Summary

Down-on-his-luck rideshare driver Jerry Hauser’s existence is a bleak one…especially because every fare he picks up tells him how much he looks like uber-successful self-help guru Darren Hart. But after a twist of fate, Jerry is given the chance of a lifetime…which, if he’s not careful, may well end his lifetime. So begins this California noir—a rollicking and gleefully lurid pulp crime story for our time.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

Like something that Patricia Highsmith and Donald Westlake dreamed up during a sunbaked L.A. bender.” –Duane Swierczynski, New York Times bestselling author of California Bear

Sun-drenched LA classic and contemporary noir mushed and mashed together!” –Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and Horror Movie
“Expertly devised for today’s superficial media-obsessed America, Self Help is a sunbaked crime story that is thrilling, funny, and wonderfully Hitchcockian.” –Christopher Condon, writer, The Night People & The Enfield Gang Massacre
“Funny, edgy, and so damn smart, bringing a cool Old Hollywood vibe to a contemporary setting. SELF HELP is the must-read comic of the year!”–Rio Youers, author of The Bang-Bang Sisters
