Simply specify which title you’d like in the notes during PayPal checkout and we’ll include it at no extra charge.
Each hardcover edition of Scary, No Scary comes signed and numbered by Schomburg himself, and includes a limited edition letter pressed mini-broadside from Brave Men Press. This package was created in a limited quantity of 200 and only about half of them remain.
As always, every order receives free shipping from our website. Thanks for your time and enjoy your Halloween! ]]>
My fellow Americans, in these economic times, when it is so easy to say "scary," you should say, "no scary." Go to SPD (http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/9780977...), Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Man-Suit-Zachary-S...), or the Black Ocean Blog (http://www.blackocean.org/scary-no-scary) (if you are a fan of free shipping) and exercise your patriotism. You will be rewarded with new limbs, jaguars, and a parade. This is my word to you.
Praise for The Man Suit by Zachary Schomburg:
“Zachary Schomburg may be one of the sincerest surrealists around.”—Publishers Weekly
“Delightfully bewildering. . . . the dark undercurrent that fuels this collection never extinguishes the glow of its playfulness.”—Bookslut
“Like Tate, Schomburg records a twisted, neighborly hope, or, like Edson, violent, dreary complications of the everyday.”—Jacket ]]>
