Impossible James Pre-Order Promo!

That's right. My new novel IMPOSSIBLE JAMES is up for preorder now.

From the back cover:

"My father was dying. There was no hope. Then he took a screwdriver to the brain. Got pregnant. And found the cure for death. Impossible? That's my dad."

Yeah, this is my most realized novel yet. It's bonkers. You're gonna love it.


And to help move those preorders along, I've decided to run a special promo:

1. Preorder IMPOSSIBLE JAMES 2. DM me proof of purchase + your address + the day you were born 3. Receive a handmade card with a weird one-of-a-kind message inside for your birthday 4. Enjoy IMPOSSIBLE JAMES when it's released on June 15th




You can order the book today on Amazon, or you can not fuck with that conglomerate bullshit and buy it directly from the publisher right here. And if you want to take part of the birthday promo, you can message me on any of my social medias (Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, Instagram) or email me directly at danger_slater@yahoo.com

Thanks everyone,
Danger.

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

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

Calling All Book Bloggers!!!

So, with the release of I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU just a month away (Feb. 8th) I figured why not paddle on out to see if we can catch another couple of waves before the book drops.

I'd be much appreciated, and trust me, you're gonna like the book.

Hope to hear/see you soon!

A Performance and an Anthology and and the Official Release Date for my Upcoming Novel!

Man, I'm not very creative with this post title, am I?

1. Tomorrow Dec. 4th you can watch me read at the Old Gilbert Road Tavern in Portland, OR for the inaugural show of the Gilbert Road Grotesque Variety Show. Hosted by Garrett Cook and Alicia Graves, it'll feature performances by yours truly along with other bizarro authors and comedians like G Arthur Brown and Karl Fischer. It'll be fun times, if you can make it.

COME SEE THE GILBERT ROAD GROTESQUE!

2. My story 'A Robot's Sonnet' will be reprinted in the 2015 Jersey Devil Press Anthology celebrating 6 years of my favorite online lit-mag. This was one of my all-time favorite pieces of short fiction and this book looks to be JAM PACKED with good writers.

PICK UP A COPY OF THE 2015 JERSEY DEVIL PRESS ANTHOLOGY!

3. The release date for my upcoming Fungasm Press novel I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU has been pushed back to February 8th, 2016. This is because we're trying to BUILD SOME PRESS before the book comes Out. So as John Skipp works his promotional magic from behind the scenes, I'm gonna pubically call on all of you fine people. IF you write for a publication (or know someone who does) AND you want a copy of the book for review: I'LL HOOK YOU UP. If you or someone you know runs a blog or a webpage or a podcast and would be interested in interviewing me or lettme me guest post: I'D BE DOWN FOR THAT TOO!

CONTACT ME HERE!

That's all for now.

Bye kids,

Danger.

An Interview and Two Upcoming Readings!

Short and sweet, here we go:

1. Did an interview with Christoph Paul on his excellent podcast The Passion of the Christoph.

LISTEN HERE or just download that shit from iTunes

2. October 1st doing a reading at The Lovecraft Bar in Portland, Oregon. This reading is the book release party of Garrett Cook's new novel A GOD OF HUNGRY WALLS as well as being the kick-off party for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. Lots of excellent bizarro writers will be performing, including (but not limited to) me, Garrett, Jeff Burk and Vince Kramer. I've written something special for this performance and it's either going to be a lot of fun or fail miserably.

HERE IS THE EVENT'S FACEBOOK PAGE

3. October 6th I'll be reading again at The Hour That Stretches at the Jade Lounge here in Portland. Last month the reading there went well. This month it should be even better, as my girlfriend Lisa LeStrange will be reading too and I think we're gonna perform our joint 'Interactive Erotic Friend Fiction' bit we did at the Bizarro Hour in Chicago. And I *might* perform the 'Popsicle' bit that won me 3rd place at last year's Bizarro Showdown.

HERE IS THE EVENT PAGE FOR THAT ONE

Come on out and support me if you can. I love you.

Danger

Upcoming Reading!

Hi there, my Dangerlings!

I got an upcoming reading on September 1st at the Jade Lounge in Portland, Oregon. The show is called The Hour That Stretches and will feature some new absurdist meta-fiction by me. And not only that, the one and only Garrett Cook will be reading there too! I'll even have some books with me for sale! It's gonna be a lot of fun! If you can come out, PLEASE DO.

For more details, stop being lazy and google that shit. Or click below for the Facebook event page:

THE HOUR THAT STRETCHES on SEPTEMBER 1st

That is all for now. Thanks, kids!

A Flash Fiction/Interview! And Upcoming Appearances!

Hellllllllllo ladies! And also gentlemen. And also not-so-gentlemen.

Here's what's going on:

Had a piece of flash fiction and an interview that ran on Kevin Strange's blog as a part of his new series he's calling 'Flash Me Fiction'. Essentially, I wrote a piece of flash called JUNE, and then Kevin asked me a few questions based off of the story. In true form, I regard most of those question with completely asinine answers. Again, here's the links:

JUNE/INTERVIEW

Next up, I've got two appearances scheduled.

The first is a reading at G-Mart Comics on August 1st in Chicago. It's part of the Bizarro Hour organized by Michael Allen Rose, and if you've ever seen any of their shows before, it promises to be a fun and funny time. We start at 8, so if you're in the area, COME ON BY!

Here is the Facebook event page for the Bizarro Hour with all relevant information.

And finally, you can catch me at the ScareLA convention in...well..Los Angels. That is August 8th and 9th. I'll be boozing and schmoozing and if you're there, come up say HI to me and make me feel like a big shot!

Here's the Facebook page for ScareLA.

Both these "appearances" are a part of a 2 week cross country trip I will be on as I relocate from New Jersey to Portland, OR. Hopefully, my tires will stay inflated and the cops will regard my out-of-state plates with kindness.

That's all that's new in my world. Things will probably be picking up around here soon. There's a new novel that is quickly coming down the pike (should be available through Fungasm Press in October) and I have a few readings/performances slated for when I get to Portland, but I'm not sure of the dates yet.

Later lovelies!

Danger!
