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.

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.
