The Enchanters vs. Sprawlburg Springs
The Enchanters vs. Sprawlburg Springs
by Brian Costello
The Enchanters vs. Sprawlburg Springs is a satirical, riotous story of a band trapped in suburbia and bent on changing the world. A frenzied “scene” whips up around them as they gain popularity, and the band members begin thinking big. It’s a hilarious, crazy send-up of self-destructive musicians written in a prose filled with more music than anything on the radio today.

Praise for The Enchanters vs. Sprawlburg Springs
“This hilarious, hyper-observant debut novel defies category and concerns itself with, among other things: rock ‘n’ rollers who wear football helmets and Cheeto-hued makeup, beer and brawling, pizza sandwiches and love, squid, and places like Latent Republican Hipster Music Club World and the Perimeter Square Circle Centre Mall. Why would you not read it?”
