ALARM carries on the humorously visual narratives of fictional character Mick O'Grady, introduced in Daily's first novel, Valley (Bend Press, 1998). Of that novel, RAY GUN MAGAZINE wrote, "Mike Daily packs so many stylish smash cuts into Valley, MTV dulls by comparison."
ALARM finds O'Grady "settling into unsettlement" in the weeks after the hit on the World Trade Center. He's jobless, watching the news, shaky in his relationship, cautious with friends, curious with strangers. He's lost. But as the story progresses, his movements become more purposeful. He needs to eat. He gets a job. He gets two jobs.
ALARM is available from CD Baby or direct from Mike Daily.

Mike Daily's Note: I recently wrote "Gagaku Meat: The Steve Richmond Story," a 19,000-word journalism piece about poet Steve Richmond for Buk Scene #1, a new Charles Bukowski-based magazine edited by Jan Hallers in The Netherlands. I interviewed 25 poets, writers and publishers including Gerald Locklin, FrancEyE (Frances Smith, mother of Bukowski's daughter, Marina), Al Berlinski, John Martin, A.D. Winans, Linda King, Ron Androla, S.A. Griffin, Alan Kaufman, Mat Gleason, Billy Childish, many others. Buk Scene is a 100+ page, 8-1/2" x 11" format, limited edition (200 copies) magazine available by Feb. '09. Mr. Viced Honest (Luke Strahota, Chutz Ponderosa, Adam Hungate, Whitney Woolf, MD) recorded "Mad Poet's Garden" on 10/8/08 in Portland, OR.
