The 212-page novel includes two full-length CDs: one studio, the other live performances (36 total tracks featuring Mike Daily's spoken words performed with his band, O'GRADY, in Portland, Oregon).

ALARM carries on the humorously visual narratives of fictional character Mick O'Grady, introduced in Daily's first novel, Valley (Bend Press, 1998). Of that novel, RAY GUN MAGAZINE wrote, "Mike Daily packs so many stylish smash cuts into Valley, MTV dulls by comparison."

ALARM finds O'Grady "settling into unsettlement" in the weeks after the hit on the World Trade Center: he's jobless, watching the news, shaky in his relationship, cautious with friends, curious with strangers, daydreaming. He's lost. But as the story progresses, Mick's movement becomes more purposeful. He needs to eat. He needs to sell some of his used CDs. He gets a job. He gets two jobs. What is the meaning of this?

ALARM is a stripped-down novel (and accompanying audio artifact) of confusion, alienation, and rediscovery of hope in the post-9/11 era that reads like a love letter to a friend and a promise to the future.]]> 751756 4.11 19 5 2007 2106102 0964359820 9780964359826 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2106102.Valley 4.00 5 751756 4.11 19 5 1998 6382351 9781127644421 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238975736m/6382351.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1238975736s/6382351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6382351-gagaku-meat 4.50 4
