Upcoming Performances and My New Podcast!

Friends and Strangers Alike!

We're hitting the road next week (or rather, the sky, as I'll be taking an airplane) to take PUPPET SKIN out across America! Well, at least *part* of America. Denver, LA, and Portland LISTEN UP because we got some performances scheduled inside of you:

To wit: 

Oct. 18th in Denver 

Oct. 21st in LA/Burbank

Nov. 4th in Portland

These are going to be some pretty special and theatrical performances with a lot of funny and talented people (too many to tag them all) so if you ever wanted to check out a literary event THIS IS ONE YOU SHOULDN'T MISS.

And changing the subject entirely:

My girlfriend Lisa and I have just started a new comedy podcast called THE DANGER & LISA SHOW.

Available on iTunes, Stitcher, or directly from our host at Libsyn, here is the shows description:

It's a show where we just talk. To each other. For an hour. And that's it.

New episodes release every THURSDAY so make sure you subscribe.

Other than that, PUPPET SKIN is back up on Amazon proper, so make sure you pick up your copies while the getting iS good.

I love you all and thanks for the continued support

I've Written Some Non-Fiction! Also, Updates About PUPPET SKIN!

Hey Internet!

I haven't updated in a while. Things are happening. Slowly, they're happening.

Here's the first thing:

I've had two non-fiction essays run at the Clash Media website. Linking below:

WHY I DECIDED TO QUIT WRITING AND BECOME A KID ROCK FAN INSTEAD

-and-

SOMEONE ELSE'S BIG BREAK

I've found writing these personal essays to be a cathartic experience, so hopefully there will be more in the future. Keep your eyes peeled.

Here's the second thing:

There has been a few problems with the paperback version of PUPPET SKIN on Amazon. Some computer glitch keeps bumping it offline or something. I don't freakin' know what the deal is, but it's been that way for the better part of a month. YOU CAN STILL ORDER THE BOOK FROM AMAZON, but it might take a while to show up. So while my publisher tries to straighten that out, they've lowered the price of the Kindle version to $2.99.

PUPPET SKIN - $2.99 Kindle sale

If you want the paperback (and I fucking hope you do) your best bet right now would be to go through barnesandnoble.com or bookdespository.com. You can still get a good deal there, price-wise. And I believe Book Depository does free shipping, even internationally.

PUPPET SKIN at Barnes and Noble

PUPPET SKIN at Book Depository

If that's not good enough, feel free to shoot me a message on Facebook or Goodreads or shoot me an email at danger_slater@yahoo.com if you want a personalized copy mailed directly from ME to YOU.

That's all for now.

Forever real,
Danger

New Upcoming Novel! And My First Acting Job!

You read the title to this post. We're not burying the lead here. I HAVE A NEW NOVEL COMING OUT hot off the heels of my last one, I Will Rot Without You. The new book is called PUPPET SKIN and as you can see from that picture, the amazing Katie McCann once again did my cover art. Here the description from the back cover:

Hannah graduates from middle school on Friday. That is the day she transforms into a living puppet, like her parents and teachers before her. No longer a human girl made of flesh and feelings, but a perfect wooden NEW self, whose strings lead up from her limbs to an endless black void above. With no pain. No sorrow. No sickness. No fear.

But Hannah has begun to suspect something is very, very wrong. And in a world where emotion is treated like a disease, and unknown terrors lurk inside everyone, just keeping your soul alive past childhood might be the greatest challenge of all.

"Puppet Skin is a dark, grotesquely-beautiful Bizarro nightmare fable for alienated teens of all ages. If you've ever felt lost in this deranged universe, Danger's book knows exactly what you mean." - John Skipp, author of THE LIGHT AT THE END and THE ART OF HORRIBLE PEOPLE

ARCs are available RIGHT NOW so if you are a blogger or reviewer (or know a reviewer) hit me up at danger_slater@yahoo.com and we'll see what we can do about getting you a copy.

The book releases this July, from Fungasm Press.

And if that wasn't enough...THERE'S MORE!

I have a small cameo in Anti-Films new movie THE WOLF AND THE BABY, a weird horror-comedy-thriller-I-don't-know-what-to-call-it. The whole movie is available to watch RIGHT NOW, FOR FREE on YouTube:

YOU CAN WATCH IT RIGHT HERE BY CLICKING THIS LINK!

The Anti-Films guys are great. They even gave me a speaking role which officially puts me on IMDb! Plus they're fans of my books. HOW FREAKIN' COOL IS THAT?

So please enjoy the film. Especially since it's free.

Thanks!

Danger.

Post Convention Book Sale!

After a successful and FUN weekend selling books with MP Johnson at Days of the Dead in Los Angeles, I have a bunch of extra copies of my books available. So if anyone out there wants to buy one from me directly, send me a message at or here or at my email at: danger_slater@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

~ Danger

Days of the Dead! LA Convention!

Let's not bury the lead:

Catch me and MP Johnson selling books and being weird at the Days of the Dead horror convention in Los Angeles, April 1-3rd. I'll be there with copies of I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU and MP and I (along with John Skipp and others) will also be on a panel Friday night called 'The Bizarro Invasion'. Then on Sunday I will be doing a reading at Dark Delicacies book store.

SHOULD BE FUN! COME OUT AND PARTY!

Love,

Danger

I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU is OUT NOW!!!!

Guess what?!

My new novel I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU is out now. Available on Amazon and other fine places.

From the back cover:

WHEN THE WORLD FALL APART AND YOUR BODY STARTS TO ROT, LET THE ROACHES LEAD.

Meet Ernie. His life is a mess. Gretchen's gone, and the apartment they once shared in this grey, grim city is now overrun with intelligent mold and sinister bugs.

Then his neighbor Dee shows up, so smart and lovely. If he can just get past the fact that her jealous ex-boyfriend can reach out of her blouse and punch him in the face at any moment, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Unfortunately for all involved, a Great Storm is coming and it will wash away everything we've ever known about the human heart.

"I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU is like Cronenberg's THE FLY if it had been directed by Frank Zappa and Bruce Bickford. Nightmarishly rich in vision, absurdly and painfully hilarious, sorrowfully poignant, and bristling with outrageous surprises that never ever ever stop coming till it's done." - John Skipp, from his introduction

BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY!

Also, I did Frank Edler's new podcast Bizzong! where I talked about the process of writing this book. You can find that on iTunes, Stitcher, or at the link I'm providing below:

Bizzong! episode 1

Also, also, the Fungasm Press website is now up, where you can pick up copies of ROT, see links to some of my stuff, and check out what the other Fungasm writers are up to. Good books, good people.

CHECK IT OUT

That's it.

Love you all,

Danger
