How to Successfully Kidnap Strangers is Now Available to Burn

July 28, 2015admin, Blog, Writingbizarro pulp press, journalstone, weird fictionMax

The paperback of my third novel, How to Successfully Kidnap Strangers, is now available on Amazon from Journalstone’s weird fiction imprint, Bizarro Pulp Press. It’s a very short book about a small press dealing with the unwanted kidnapping of one of their worst reviewers. I am told the kindle version should be available in the next week or two, but fuck that noise, you need the paperback version of this book. For one thing, the interior formatting by Lori Michelle is goddamn beautiful, and another, the jacket design by Matthew Revert is sexy enough to make Jesus Christ himself ejaculate in his holy slacks.

You can buy the paperback here.

Cover Reveal: How to Successfully Kidnap Strangers

January 13, 2015admin, Blogbizarro pulp press, book news, matthew revertMax

My next book will be a short novel called How to Successfully Kidnap Strangers. It’s about a bizarro small press reacting badly to a blogger who constantly targets their books with negative reviews. It’s being released this April by Bizarro Pulp Press, the weird fiction imprint of Journalstone.

Mark it as “to-read” on Goodreads here.

Now take a look at Matthew Revert’s cover design:

1. Do not respond to bad reviews.

2. If you must respond to bad reviews, please do not kidnap the reviewer.

3. If you must kidnap the reviewer, do not kidnap him in a public area.

4. If there are witnesses, do not also kidnap them.

5. If you also kidnap the witnesses, consider quitting crystal meth.

6. If you find yourself surrounded by hostages, purchase extra duct tape.

7. Do not let the hostages take their own hostages.

8. Invest in better coffee.

9. Don’t forget: dildo crucifixes have more than one use.

10. And, most importantly: do not engage the severed heads in conversation.

Bizarro Pulp Press has announced they will be publishing my flash fiction story, “A Prescription to Shut the Fuck Up” in their upcoming anthology, BIZARRO BIZARRO. It is scheduled to be released this November, just in time for BizarroCon. And, yes, it is a bizarro collection, surprisingly enough.

What’s bizarro?

“To us, it’s intellectual and poetic freedom. It’s about exploring the limits of literature and creativity. It can be argued that many classics are bizarro: George Orwell’s Animal Farm has talking animals that take over a farm, and Kafka’s Metamorphosis features a suffering protagonist who has spontaneously become a cockroach. ”

— From the BPP website.

I know I like to boast, but let me tell you. This story is hands down the best thing I have ever written or will ever write in my life. I am retiring after this anthology is released.
