harvey.

Chemical Bodies is the first novel from Ben Woodiwiss, the Writer/Director of the claustrophobic indie hit film Benny Loves Killing. It continues his mission to normalise transgressive female protagonists. If you're difficult to categorise then Chemical Bodies is the prescription for you.
