New From Black Bile Press
One-offs Chapbooks Series Three, featuring:
Tony O’Neill
Julie McArthur
Nathaniel G. Moore
Black Bile Press is back with its third series of one-off, single story chapbooks by three of the literary underground’s hardest hitters.
Tony O’Neill is an internationally-renowned writer of salty fiction. His novels include Digging the Vein (Contemporary Press) and Down and Out on Murder Mile (Harper Perennial). Now Black Bile Press has the honour of publishing his chapbook Bill Bailey, a hilarious story about a man, a hirsute woman and an unlucky, yappy dog. This is a unique opportunity to own a limited edition O’Neill publication that will sell out quickly and never be reprinted.
Julie McArthur is a rising literary gem from Toronto. Her chapbook Men and the Drink centres on a woman’s survival strategy for dealing with men in her life. Told in McArthur’s deadpan, succinct style, the story blends humour and panache just so.
Nathaniel G. Moore is a well-known and respected writer of irreverent short fiction and the perfect fit for a Black Bile Press chapbook. His book “Sensational Sherri” is a ribald tale that mingles wrestling, pornography, booze, obsession and nostalgia like only Mr. Moore can.
This threesome of writers and their books represent the best of the best when it comes to fierce and fiery short fiction. Each story is published as a limited edition, single story chapbook, carefully assembled but anything but precious.
Order all three books for only $10.00 (plus $2.00 postage), for a ridiculously good final price of $12.00 for all three books. Or order one chapbook (please specify the title) for $6.00 ($5.00 for the book, plus $1.00 postage).
Also, the new issue of Front & Centre #22 is now available. Read gripping new fiction from Julie McArthur, Victor Sakalauskas, Drew Gates, Lisa Foley, Joel Williams, Zdravka Evtimova, and Gregory K. Betts. Includes reviews of books by Kerry Kelly, Seymour Shubin, Dan Fante, Richard Labonte & Lawrence Schimel, Lisa Foad, and Cynthia Flood. This jam-packed magazine is also $5.00, plus $1.00 postage.
“Matthew Firth’s seminal, wonderful, creme-de-la-creme lit mag is a must for anyone remotely interested in bold new writing. Each issue is full of the cream of new, ballsy, international writing and should be devoured, cherished and held onto as gold-dust for when the painstakingly selected talent on offer make it inevitably massive. One of the very best which I heartily recommend you subscribe to.” Laura Hird
