SHINING THE LIGHT Audiobook

The tragic story of legendary musician Homer Antumbra is now on Audible. Sean Duregger (narrator of The Fetishists, The Devil’s Gospel, Kill for Satan!, Gods of the Dark Web, and a ton of other titles) did a fantastic job with the narration.

Check it out on Audible here.

Paperback available via Atlatl Press. Signed copies available at ascoomer.com.

From the back cover:

There’s a monster on the loose. All across the Ohio River Valley women are going missing.

Jacob Hunter Goodman’s childhood is filled with trauma. When he reaches adulthood, God calls on Jacob and he answers with a fervor unlike anyone before him. Jacob is compelled to make strange religious sculptures but each piece has a sinister secret.

In BIRTH OF A MONSTER, A.S. Coomer holds the mirror up to a sick culture of power and dominance worship and the kind of monsters it can create.

All the best,

A.S. Coomer

BIRTH OF A MONTER Paperback Out Now

Happy Saturday, y’all,

Yesterday was publication day for my latest novel BIRTH OF A MONSTER. It’s a book about America’s worship of violence, especially violence against women. It’s a beast of a book—in fact, it’s Grindhouse Press’s longest title. After a delay with the printer the 628-page paperback is now available. Pick up a copy here. I’ll have signed copies available soon.

Big thanks to C.V. Hunt & Andersen Prunty for all their hard work on this project.

All the best,

A.S. Coomer

Signed Copies of Rush’s Deal Now Available

I’ve got a few copies of Rush’s Deal for sale. For $20 I’ll sign a copy and mail it to your door. I’ll even include a few goodies for you.

Rush Walters is a kid looking for the answers. What answers? All of them. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to get them too: black magic, praying, tasseography, extensive studying, bibliomancy, summoning demons and personal guardian angels, reading comic books, just to name a few. Rush, every bit the coming-of-age teenager, is oblivious to the repercussions his actions have on those around him.

RUSH’S DEAL dives headlong into the Faustian, remarkably dark and, at times, very humorous pursuit of knowledge. Demons, drunks, guardian angels, vampires, nuns and train-hopping hobos all make—or fail to make, alas—an appearance over the course of the story. Will Rush Walters find what he’s looking for? What will he be willing to do to get it? What’ll the consequences be?

All the best,

A.S. Coomer

Interview and New Work in Ramingo

Catfish McDaris interviewed me recently. He asked me questions about my writing, books, music, art, magic lamps, and a slew of other things for Ramingo. I got to talk about Memorabilia (11:11 Press), Shining the Light (Atlatl Press), Rush’s Deal (forthcoming from Alien Buddha Press), Misdeeds (forthcoming from Shotgun Honey Books), Birth of a Monster (forthcoming from Grindhouse Press), my ambient records Rural Eminence Volumes I & II, my new EP Old Fort Sessions, & my band The Coomers.

Catfish and the other editors were kind enough to publish a new piece of flash fiction titled Lace, a new poem The [Little] Big Sleep, and they reprinted my poem Even a Little Shit Can Make a Big Stink (originally pub’d in The Rye Whiskey Review).

We also touched on some of my recently published works in The Collected Voices from the Expanded Field (11:11 Press), Cowboy Jamboree Magazine, Hobart, FILTH, C.V. Hunt’s HORRORAMA (Grindhouse Press), The Dope Fiend Daily, Back Patio Press, The Rye Whiskey Review, Michele McDannold’s This Is Poetry Volume IV: Poets of the South (Citizens of Decent Literature Press).

You read all of it here.

Thanks to all the Ramingo staff: Elena Bello, Mendes Biondo, John D Robinson, & Catfish McDaris.

All the best,

A.S. Coomer
