PRAISE FOR BLAKE BUTLER

"An endlessly surprising, funny, and subversive writer." -Publishers Weekly

"If the distortion and feedback of Butler's intense riffing is too loud, you may very well be too boring." -Globe and Mail (Toronto)

"Try Blake on. Lace him up. Wear him around your neck in wreaths." -Vice

"If there's a more thoroughly brilliant and exciting new writer than Blake Butler . . . well, there just isn't." -Dennis Cooper

PRAISE FOR SEAN KILPATRICK

"This is a book you need. Language reset. Guidebook." -HTML GIANT on Sean Kilpatrick's fuckscapes

"The violent, sexual zone of television and entertainment is made to saturate that safe-haven, the American Family. The result is a zone of violent ambience, a 'fuckscape': where every object or word can be made to do horrific acts. As when torturers use banal objects on their victims, it is the most banal objects that become the most horrific (and hilarious) in Sean Kilpatrick's brilliant first book." -Johannes Goransson on fuckscapes

"Here is your I.V. drip of sphinx's blood." -CA Conrad
