I read Sasha Fletcher's book WHEN ALL OUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED. It was satisfying like magic. I liked the fires, the birds, the oceans. I really liked the second paragraph on page 55. You should buy it, and you can, from MLP, here.

I have a guest post over at Big Other. Thanks John.

Big news:
MLP will be releasing a two volume set of the Lamination Colony archives. Awesome.

'a field of colors,' by Charles Lennox is a moving, fluxing chapbook, printed by MLP, and it's free for the month of June. You can get it here. The short story is about growing up, leaving, coming, going, being, staying and losing. Here is a tiny excerpt: 'At my field. A field of chairs. I sit in every one.'

Currently 381 copies have been mailed.

MLP is here and here

coffee

Today I am enjoying a dozen cups of coffee and getting in about an hour worth of writing before I go to work.

I've acquired some new books lately: 'A Scanner Darkly' by Philip K. Dick, 'In Candyland it's cool to feed on your friends' by James Chapman, 'The Long Goodbye' by Raymond Chandler, 'Maltese Falcon' by Dashiell Hammett, and 'Joker' by Brian Azzarello. From Nick Antosca I received a copy of his book 'Fires' as well as some titles from cloverfield press 'Gentleman Reptile' by Henry Baum, 'The Cubist Infant' by Justus Ballard, 'Tony Takitani' by Haruki Murakami, and 'Everything Can Be Beaten' by Chancre Scolex and Crab Scrambly. Looking forward to reading all of these.

Last night I finally got around to reading Sam Pink's ML chap 'Be Nice To Everyone.' It's a good read. It is in the format of a play but I read it as a short film, because I could see the camera panning around the actors, and dramatic cuts from moment to moment.

Also the Hbo mini series 'Generation Kill' is really good.

almost time for work...

oh, i received the final version of my story 'Spleen' and it looks really nice, the editors at Leucrota did a fine job.
