Hell or Hangover - a humor & satire newsletter written by an ex(ish)-degenerate turned husband and father, for readers who are tired of depressing shit all day.
Marissa is a Spanish spark. Fun. Funny. Gorgeous. A woman the likes of which Lou has never seen. After a chance encounter and a night bar hopping Lou is smitten. But his bad habits get the better of him. He wakes up in his ex-girlfriend’s bed. He has 5 days to find her. July 25

2015 was a year when no one gave a fuck who you voted for. When social media was about hooking up and not bashing people over the head with political opinions. When you shared solo cups at a house party regardless of party affiliation. Take a trip back Hell or Hangover July 2025

The latest @walterkirn piece in County Highway made me chuckle. I drove from Jersey to Georgia to pick up my pup because I didn’t want him to ever be on a plane. I feel validated.
Hearing a baseball game playing on the radio in an oily-smelling tire shop while you wait in a hard plastic chair for your flat to be repaired, reading a wrinkled car magazine. America is a feeling.
I didn't know what the Bechdel Test was until Peter Shull, author of the novel Why Teach? sent me this blurb. Maybe that's why no agent took a chance on my book. Woops. Never cared less about failing something in my life!

When a dude like @borywrites gives you a blurb like this…🤯 Order here: a.co/d/cDd7V6M

Bezos looking like Charlie Runkle.
Jeff Bezos appears to be wearing the wrong waistcoat for his wedding. This is a dinner suit (aka tuxedo) and thus requires a formal waistcoat, which is cut lower on the body. He's wearing a business vest, which is designed for business suits. Needs a waistcoat like the right.
My name is Alex Muka and I’m a father, husband, and writer living in Red Bank, NJ. Me and my wife got drunk and did a photoshoot at my favorite bar for the back of my novel Hell or Hangover. Out in July.
Lou Kennedy is a 25 year old man-child living a life of debauchery. He's been at it a long time - the drinking, the drugs, the women - why stop now? That is until he meets a woman who just might change his ways... Hell or Hangover Out in July

Manchild Lou Kennedy meets Marissa, a woman who just might change his debauched ways. When he wakes up in his ex-girlfriend’s bed with no recollection of how and no proof Marissa exists, he faces a choice. Find Marissa or succumb to a life of depravity. Hell or Hangover July 25

Lou Kennedy thought that the end of college meant the end of partying. He thought he’d grow up. He thought he’d settle down. He was wrong. If you still get a pit in your stomach seeing a blue book, Hell or Hangover is for you. Out in July.
Between these and nutcrackers at Summer Jam idk how we made it out of the 2010's alive. Hell or Hangover July 2025 #books #lit #BookTwitter #newrelease #millennial #hangover

If you’ve ever looked in a mirror at a bar at 2 AM and seen this, Hell or Hangover is for you. Out in July.

If you were in college in the 2010’s you were either listening to these three albums or Levels by Avicii on repeat. Hell or Hangover An ode to the 2010’s Out July 2025

Twitter in the 2010’s was so fucking fun. All great things must come to an end but for me, it will never be X. Twitter 4 lyfe. Lou Kennedy, Hell or Hangover’s main character, has perfected the art of sending tweets out hammered drunk with one eye shut.

Years of research went into this book. And by research I mean immersing myself into unthinkable hangovers. The stat below is real, but it's not the new generation's fault that they can't keep up. No one could. Hell or Hangover July 2025

In my 20’s MDW was like a shotgun going off to begin a summer of debauchery. These youngins just wouldn’t understand. Hell or Hangover July 2025

Instead of bitching about the state of publishing, just write what you want to see on the shelves. Hell or Hangover Out in July.
