I love Lafond's sense of humor, which I why I asked him for the right to edit and reprint his article "<a href="http://www.triggerwarning.us/slavery-forever/" target="_blank">Slavery Forever</a>" for the relaunch issue. He manages to be both deadpan and slightly unhinged at the same time; a great formula, although he probably isn't treating it as a formula, it's just the way his brain works.</div>

I realize now that Google penalizes sites that reprint shit, but Trigger Warning started from nothing, and we need content to get content (because c'mon, <i>I </i>wouldn't donate money to a site myself unless I had an idea of what the heck kind of stuff they like to print—and "mission statements" that are stuffed and chocked all full of good intentions only go so far.</div>

Well, it's been a tumultuous month here at the Hopeless Books ranch, what with the mad psychiatrists running around tying your humble proprietor to chairs and all—and why is it that the less money your company makes, the harder it is to find an unpaid intern? The one I had died of malnutrition so I was having the cat fetch me Starbucks—so I didn't post the release of Paul Bingham and Emril Krestle's gorgeous split single BLACK HOUSE ROCKED till AFTER the first review rolled in. Well, vwah-lahhh:<br />
<br />

<br />
And said review was written by the likes of James O'Meara, no less. He has a way with book reviews. It pisses some people off, but if you don't have any enemies you're doing this thing wrong.<br />

<br />
An excerpt:<br />
<br />
<i>Jackson’s ensuing adventures are a kind of blood-drenched Magic Theater, a tour of the Western Lands under the guidance of el hombre invisible himself. I must confess, I rather missed our grittier, down-home visit with Jackson and his fellow small town glue huffers, but Bingham’s way with language keeps you going on.</i><br />
<i><br /></i><i>Some lines are worthy of Chandler himself:</i><br />
<i><br /></i><i>“He likes to live in a nutshell. All complete, but can’t hit back, when the world starts cracking.”</i><br />
<br />
<br />
And check this out: I am apparently "one of the leading voices of the anti-natalist movement," saith O'Meara. Some may find this a dubious compliment, but I wear it with stinking, rancid, human pride.<br />

Robert Stark has an interesting podcast show, featuring the likes of me. This was recorded back in the days when I was working 12-hour days as the sole proofreader/French translator/all-around bitch boy of an ad agency. Most money I've ever made, but as for the working conditions I had to keep repeating to myself: "At least I am warm and dry. At least I am warm and dry." Because I've had cold, wet jobs, but they have never lasted 60 hours a week.<br />

The Talkative Corpse, HOPELESS BOOKS' 2013 historical horror novel (to use these terms as loosely as humanly possible) gets some love from Heathen Harvest! :<br />
<br />
http://heathenharvest.org/2014/08/03/the-talkative-corpse-a-love-letter-by-ann-sterzinger/<br />
<br />
The hideous demonic manifestation calls itself Bertram, and informs him that he will destroy Kat, but only after Jaggo falls in love again. Additionally, killing off Kat comes with a price; Bertram must also kill someone Jaggo loves.<br />
<br />
From here until the thrilling fireball-filled conclusion of the novel, Bertram follows Jaggo around, observing his movements, drinking all his beer and liquor, and making irreverent commentary. Inevitably, Jaggo meets a woman who is perfect for him, but he is afraid to fall in love with her for fear that she will be the one the animani takes as a price for Jaggo’s ill-advised incantation.<br />
<br />
Much obliged, Heathens; much obliged. My occasional penchant for modern metal has not gone unrewarded by whatever Teutonic deity is in charge of karma (hey, I said it was occasional).</div>

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:<br />

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!<br />

If you aren't thrilled with the idea of paying eighty bucks for a gently used copy of THE DOCTOR AND THE HERETIC (AND OTHER STORIES) on Amazon, despair not (well, at least don't despair about that): Hopeless Books is going to reprint that sucker as soon as we can get a new cover for it.<br />

Here's a teaser (one of my favorite bits):<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Fenton
always understood perfectly, in fact, that human suffering took many forms, and
that its root reached down much deeper where its bitter fruit met the eye in
its most spectacularly awful manifestations in the world. Genocide was bad, of
course; hunger and poverty were intolerable; racial discrimination a disgrace,
but even if it were possible to remedy these evils, you still wouldn’t have the
thing out at its foul and festering origin, for the source of suffering lies in
the very fact of life itself. ...</span></div>

Does it seem like the same reviewers review all of our books? That's because once you taste one, you need to cram the whole thing in your head. Like a gigantic bag of salted snack chips, except we ain't selling ya artificial flavorings.<br />

I was so busy coding goddamn 50-cent-off coupons for ten hours a day when this came out that I didn't even post it... Matt Forney is the first person to even bother to review this book since it was written in god knows when, I think I'm going prematurely senile. Thanks a lot, day job! You're always such a boon to my "career."<br />

Andy Nowicki is making the poor man's talk show rounds once again... buy his books, people, get the man off this treadmill!<br />
<br />
...although he kinda sounds like he's having fun talking to Matt Forney on his Podcast Extravaganza about the sinister side of beauty, among other interesting things... this is one of those interviews where you're going to need a pen to take down the reading suggestions. Not that you shouldn't buy BEAUTY AND THE LEAST first, of course...<br />

Matt Forney's Podcast Extravaganza features TWO Hopeless interviews this month:<br />
<br />
1. Released this Tuesday, STINKING DEATH, ECSTATICAL LIFE was Forney's conversation with Ann Sterzinger (NVSQVAM, The Talkative Corpse) about <span class="userContent">why Lena Dunham and Dave Eggers should be thrown into the Tiber in a bagful of rats. <br /> <br />
The podcast also covers Hopeless Books' upcoming release of Andy Nowicki's BEAUTY AND THE
LEAST, Kingsley Amis's writing tips for his shitty son, how Celine got funnier as he kept getting blacker, the dedication to craft of today's aspiring journalists (hint: there was plagiarism—OF WIKIPEDIA!), and Generation X's official decision to adopt Forney so he doesn't wind up legally required to spend 20 hours a day writing essays about GIRLS and/or complaining about his latte: </span><br />
