After the Octopus is the action-packed, stand-on-its-own, laugh-riot sequel to After the Orange Glow. It?s also the final installment in Mark Spitzer?s four-part series about living the life of an outlaw poet forty years too late.

But this time our femme fatale is way more human, and so is our protagonist?who remembers what she did to him, so refuses to be whipped again. Meanwhile, earthquake omens erupt from the crust, llamas abound, and addicts clash. Gangs, abortions, porn and angst! Till fighting the sultry suck of her spell, our hero retreats to the fabled Mountain Palace, where things have changed. Especially when Lily, down and out, shows up in the Rockies.
