Dr. Identity
D. Harlan Wilson

Sample the first 2 chapters

"This book's better'n the bushelfull of Benzedrine-spiked donut holes with which Dr. Identity tries to bribe his students into civilized demeanor! Pomo cybertheory never tasted so good or made you fly this high! Buy this book before the BEM's attack!"
—American Book Review

Health Agent
Jeffrey Thomas

"Wild, weird, clever and brutal…a crazed ride into the heart of that bizarre reality known as Punktown. Jeffrey Thomas has a diabolical imagination and, thankfully, the talent to vent it through a unique and always engrossing voice."—Jack O'Connell, Author of Word Made Flesh

Sick
An Anthology of Illness edited by John Edward Lawson

Sample Story

"Sick is just that—sick; a madman's demented fever-dream. Sometimes funny. Sometimes horrifying. Always engaging. This is dark fiction on the edge."
—Brian Keene, The Rising
