Book Review: Skullcrack City

15

I know you're here for tits, but let's talk about books.

Don't get me wrong, breasts are great, but books make my world go 'round. Their smell, feel, and the escape they provide from reality -- books are kind of like the ultimate companion.

Stuff

Two things.

I might have lost my phone due to a flood in my pocket.

JIGSAW YOUTH made it on this list: Best Fiction of 2015

Kubrick is back to wearing a cone.

Wait, I guess that was three things.

catdad:
Congrats on being one of the best!  Hopefully, the phone will come back to life.  Why is Kubrick wearing a cone?
littlejohn22:
that sucks, excellent and poor Kubrick (i assume your pet and not Stanley as he is dead)

Lazy Fascist Review #3

Hey.

I have a new short story published in the latest issue of the Lazy Fascist Review. I'm published alongside literary powerhouses such as Nick Mamatas, Daphne Gottlieb, Allison Floyd, Tania Terblanche, and Nathan Carson (who's band Witch Mountain will be touring with Danzig in October). It's a fun issue, so please go check it out.

You can snag your very copy HERE.

Cult Of Loretta (book review)

11

Last month, I had the privilege of reading at Kevin Maloney’s book release party for Cult Of Loretta (Lazy Fascist Press) here in Portland. Having heard Maloney read before, I knew I wanted, nay, needed a copy of his first book. So I picked one up at the party.

Cult Of Loretta is super fucking good. It haunts you. Anytime I had to put this

"Scandal’s prose is direct and uncompromising, but the true beauty of Jigsaw Youth comes from the fact that she manages to blend together sexuality, pain, the importance of memories, and Otherness in a way that said things act as the narrative’s cohesive elements while simultaneously making it clear that they are all much bigger than the narrative framework in which they are presented.

So, what you're saying is you're [becoming] kind of a big thing.  :D  Congrats!  It must be interesting to see what kind of lift your sales get when various reviews like this come out.

Thanks for the love, Texas!

Powerful." -The Monitor

Dead End Follies posted an interview with me on Wednesday, and this morning I woke up their review of my latest book JIGSAW YOUTH.

"JIGSAW YOUTH turned out to be one of the best novels I've read this year and there's a million things I want to say about it."

"She's got that rare sophistication to her writing where she can boil down emotionally...

@catdad, I am really hoping you love at least a few of those stories in Delicate Ministrations, and that you convince everyone at SG to read them. In any case, I'm touched, and truly hope you enjoy a handful, if not all of them!
wordforrest:
@silencia, I have had Jigsaw Youth on my "to get" list for a while. I'll order it as soon as I'm back from my travels in September, and will read it this fall.
