The Columbine Pilgrim is a dark journey into the labyrinth, an exploration of the twisted psychic pathways by which resentment and rage, sentimentalism and self-pity, alienation and nihilism lead to mass murder.
Join Tony Meander, a brilliant yet troubled man, as he makes a curious "pilgrimage" to Littleton, Colorado to visit the site of the notorious 1999 Columbine High School massacre.
His mind dashes to and fro, between present and past, between fantasy and fact, as he contemplates committing a bold, terrible act that will disturb the universe.
"When I received the manuscript of The Columbine Pilgrim, I knew Andy Nowicki as a Georgia-based Catholic reactionary with a penchant for dark subjects, much like Flannery O'Connor, one of my favorite writers.

"When I received the manuscript of The Columbine Pilgrim, I knew Andy Nowicki as a Georgia-based Catholic reactionary with a penchant for dark subjects, much like Flannery O'Connor, one of my favorite writers. A superficial glance at this meditation on the psychology of nihilism, and I was wondering, 'What hath Flannery O'Connor wrought?' At the time, Arizona spree-killer Jared Lee Loughner was the center of the American news media's attention, and the uncanny parallels between Loughner and Nowicki's creation Tony Meander drove home the profundity of his insights. This thin novella contains more truth than some psychologists' collected writings. In a world hurtling into the abyss. The Columbine Pilgrim may well become a survival manual."
— Greg Johnson, Editor, North American New Right
"Tony Meander has a 'grudge against life.' And in his struggle to overcome the mediocrity and passive nihilism of the modern world, he descends into the furious, infantile, and sadistic hell of the guillotine and torture chamber, in which 'Wrath Makes Right' and 'Ich bin Gott.' Evoking Foe, Nietzsche, and Boyd Rice (among many others), Andy Nowicki tells a tale that's as grotesque and morbidly funny as it is disturbing and thought-provoking. Tony Meander won't be leaving my imagination, for better and for worse."
