The Radical Futures Project Tackles Hungry Rats

Posted by connor on March 14, 2011

“Bella has nothing on Meredith Malady.”

The Radical Futures Project has reviewed my book Hungry Rats and interviewed me personally.
You can read the interview here.  We talked about 2nd person fiction, self-publishing, writerly education, the avant-garde, and Rust Belt art.
You can read Lee Ford’s Amazon Review here.  She wrote that “this novel is part poem, part Sweeney-Todd drunken butcher’s opera, with a dash of logging-town historical fiction. What starts as a dark, licorice-flavored coming-of-age story poses, by the end, a serious mystery in which we as readers feel compelled to choose an allegiance.”

Give the Gift of Hungry Rats

Posted by connor on December 1, 2010

In 2010, Santa’s bringing you a violent tale of cold and callous murder.
In 2010, Santa’s bringing you Hungry Rats.
Also suitable for Chanukah, Kwanzaa, New Years, Chinese New Years, and other holidays.

http://hungryrats.com.

Why would you want to give a gift like this at such a festive time of year?

Well… why does dark, strong coffee taste so good with cakes and pumpkin pie? This is the holiday season, but it’s also the coldest, darkest time of year. Sooner or later that sun is going to go down, and your loved ones might as well curl up with a Gothic teen noir tale spawned in the rancid depths of America’s beleaguered middle.

COMING SOON: Versions of the novel will be available in eBook and Amazon Kindle format. Stay tuned for more on these 21st century reading options!
