Evangeline and The Discarnates aren't always ready for the road but the road is even less prepared for this feral band of subcultural hybrids. Hop on their crazy caravan and experience the fantastic, magical and dysfunctional intrigues of players so strange, seductive and hilarious that you'll almost wish they'd crash on YOUR living room floor. Follow them through scandals, fits of passion, contract offers, death, infidelity, bipolar disorder, kidney donation and the sex industry. If you're just the right kind of "awake and aware", these talented misfits might snatch you up, hustle you into a smelly van and shuttle you off to freedom. Pre-apocalyptic survivalism has never sounded so delirious: this is no ordinary goth band and theirs is like no tour on earth.

"A Must Read"
Evangeline & The Drama Wheel is a must read for anyone that can appreciate hybrid catgirls, dysfunctional relationships and life on the road. Serena Toxicat has painted a colorful picture of each one of her characters. She has created an excellent visual experience for those of us that have not lived it, and made us wish we had.
READ IT, ENJOY IT and APPRECIATE THIS WORK OF ART!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serena Toxicat seamlessly integrates poetic language into narrative prose with beautiful, touching, and richly compelling results. Even the prosaic actions of her characters are imbued with a heartbreaking beauty through the words of this writer. While her background as a poet permeates the style of this work, she cleverly integrates, achieving true magic in storytelling.
"A substantial piece of literature"
Although this book has fewer pages than many, it is longer than it looks! The pacing, style and story are to be read slowly, savored and allowed to soak in. Like the content - a journey into chaos - this writing itself is a journey.
I'm not a big fan of stream-of-consciousness texts, as most are merely incoherent. But this book, this novel, is not so much a stream of consciousness as a dream of consciousness, an awakening into dream, a dreaming back into waking--all done through the metaphor and truth of Toxicat's adventures with the Discarnates, literally "a band apart"... from itself, its members, and the world.

"Deviant Sideshow Masterpiece"
Combining elements of stream of consciousness, Gothic flavored metaphysical mayhem, and more subtle wisdom than your cat on a Saturday afternoon, Evangeline and the Drama Wheel is like James Joyce and Neil Gaiman wrapped up in a blanket and tossed down the stairs. In a good way. :)
"Evangeline and the Drama Wheel"
Evangeline & DW is a unique and very interesting work.
The Rev. Toxicat is a highly imaginative individual, and she creates characters who exist simultaneously as works of art and as real people with entirely believable emotions and motivations.
The structure of the novel is different from something like say, Jane Eyre, where a number of characters and situations evolve into a neat conclusion. It is a story of a band that comes into existence, and then unravels as the persons who comprise it are moved by their feelings toward their own destinies. Much as things happen in real life,...
