Description
Fans of Carl Hiaasen or John Niven will love this first outing in the Serge Storms series.
For over 25 years Tim Dorsey has made a speciality of depicting the bad, the ugly and the redneck in American society – with the help of his anti-hero creation Serge A. Storms. Part spree killer, part local historian, Serge and his human narcotic partner Coleman regularly carve a trail of destruction and marijuana roaches through the state of Florida.
Serge is a morally uprighteous killer: he only terminates folks (like drug dealers, thugs, corporate polluters, racists, jetski riders, rednecks) who really deserve it, and then in quite imaginative ways. Think of him as ‘Dexter’ without a conscience.
Full of sex, violence, stoner humour and lacerating satires of American lowlifes, Florida Roadkill is the memorable opener to the series – just don’t take it seriously.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
“Excellent … I almost exploded with laughter as I read Dorsey’s novel. It’s manic, hysterical, and puts Dorsey well up there with the cream of comic writers who seem to have made Florida the center for satirizing America in the 21st century.”
The Independent
“In Serge Storms, the convivial, schizoid torturer with an encyclopedic knowledge of Florida, Dorsey has created a truly lovable loon.”
Birmingham Post
“Twisted hilarity … a compelling page-turner … a book that, if it was not funny, would be very, very frightening … Tim Dorsey is one sick bunny.”
Belfast News Letter
“The characters in Tim Dorsey’s raucous novel would be shot on sight in any other state.”
The New York Times Book Review
“High satire with a lowbrow sensibility that inevitably invokes comparisons to Carl Hiaasen …. Dorsey is compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny …. He puts a funhouse mirror in front of the political process and those who feed off it …. For readers with a high threshold for prurience and violence, Dorsey’s books are definitely funny ha-ha.”
Boston Globe
“A good writer with plenty to say … To Dorsey’s eye, the Florida [that] residents love is awash in racism, smut, dope, corruption, and casual murderous violence. You can tell he loves it still.”
Cleveland Plain Dealer
