I'm proud to announce that I have a story in the Magazine of Bizarro Fiction#1, now available. I'm proud of this story, proud of the strong company in and proud to be part of Bizarro fiction. Fans of the weird, the pulpy and the hilarious will thoroughly dig it.

That any prospective readers live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, my book Murderland Part 1:H8 is available at the Warrenville Public Library. Also, on July 11th at 4 o' clock, I will be doing a signing at the Borders in Naperville Illinois.

A friend recently came up with a great idea that he shared with me. Stories to order.

For five dollars you can get your story told or receive a series of pieces of flash fiction involving these elements within a week.
OR
for you writers, budding writers and people curious about the process by buying five fun, weird pitches. Three dollars, five Bizarro ready, perhaps horror tinged strange ideas. One novel/novella length project among them guaranteed.

Stories to order: five dollars, finished in a week
Five strange ideas: three dollars, three days

As I post here, the first chapter of Archelon Ranch will be posted here on Goodreads September 1st. Check it out!

Charles Hatbox is a man with a problem. Unpublished, unlucky and just plain down and out, he agreed to trade bodies with teddybear detective Jimmy Plush. While life as an awful pulp novelist is bad, life as a three foot teddybear detective is very bad and life as a three foot teddybear detective who has alienated the entire town with his self-serving sociopathic behavior is virtually unlivable. Not that it's much of a town anyway, what with the Furry prostitutes, the cannibal cops, the warehouse size mob bosses and a wannabe Fu Manchu whose got his fingers in every pie. All the newly minted Mr.Plush has going for him is a faithful Chinese chauffeur, an unfaithful femme fatale who won't take off the fox suit she turns tricks in and a custom teddybear .45.
This is the plot of my upcoming book Jimmy Plush, Teddybear Detective, a high octane pulp satire in the tradition of Mickey Spillane, Hellboy, Dick Tracy and Howard the Duck. It's coming soon from Eraserhead Press publishers of Shatnerquake, the works of Carlton Mellick and a lot of your Bizarro favorites. I'm taking preorders for this now. For ten dollars, you'll get a copy of the book when it comes out free of shipping. Pretty good, considering what's in it. But for 20 dollars you get one of twenty signed and hand numbered special editions with an origin story, you get emailed a sample chapter of Murderland Part 3: Godless and you get entered into a raffle to win your very own cuddly but deadly Jimmy Plush teddy bear. It's one of a kind. There are only nineteen of these special editions remaining, so act fast before they make like a tree. Get your preorders here: http://thegarrettcook.blogspot.com
