Announcing Mastication Publications

I'm pleased to formally announce the resurrection of my old indie press imprint, Mastication Publications! While we've existed since 1991, and printed a number of chapbooks and ephemera over the past twenty years, this really marks a new phase in the press' development, as we will be more aggressively entering the ebook market and developing new projects. Our tagline is "Unusual Ideas to Chew On". Here's a snippet from the mission statement on our "About Us" page which elaborates: We see this press as more of a creative laboratory than some vain enterprise in self-publishing. It is a venue for…

Found Bones and other Word Art/Poems

Inspired by the terrifc response we're getting to the Fridge of the Damned magnetic word tile campaign, I'll be posting poems (made with real or virtual poetry magnets) and related "word art" to the project's Flickr set. Drop by and check them out from time to time. This set can also include your own poems written with The Fridge of the Damned in the mind, if you care to share. Just email photos to me and I'll post them. Remember: the kickstarter campaign ends February 1st, 2013. Act swiftly if you want to be a part of the action!

For the month of January, Raw Dog Screaming Press, Microhorror.com and Gorelets.com are joining forces to campaign on Kickstarter to make The Fridge of the Damned: a twisted poetry word tile set (based on something that old fans of this site will be familiar with) that will make any sticky metal surface even stickier!

A Poem on the >Original< Fridge of the Damned

Here's a typical "gorelets" poem...made with virtual refrigerator magnets on the "original" Fridge of the Damned. The fridge has been in cold storage for about a decade...but I thought you'd like to see this. Because -- horror of horrors! -- it's nearly defrosted! And over the next few days you will find out about the surprising rebirth of this damned fridge in 2013! You'll likely be surprised. Mum's the word for now, but for more vague teasers like this, drop by my flickr account for a growing set of photos, and do come back soon. And in the mean time,…
