The Ballad of the Two Tom Mores (Pub. Date: October 2009)

Corey Mesler

Buzz

The Ballad of the Two Tom Mores is set in the fictional Queneau, Arkansas. Restaurant reviewer Tom More is living the good life, small town style. He is a cad, a rural Romeo. But his sense of self is abruptly shaken when another man with the same name moves into Queneau. Meanwhile, as the inhabitants of this countrified Peyton Place are lustily carrying on, there is another darker energy at work. Somebody is bumping off the male inhabitants of Queneau. Someone, it would seem, is on a self-appointed mission of extermination. The Ballad of the Two Tom Mores is dark comedy at its most outrageous -- imagine a three-way between Carson McCullers, Henry Miller and Peter DeVries. (ISBN 978-0-9789847-1-7) $15.95.

Order

From the same metafictional universe as the films Best in Show and This is Spinal Tap, Walking Man documents the life and times of Brian Walker, publisher of the zine Walking Man. Through a fateful encounter between his foot and a yuppie's BMW, Brian becomes the most famous zine publisher in America and an ardent defender of pedestrian rights. Meanwhile, he must juggle the ambitions of his sexy actress girlfriend with his own soaring celebrity. Written in the tradition of the scandalous tell-all biography, Walking Man satirizes so-called "alternative" culture while it fondly recollects the 80s and 90s zine scene. (ISBN 978-0-9789847-0-0) $15.95.
