The Gorelets Omnibus for Kindle and More on Amazon.com

You can now get the Gorelets Omnibus as an e-book for the Kindle along with all the other editions, from amazon.com. I think this is very cool, because gorelets -- which, a decade ago, were originally a series of poems that were written for PDAs, the first handheld e-readers -- are now available in ebook format for your cell phone (if you have the Kindle app). This feels like coming full circle. Just so you're aware: the Kindle edition is an electronic adaptation of the paperback edition.

A note of thanks to all who pre-ordered my next book — and a glimpse at the jacket…

Just a quick note of thanks to all who pre-ordered The Gorelets Omnibus directly from the publisher. Soon you'll have a smooth clean first-on-the-block book in your hands along with a collectible all-original poem on fancy paper for your kindness.  Oh, and lots of embarrassingly outrageous exclamations in public when you're not otherwise dry heaving.  Enjoy! I think this weekend was the deadline to pre-order, but so long as those buttons on their website allow you to preorder, you still might qualify for the free extra during the grace period if you're quick.  If you didn't preorder, don't be shy: …

Pre-order The Gorelets Omnibus!

My latest book is now available for pre-order.  And I'm very proud to share it with you, because it's the result of a decade of work right here on gorelets.com.  It's a big honking book of dreadful little things called THE GORELETS OMNIBUS. I'll paste the publisher's description below, but if you want to jump right to their catalog, Raw Dog Screaming Press (publisher of my other books, 100 Jolts and Play Dead) are now accepting pre-orders on their website.  PREORDERS WILL GET A FREE SIGNED BROADSIDE AS A COLLECTIBLE BONUS. The book will likely ship in late January 2012. …
