Let’s shred our way to hell!
The gutterpunk skate cult classic post-apocalyptic film SHREDDER ORPHEUS from filmmaker Robert McGinley has received a totally killer novelization from Encyclopocalypse Publications! It’s available NOW. About SHREDDER ORPHEUS and the novel:
Encyclopocalypse Publications is proud to unleash the official novelization of SHREDDER ORPHEUS, the hallucinogenic gutterpunk masterpiece from filmmaker Robert McGinley. Written by cult horror author David Irons (Night Waves, 7 Winters Alone), the book takes McGinley’s underground classic and blasts it into the literary void, turning skater ghosts and satanic signal towers into something savage, soulful, and completely unhinged.
In Robert McGinley’s film, SHREDDER ORPHEUS, the Greek myth is reimagined as a post-apocalyptic skateboard rock opera—a low budget hallucination that drops somewhere between the music video for Devo’s “Whip It,” a Bones Brigade skate tape, and a surrealist art project. The story follows Orpheus, a rock star who descends to hell in order to save his kidnapped wife (and the universe) from Satan and his hypnotic TV signals.
Author David Irons brings even more depth and insanity in the official novelization based off of the original script.
Irons’ novelization deepens the descent—delivering a nightmare-fueled ride through a haunted, broadcast-blasted underworld. It’s Heavy Metal meets Greek tragedy, with killer riffs and hellbound wheels.
Since its inception, Encyclopocalypse Publications has become a coveted publishing destination for independent authors and genre notables alike. Alongside producing audiobook renditions of horror classics, the company continually expands its catalog with new, original works and movie novelizations penned by the best dark fiction writers in the business today.
