Voices by Kyle Muntz — Taking place in a kind of
"internal space," populated by living ideas, Voices
utilizes broken typography within the context of an
equally broken narrative to examine an existence in
which identity and self have become, themselves,
imaginary, but have allowed human thought and
feeling to reshape the very nature of perceptual reality.
Language is given a new, unfamiliar shape: complete
freedom to explore the framework of an intricate
semiotic landscape.

curiously stimulating in the multi-layered subtexts and potential interpretations, and enthrallingly visceral throughout.

The Vicious Circulation of Dr. Catastrope:
A Polemical Ensemble by Kane X Faucher —
A bitter doctor unfairly accused and sent to prison, an
old and ornery Frenchman in Louisiana who just wants
people to leave him and his lawn alone, a paranoid ex-
crooner trying to mount a comeback in the age of
human jukeboxes, a disgruntled academic whose
career is being sabotaged, and a Rabelaisian narrator
who has united them all in a tavern tale. Delight in the
satirical volleys of vitriol and angry, streaming fury from
the mouthiest, most opinionated, and disillusioned old
men in a book that surreptitiously draws the essence of
polemic in the history of literature and expresses the
most outlandish statements with a double donkey
punch of humour and shock.

The Unwelcome Guest plus Nin and Nan by
Eckhard Gerdes — Fan-favorite novelist Eckhard
Gerdes is back, and this time with both barrels loaded!
These two novels tackle modern life’s complexities as
only the twelve-gauge pen of Eckhard Gerdes can. The
Unwelcome Guest is the story of one man’s flight from
paranoia, and Nin & Nan features a gender-ambiguous
couple who take on the entire federal government.
Both novels are richly humorous, but at the core of
each is the pressing concern that modern concerns are
pressing on us too much. Twice a top-ten finisher in the
Preditors and Editors annual readers’ poll of the best
novels of the year, Gerdes is certain to delight his legion
of loyal literati with his legendary legerdemain in this
new double offering.

Adventure on the High Seas by GX Jupitter-
Larsen — A noise novel about wrestlers, elevators,
and anti-time. Punched through with an irreal morality
of haute-punk ethos, GX Jupitter-Larsen's penchant for
conveying entropy is an elegantly coded force majeure
reminiscent of Henry Darger - but darker, deeper, and
with a safety pin jabbed in the nose of our social mores.
