<em>Porn Again: A Testament of Smut and Salvation</em> by Scott Tuoty

Publication Date: November 10, 2026 Porn meets religion—what could possibly go wrong…? Ethan Essig wakes up every morning disappointed to find he’s still himself—a bitter, burnt-out pornographer running a company on the brink of collapse with a soul teetering on the edge of immolation. Over the course of one surreal week, Ethan will gamble everything on salvation: paging through the Awesome Bible (the Bible, but awesomer), seeking redemption from a Baptist pastor, and trading insults with a foul-mouthed portrait of Jesus himself. Meanwhile, his studio, Slippery Slope, is one film away from ruin. To save it, Ethan enlists a washed-up porn queen, a stunning transgender escort, and a male porn star with Tourette’s for one last, ill-fated production. But the most beguiling wildcard is Nancy, an aspiring starlet who insists she’s a virgin—and who just might be his best friend’s daughter. Consistently hilarious, occasionally cringe-inducing, and unexpectedly heart-wrenching, Porn Again is a darkly comic descent into the contradictions and similarities of pornography and religion—two forces bound by shame, spectacle, and the promise of ecstasy. In the tradition of Chuck Palahniuk, it’s a novel that shocks, unsettles, and ultimately redeems. Hardcover: US $32.99 / CAN $44.99 Page count: 360 ISBN: 978-1-949846-88-1 Trim Size: 6 x 9 in.
