Outlaw Circus






A generous supply of surrealist prose pieces--some of them stories, some vignettes, with nods to Ibsen, Borges, Kafka, Gogol, and others--capped off by a true gem, Outlaw Circus, a pun-filled, Blazing-Saddles-like novella that plays wild and entertaining mind games with the western genre. Heaps of fun! --Robert Devereaux, author of Baby's First Book of Seriously Fucked-Up Shit

Not One of Us Issue #51


From Publisher John Benson:

“We might have called this our ‘autumn issue,’ but here in the northern hemisphere that would have been a confusing name for an April publication.  So instead we’ll say the theme is not dead yet.  We have a woman defying her own personal death, a man living the puzzle of the not-quite-dead, and a washer cleansing all precious griefs; one who lives in a court of rust and another who waits to step through the walls while the shadows last.  If you’re not dead yet, you can dream that you’ve woken up and gone outside; but be careful, there’s something in the garden that doesn’t want to stay there.  And especially for the not yet dead, ‘autumn is the true alchemist.’”

Coping: A Not One of Us Special Publication


From Publisher John Benson:

"The world is full of things we have to cope with. In this volume, people face freezing cold and nothingness, disease, loneliness, and recent post-apocalypse, with a bug in the brain and lost on the wrong side of town. Characters cope whatever way they can: telling a comfort lie, collecting shoes of the dead, cherishing a moment of sunlight, taking photos of ruined buildings, non-standard use of espresso, or good old-fashioned soup, by tying up the threat or writing out a curse."

 Coping contents:

In the Whiteness, by Patricia Russo
L’Inconnue de la Seine (poem), by J. C. Runolfson
The Ballad of Mr. Bones, by Katie McDermott
Clear (poem), by Sonya Taaffe
The Brook Beneath the Willow Tree, by Diane Dooley
Good Night, Sophia, by Addison Clift
The Bug in Bob’s Brain, by Joe Geglio
Banshee in the Basement (poem), by K. S. Hardy
Of Pumpkin Soup and Other Demons, by Natalia Theodoridou
Defixio (poem), by Sonya Taaffe
