Böcker av Hank Kirton

Apophenia presents Hank Kirton's collection of twisted nihilistic fables for the post-capitalist world. Welcome To The Membranous Lounge! Where ugliness and beauty melt and run together, where reality is temperamental and the boundary between "normal" and grotesque is nebulous. The Membranous Lounge is a zone of slippage, a twilight area between the layers of the world that are familiar and the terrifyingly unknown. It is a chimerical realm inhabited by the hopeless, dispossessed, and those who have simply turned away. Imagine if Ray Bradbury and Jeri Cain Rossi had a child that they locked away from the world, with only the Marquis De Sade for reading matter, and a dietary intake of bad LSD and atrocious B Movies. The Membranous Lounge would be the spawn of that child's imagination. With an introduction by Jim Rose of the Jim Rose Circus.

The third part of a trilogy that began with The Membranous Lounge, lurched uncomfortably to the left with Bleak Holiday, now coughs across the finish line with Leaves from the Smorgasbord-32 sugary pieces of fiction typed by 100 monkeys in a cold gymnasium. Leaves from the Smorgasbord explores madness, disease, deformity and dogs. It lays bare the uncomfortable lessons of damp dreams, aspirin intoxication and the stippling pattern of gun residue on a glossy forehead. It is a modern example of the, "Hey! There's a used Band-aid in the breadcrumbs!" genre of fiction.

21 random, uncompromising mind-monkeys from the desperate, shaking, ink-clotted pen of one of today's most narcoleptic storytellers. Take a Bleak Holiday and discover along your journey these previously uncollected tales; a porn star returns home for the first time, two young boys make a bizarre discovery that alters their perceptions of reality, an amateur girl-detective solves a mystery she wasn't prepared for, a man with an appetite so powerful he must continuously eat or descend into madness and a buxom woman with the head of an infant. Only the most experienced traveler should consider taking N, N-dimethyltryptamine before booking passage on this... Bleak Holiday
