Here, you'll find the downtrodden and dirty. Because it's in the mud, in the dark-in mainlined misery-that truth reveals herself in all her filth-caked, blood-crusted glory.In this volume, you'll find 20 stories that explore the shadow side of humanity. Stories that might disquiet, upset, or even enrage certain readers. Outcast-Press believes that what you need most often lurks in the recesses you least want to tread: taboo topics, disturbing imagery, and that dreaded, murky "gray area." Outcast-Press doesn't cater to cries for censorship because we believe the best art isn't comfortable or comforting. Reading isn't a spectator sport. And since life doesn't come with a trigger warning, neither should literature.

What could be more noir than a diner? From the greasy spoon to the gourmet sit-in, these 18 stories show why diners aren't family friendly. Diners are the place where heists are plotted, bodies get dumped behind, and police are tipped off. These eateries host every crime from domestic disputes and drug deals to premeditated murder and mob mutiny. It's all fluorescent-lit, fly-riddled entertainment to the drunk, recovering, or wish-they-were.Whether the characters are the cooks, criminals, customers, or somewhere in-between, these short works pack a gut punch on par with the saltiest, soggiest Grand Slam breakfast special. There're breakups and bruises, gambling rackets and gang warfare, butchering and familial dismemberment--even schmoes tapping into a parallel universe or two. No matter who enters or at what time, wet, weary eyes always seem to find a steaming cup of joe to cloud-gaze in--and cry.(Forewords by Nevada McPherson and Manny Torres, titled, "Get in, loser.

From cheese Danishes and cheery puppets to Commie directors and curmudgeonly talk show hosts, this light novel is how Finley Luker rediscovers life after The Marshmallow Show is cancelled. Hopping out of his father's shadow as the famed creator of Marshmallow is no small task, but it brings about better ones. Thus, Finley brings the obnoxious bunny character to late-night television, stars in an offbeat biopic as Fidel Castro called Fidelity¿and he's getting married in Vegas! Blended with cute awkwardness and high-pitch-perfect irony, this cast of sweet-to-screamy eccentrics proves the acting life is a soft satire in itself-and everybody has reinvention in their heart before it hardens.

The Marshmallow Show is Cancelled

Regan, Debby

Humor & Satire

Road trips after bong rips, side-stepping ghost towns and junkie compounds, suffering paranoia while scaling Mojave Desert steppes. Three college friends explore America while searching for a place that feels like home amid the cross-country alienation that Covid-19 and the 2020 election has worsened.What would Hunter S. Thompson's Fear & Loathing look like reimagined by Gen Zers during Covid times? There'd be just as many coke lines railed in Vegas and acid tabs absorbed in New Orleans. A few more street fights with flashed metal but just as much philosophizing.As main character Morrison says, "Perhaps a third eye could be our lantern in the dark."
