  • Goodreads
In this hilarious collection of personal essays, Lenore Zion offers up her unique perspective on everything from foot fungi to prep school to day spas to dead birds.  At once macabre, irreverent, beautiful, and unsettling, My Dead Pets Are Interesting is, in the end, an unimpeachably funny journey into the depths of Zion’s mind.

 

“Lenore Zion takes readers on a journey down the rabbit hole of the human condition. It is beautiful. It is ugly. And it is brilliant.” —Tom Hansen, author of American Junkie

Ted McCagg is not an artist by trade. In fact he has spent the last 15 years in the world of advertising as a writer. He did take a drawing class in college, but only because it was considered an easy A. Now, for the first time, his cartoons are collected where they have always longed to live: the printed page. His work, which has won him a legion of fans throughout cyberspace, is a regular feature on The Nervous Breakdown, and has appeared elsewhere on the web at The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Laughing Squid.

 

“Ted McCagg is a truly original thinker who really makes me laugh. And for that, I hate him” —Conan O’Brien

  • Goodreads
In this bare-knuckled, frankly autobiographical collection, D.R. Haney shares a series of personal essays on his life, struggles, and artistic evolution; from punk rock malcontent in 1980s New York, to B-movie actor in the films of Roger Corman; to screenwriter on Friday the 13th: Part VII; to expatriated American writer in Serbia; to author of the celebrated underground novel Banned for Life. Consisting of material originally published by the popular online literary magazine The Nervous Breakdown, Subversia is written with the bracing candor and lyrical beauty that have earned Haney a well-deserved cult following worldwide.

 

“Frequently heartfelt and personal, Haney interweaves tiny details with weighty subjects deftly…a joyful read…” —PANK Magazine
