The Maniac Manifesto


Book Description

THE UNDERGROUND NOVEL YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO READ! "I'll commit suicide soon enough. Maybe before the end of this book, if we're both lucky. In fact, you can even think of what you're reading as the longest suicide note in history." Equal parts sex comedy, misanthropic rant, and hate letter to the world, THE MANIAC MANIFESTO is the radical confession of a self-proclaimed "ordinary man." By turns darkly humorous and outrageously offensive, it chronicles the exploits of its nameless anti-hero who, following an unhappy love affair, voluntarily descends into what he calls "the maggotlife"-a dark night of the soul from the depths of which issues the grim testament of a man determined to tell the absolute truth. Even if it kills him. Nihilistic, misogynistic, and apocalyptic, THE MANIAC MANIFESTO is a text like virtually no other-an admission of everything we've been taught to suppress, conceal, and never speak aloud, not to others, not even to ourselves.




Realisms of the Avant-Garde


Book Description

The historical avant-gardes defined themselves largely in terms of their relationship to various versions of realism. At first glance modernism primarily seems to take a counter-position against realism, yet a closer investigation reveals that these relations are more complex. This book is dedicated to the links between realism, modernism and the avant-garde in their international context from the late 19th century up to the present day.




Stormy Seas


Book Description

Commander Berkley Levine and Captain Aidan Sullivan might have a life together if they survive the next mission. They’re undercover hunting down a treasonous ex-vice president and the militia he’s assembled to topple the US government, and the twisting trail grows deadlier at every turn. After an assassination and numerous attacks that could only have happened with inside help, they don’t know who they can trust, and the future looks darker than ever. Just when they think the trail has run cold, their old enemy, North Korean pilot Jin Umeko, unexpectedly offers to help. Reluctantly, Berkley and Aidan accept the uneasy alliance, even while suspecting Umeko is motivated by vengeance for the loss of her mother and family. If they want to destroy the threat to the country, they’ll have to risk their lives and their futures, but they’ve been prepared for that since the day they put on the uniform. The high-octane follow-up to the best-selling action-romance, Blue Skies.




Afterhuman


Book Description

THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS NOT WITH A BANG BUT A RERUN... What if the apocalypse had come and gone and no one noticed? What if the human race were already extinct but no one bothered to tell it? What if our reality were just a program to entertain and feed those who've been here since before time began? Now a would-be pop culture messiah has arisen to liberate mankind through a new religion of nihilism, mass murder, and suicide. His latest acts of carnage threaten to destroy the carefully constructed web of deception that holds together our reality. To stop him, Caleb Darr has been sanctified as cop and executioner. A killer in his own right, Darr has no choice but to accept the assignment from an entity even more dangerous than himself. It's a mission that will lead him through a dizzying realm of Dionysian death parties, Internet human sacrifices, and the visions of a madman who seeks to bring about an apocalypse to end all apocalypses.

61 Bang


Book Description

"CORMAC McCARTHY MEETS QUENTIN TARANINTO . ASTONISHING AND VICIOUS." --Michael Cross, author of Afterhuman John Case has a package everyone wants. It's a murder weapon never fired and it can make him very rich-or very dead. He was to deliver it to a contact in Los Angeles, but he got no further than the middle of Nowhere, Mississippi. He only stopped for some Ho-Hos at a convenience store when a poorly-dressed kid handed him a note in the snack food aisle scrawled in mascara: Help Us God Please. Now, Case finds himself stranded in a town with all hell about to break loose. A ruthless police "negotiator," a beautiful and lethal street assassin, a good-ole boy sheriff, human traffickers, and a hulking mountain man survivalist.Case has paused just long enough in his cross-country dash to allow them all to catch up. They're poised for a shoot-out to end all shootouts, while back in Manhattan, an entire city teeters on the verge of apocalypse after the shooting of an unarmed man.
