Good times loose rhymes sound and fury signify plenty. Dante Blake old friends Miltonian exit no money no house no luck. Punxsutawney PA cash register two months shrug shoulders finish book. Elsewhere elsewhere elsewhere book picked up Evil Nerd Empire Bizarro" I'm the author of the books Murderland Part 1:h8, Murderland II:Life During Wartime and Archelon Ranch, all available now on Amazon. Here's what some authors have said about my book Murderland Part 1, H8 "The offbeat brilliance of this book will freak your face off!"- Gina Ranalli, author Motherpuncher and House of Falling Leaves "Action! Explosions! Hot broads! Garrett Cook is two-fisted bizarro pulp. I love his stories."- Jeff Burk, author of Shatnerquake "This is an author to look out for."- Jordan Krall, author of Piecemeal June and Squid Pulp Blues "...an intense, satirical and above all, entertaining read"- Andersen Prunty, author Zerostrata and Jack and Mister Grin You can read my filthy but misunderstood story Brian's Girl here:http://www.corpse.org/content/view/146/1/ Here I am reading at Quimby's Bookstore in Chicago, where you can also purchase copies of my book:

Gandhi, Michael Collins, Christopher Lee, David Cronenberg, anybody who needs a swift kick in the balls and can't find somebody to administer it ......
