   Soft Skull Press's Blurbs
About me:
"Thoughtful, critical, committed to expounding an openly manifold perspective toward all modern life, these and other releases by Soft Skull endorse a new, enlightened way of looking at society. Harsh politics and inspired fiction aside, in a nation that starves for real reality, Soft Skull Press has solidly grounded, daringly provocative food for the brain." —Willamette Week
"One of the most visable and respected alternative houses in the US...like Grove Press in the 1950's and 1960's." —Quill & Quire (Canada)
check out our website at www.softskull.com
Who I'd like to meet:
Authors, experimental fiction writers/readers, poets, artists, innovators, comickers, and anyone interested in provocative literature, art, and music

Happy December!

As a winter present for everyone, I'm offering a free novella on my website.

A Happily Ever After of Her Own

Melinda Lightfoot, a preschool teacher with an unusual ability to flit in and out of fairy tales, never thought she would get into trouble...

...until the Fairy Tale Police arrest her while she is in Beauty and the Beast. They offer her a deal: Find Beauty, who left the story when Melinda trespassed into it, or be charged with the ultimate crime -- Fairy Tale Killer. If that's not bad enough the Beast tags along in search of his true love, and Melinda starts falling for the fairy tale prince. She must choose between doing the right thing and having her own happily ever after.

Enjoy and happy holidays! :)

Just to let you know, my short story collection “A History of Sarcasm” is now available to buy.  (It’s great, by the way.)

 

You can get it from www.doghorn.com

 

More details on my website, www.frankburton.co.uk

 

“The writer William Burroughs once called language “a virus from outer space”, and there’s a sense of that in A History of Sarcasm, where Burton holds words up to the sun and lets the light shine through them.”

now available for pre-order, j. michael niotta's chapbook, "the devil's doin the same damn thing he's always done.'

noir, bars, women & cars - from vegas to dago, the brothels of germany to doha, kuwait: a wild & gritty collection of 17 cuts: pomes & prose, plus 3 excerpts from the novel, ‘the ants, thirsty,’ all from the former editor/columnist of 86…the man who put "hard fic" on the streets…the hardcore referee/translator/negotiator you’d hire when sitting bookended in a bar between nick tosches & chuck palahniuk.

"look, the stuff is good. quite good. straight up - like a good half-glass of whiskey."
—dan fante, author of ‘mooch,’ ‘spitting off tall buildings,’ ‘kissed by a fat waitress,’ & ‘a gin pissing raw meat dual carburetor v-8 son of a bitch from los angeles.’
