AGITATOR 100
Agitator just hit 100 episodes! Of the main feed, I mean. Took us a while to realize we've been a craft podcast all along, but the literary shit is spiced up with our anime influences and inability to refrain from being jackasses. We're flowing off the cuff as usual here, while spilling some sauce, getting a bit reflective, and looking forward to what's next.
For extended and bonus episodes, Discord access, serialized novels, and more, sign up to the Agitator Z tier for only $5 on Patreon.
American Vulgaria
Speaking of Agitator, JDO and I were recently interviewed for a several page, full color, PlayStation graphic aesthetic spread in the incomparable art sleaze rag American Vulgaria. Cop this beautiful issue HERE to find us in the company of other incredible artists Adam Lehrer, Scout Dixon, Tini Weng, Stained Hanes, and more.
Love for Mercy
Over on the Getting Lit podcast, Mattéo had some thoughtful things to say about my lo-fi hillbilly cyberpunk novel Mercy. Listen below:
Books like anime
Shepherd is a new encyclopedic site based around theme-specific book lists recommended by authors. I was recently invited to compile a list of my own for the site, and chose to write about the best books that feel like watching anime.
Reviews
I'll be dropping book reviews here soon in both video and written form. First up to be covered are An Altar of Stories to Liminal Saints by Rios de la Luz, Pure Cosmos Club by Matthew Binder, Colony Collapse by KE Wolfe, and New Millennium Boyz by Alex Kazemi. There's more I'm reading or intend to pick up (like Brian Allen Carr's Bad Foundations and Elle Nash's Deliver Me), but by all means, solicit your shit if you want my honest thoughts, or recommend some books you'd like to see me dive into.
New Collection
I'll have a new short story called “Chicken and Waffles” dropping in the next couple days over on the Broken River Writer's Collective. It's about snorting bath salts, coming up with baby names, cannibalism, and a face tattoo that'll get you free combo meals. It'll be the intro story to my collection God Is Wearing Black, which drops almost exactly a month from now. You can pre-order a signed copy HERE.
GET FREE(ish) BOOKS
After God Is Wearing Black, I'ma have a couple novels drop this year as well. A dirt cheap way to get all these in eBook form, plus all my other books, is to upgrade to a paid subscription. Then you can download the back catalogue here as well as catch the new shit in your inbox ahead of release.
As always, preciate y'all. Be easy.
Bad Foundations!
