Corey Taylor Knihy

In his first book, front man of Slipknot and Stone Sour, Corey Taylor took on the Seven Deadly Sins, pulling them apart to reveal all that is irrelevant and wrong about the vices in the modern world through his own uniquely hilarious yet ferocious style. But in Corey's eyes that's not all that is wrong with the world today... From bad music, fame and infomercials to raising kids, sex and airport security, You're Making Me Hate You is the result of a one-man mission to demonstrate the alarming rise in worldwide idiocy, buffoonery and out-and-out disregard for intelligent thought. Rant-filled but eloquent, shocking but intelligent, this is bestselling author Corey Taylor at his most Corey Taylor and he doesn't leave himself out either... turns out he's just as f***ing stupid as the rest of us, too.

As a result, he's seen ghosts up close and personal, whether it be while combing through an abandoned house in his native Iowa as a child or recording an album in the fabled Houdini Hollywood Hills mansion. Simply put, he's seen ghosts, but he hasn't seen Jesus.

In a nightmarish world, the Human finds himself at a crossroads as wild adventure ensues and he's thrust into a morphing landscape of rolling hills, dense forest, and an ominous Crimson City. Chased by a crazed mob and mysterious characters neither friend nor foe, the Human takes an unexpected journey that will lead to his salvation... or damnation. Collects the four-issue miniseries. * Inspired by the Stone Sour album House of Gold & Bones Parts 1 and 2. * Includes variant covers by Frank Quitely, Kylz Hotz, Steve Morris, and Richard Clark. " House of Gold and Bones #1 explores the fear of the unknown in interesting ways. Though the issue leaves a lot of unanswered questions, I look forward to reading how Taylor will develop the mystery." - Bloody Disgusting

A skewering of the American underbelly by the New York Times bestselling author of Seven Deadly Sins, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, and You're Making Me Hate You

Corey Taylor, Sänger von Slipknot und Stone Sour, wollte ursprünglich über das größte Kandidaten-Desaster aller Zeiten berichten und wie die Demokraten nach ihrem Wahlsieg die Interessen der einfachen Amerikaner wieder vertreten mussten. Doch dann wurde Donald Trump Präsident, und Taylors Auseinandersetzung mit einem Land, das er kritisch betrachtet, aber liebt, verwandelte sich in ein Pamphlet gegen einen Mann, der exemplarisch für die Missstände in den USA steht. Für europäische Leser bietet das Buch eine kurzweilige, fundierte Nachhilfestunde in der jüngeren Geschichte Amerikas. Taylor erläutert prägnant, wie sich die USA seit der Reagan-Ära verändert haben und welche Faktoren Trumps Aufstieg begünstigten. Er zieht dabei immer wieder Parallelen zu seiner eigenen Kindheit in Iowa, einem ländlichen Bundesstaat, in dem Trump viele Anhänger rekrutierte. Obwohl er das Milieu der Globalisierungsverlierer gut kennt, hat er es hinter sich gelassen und die Welt bereist, was ihm neue Perspektiven auf sein Heimatland eröffnet hat. Mit Leidenschaft und Sprachwitz kritisiert Taylor Rassismus, Dummheit, Faschismus und Borniertheit – unerschrocken und politisch unkorrekt. Eine furiose Streitschrift, die gängige Vorurteile über die USA genüsslich zertrümmert.

'I was 22 years old, a hard-on with a pulse: wretched, vice-ridden, too much to burn and not enough minutes in a hour to do so' The action begins in West Des Moines, Iowa, where Corey Taylor, frontman of heavy metal bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, systematically set about committing each of the Seven Deadly Sins. He has picked fights with douche bags openly brandishing guns. He has set himself on fire at parties and woken up in dumpsters after cocaine binges. He lost his virginity at eleven. He got rich and famous and immersed himself in booze, women, and chaos until one day he realised, suddenly, that he didn't need any of that at all. Now updated with a brand new chapter, Seven Deadly Sins is a brutally honest look at 'a life that could have gone horribly wrong at any turn', and the soul-searching and self-discovery it took to set it right.
