Shallow Graves

Shallow Graves is written by rock veteran and Texas music prophet Goat Carson. This is a madcap horror dramedy with a flavor all its own.


Hip, provocative, and wickedly playful, "Shallow Graves" follows a world-weary horror movie researcher as he stumbles into powerful secrets of the occult and profound mysteries of mankind...but just wants to stay alive. Clever, satirical, and thrilling, "Shallow Graves" has vivid fun with the idea that destiny and salvation can belong to the most reluctant and unlikely heroes.


Set in Hollywood and the Hamptons during the dead end of the 70's, Shallow Graves is a satirical retelling of the Parsival Legend. Our Holy Fool is the Professor, a half-breed orphan, who does research for horror films. He finds himself pitted against a cabal of satanic cults all vying for control of the clans at the great Feast of the Beast. Movie Stars, human sacrifice, East Hampton society and the living dead are strung together by thread of coincidence with needle sharp wit. The occult pulp fictions of our times are turned on their heads (the Spear of Destiny was stolen by Houdini at the turn of the century; Magdalene was black.) This dark satire on Hollywood, The DaVinci Code and The State of the Nation is a must read for all true fans of the bizarre.
