Interview with me and Andy Nowicki...

... about the HOPELESS reprint of Andy's THE DOCTOR AND THE HERETIC:

I could do without the commenters' tired, smug claim that anyone writing today automatically stinks (not that they've likely tried reading any of it since their ill-advised foray into Dave Eggers or whatever godawful thing people who don't know anything about current literature think represents current literature) ... I'll bet Gogol got sick of hearing that too.

Just recorded an interview with Doctor and the Heretic author Andy Nowicki...

... will post soon. Also, the Kindle version is now available!

Brand new paperback edition, with attractive matte finish cover and devilish cover art by Mike Browarski, available within 24 hours (or whenever the Amazon censor gnomes finish making sure my trim size isn't stupid)!

DOCTOR AND THE HERETIC: Reprint coming in mere days!

I hope you listened and did not pay the used book sharks, because the Mike Browarski cover for the second edition of Andy Nowicki's THE DOCTOR AND THE HERETIC AND OTHER STORIES is ready. A. It looks FANTASTIC, and B. The stuff inside is fantastic as well, as many reviewers and happy readers of the first edition could tell you more objectively than I could:

So get ready. Andy and I will be interviewing each other about the release and our other new projects in the next couple of days to celebrate, so if you can't get enough of book nerds talking shop then you've got that to look forward to as well!

HOME OF SATIRE

If you have to live in the 21st century, then you might as well examine that disgusted feeling deep in your gut, because we're all going to die and that's the only fact. (Time and matter actually might be illusions, smartass.) All Ebooks and POD paperbacks, because I don't have any money. And look, you don't need to buy a special Kindle device. You can read ebooks on any computer. So if you can read this, you can read that. AND WE NOW HAVE PAPERBACKS. Have fun, worm food!

* THIS IS HOW TO READ KINDLE BOOKS WITHOUT BUYING A KINDLE DEVICE

Submissions

So you wrote a book, huh? And you can't get it published, eh? If you're nonetheless certain that it's brilliantly written (THOSE BASTARDS!) and you're willing to settle for the companionship of a wacky, rag-tag, suicidally reckless crew that can't even afford goddamned paper, you may well find a home for it here.

Hopeless Books is mainly interested in publishing fiction (by which I DO NOT mean your thinly veiled trust-fund baby autobiography where there's a funeral and some schoolboyish attempts to show how good you are at describing things, you fucks), but if you've written something nonfictional that's well-written AND hilarious, interesting, or controversial, please send it my way.

Genre fiction is welcome, including (I sup-pose) litfic. Who knows, someone might eventually write a good litfic novel. Monkeys, in a room, typewriters, etc.

There will probably be no Nobel prizes. Sorry.
