Enjoy Me, a collection of stories by Logan Ryan Smith, tells the tales of unreliable narrator, Luke—a down and out, sometimes unemployed writer living in San Francisco among zombies, monsters, and cricket-people. He navigates this world in search of love, respect, drugs, booze, and satisfaction, often seeking others through a haze of fantasy, despite his evident misanthropy. But fantasy and reality mix, leaving everyone involved with questions of which is which, and whether it even matters. Sometimes likable, more often despicable, Luke relates his narratives with lyrical urgency and a healthy dose of fear, anxiety, and the inevitable apathy. These are stories of dark comedy and just plain darkness taking cue from writers the likes of Brett Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Joyce Carol Oates, but with a little less than one foot on the ground and more than a couple twitching antennae in the clouds.

About the Author

Logan Ryan Smith writes unclassifiable fiction that fits somewhere in between dark fantasy, transgressive, and literary, all with a dark comedy underbelly and lyrical leaning. Enjoy Me, a collection of interconnected stories told by the same narrator, is his first full volume of fiction. Though focusing exclusively on novels and short stories these days, his poetry books include The Singers & The Notes (Dusie Press, 2007), Stupid Birds (Transmission Press, 2007), and, most recently, Bug House (Mission Cleaners Books, 2013)-a narrative series of poems that shares many of the same fantasy elements of his fiction. Logan's fiction has appeared in Hobart Journal, Meat for Tea: The Valley Review, and Great Lakes Review, which nominated his story "Bret Easton Ellis" for a Pushcart Prize. Hailing from places all over California (San Francisco, Brawley, Crescent City, Sacramento), he now calls Chicago home.
