Read MoreWaiting for the Needle Rain by David Spicer
/
“When white roses love fire . . . it will be time to launch the Jupiter missiles and portray ourselves as gods we are not.”
Coming shortly, Waiting for the Needle Rain, by David Spicer. If Salvador Dali had been a tank commander with a cannon firing poetry . . . Along with the exquisite cover art from Nancy Clift Spicer.
Alane Rollings, author of To Be in This Number, weighs in on the book:
David Spicer's voice is a rare original. The speaker of Waiting for the Needle Rain is no white tower dweller, rather a rough, even shocking working-class man in a roughneck world. “Whataya Say” starts: “Thank you for answering the ad. If you want a spot on my delivery truck, arrive prepared to follow me.” We do—to someone who doesn't know “where the Louvre is, or how long Queen E has reigned” but says “Give me the murder channel, some apricot schnapps, and a little bush I can dicker with.”

Coming Soon: STUPIDIOCY by Cindy Rosmus
/
A collection of finger nail yanking Noir from the editor of Yellow Mama, Cindy Rosmus. Her tales meander in and around familiar streets and bars, passing the hometown walking dead, witches and trick or treaters, their bags loaded with razor blade filled apples. Her stories take root in that burned patch of ground where nightmare and waking life coexist, each lyrical and presented lovingly like an exquisite bouquet of dead flowers. The collection is illustrated by Coates Walker, the premier collagist of modern irony.
