From the author of Between the Shadow & Lo, The INFP Revolution, Firefly, INFJ and writer coach blogs. A novel set in the 80s about Alex taking care of disabled family and rediscovering estranged parents. They run away to find out about them and their love of heavy metal. 

Roger is the only father Alex has ever known, although he’s not much of a father. Years after coming back from Vietnam, Roger is severely disabled, and dependent on Alex just to get by every day. A loner by nature, Alex hardly notices that he doesn’t lead a normal teenage life. Dealing with Roger’s mental breakdowns is a routine part of his existence. Heavy metal is one of his only escapes, as well as the clearing in the woods behind his trailer park. The clearing is a space that feels like his own private world, and it’s also his special place with Alyssa, his best and only friend.

With every day that passes, Roger’s health fails a little more, and Alex begins to fixate on the big questions that Roger has always avoided: Where is Alex’s mother? Why can he barely remember her? And why did she abandon her young son so long ago? When Alex and Alyssa finally get the chance to run away together, Alex decides to investigate his mother’s past and he finds something he never expected. The truth shatters him to the core, and triggers a chain of events that has explosive consequences for everyone, setting Alex on a fated path that changes him forever.

BOOK 3, SEQUEL TO POSER AND CRACKER  (also available) “This is what you would get if Quentin Tarantino ever made a Lifetime movie." --Whiskey Leavins, author of The Devil's Own Piss and Other Stories, as well as Murder in Greasepaint

In this installment of the Eucalyptus Lane series, though Ambrose should be clinking drinks with Jessica on the patio, he keeps his knuckles tense to prevent his life in the city from encroaching on the picture-perfect one in Palo Alto. There's hardly time to contemplate his next move, let alone one from Russian gangster Alexei. Miss Dover’s deceit still haunts him, along with the body at the bottom of Lake Tahoe and Randy’s knowledge of it.

Throw in those confusing, lingering feelings for Bennie, the ill-gotten money tied up in the new business, his ex-con brother Butch coming to live in the guesthouse—and the massive bulk below the surface just keeps growing. No wonder Ambrose and everyone close to him are on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

All his life, Ambrose has only had one responsibility: to stay alive. Now there’s that plus Jessica’s growing distrust, a baby on the way, his betrayal of Bennie, his brother's disapproval of his posse despite the irony of Butch becoming increasingly tight with Randy. Add in Alexei’s silky, seductive tales of untold riches and future backing for things Ambrose would very much like to pursue--even though he should absolutely know better by now—and the "perfect" life he's built for himself threatens to crash and burn.

Some lessons just have to be learned the hard way.

A Eucalyptus Lane Novel

Baller: Book 3

Timothy Atkinson

An alcoholic pervert with medical problems flails at finding love and meaning in his basic existence, a la an incel.

Help Me I Am in Hell follows the first person exploits of a disturbed hypochondriac and his frantic abuse of drugs, booze and women in an effort to assuage the constant barrage of anxiety and fear that assaults him as he weaves his way through the dark underbelly of Los Angeles in search of his next fix. What follows is a crass, edgy and taut exploration of a mind suffocating from addiction and mental illness.

Forest giants to finding gods w/ golden paintbrushs. Strippers and serial killers. Suiciders and soup-brained oldies. 

Drunken mourners of their own lives. Pretentious painters who dip their brushes in blood. 

Scientific rubberneckers/car crash fetishists. Riding a bus into the starry infinite (not like Miss Frizzle though). 

Imagine Beavis and Butthead talking about humanity vs. space while staring into the abyss.

One theme bleeds into the next, creating new but linking stories out of a specific vocab: Everything is crumbling, crimson, convulsing, harsh and tattered, collapsed in upon itself, animalistic as now-empty skeletons. There's the eruption of debris, thunder and light(ning), realities melding and fading, everyone burning and screaming in an acrid apocalypse.

This soft satire about Hollywood (child) actors comes with stickers from Outcast Press stickers

From cheese Danishes and cheery puppets to Commie directors and curmudgeonly talk show hosts, this novella 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.

Our city is an ocean. Every night one of our neighbors drowns in a crack on the sidewalk. Every night we call it hope to climb our way to the moon--just to panic when we can't find an airplane or meteor to catch a ride home on. We spend days treading water with someone we love, hoping that a wave doesn't rise and block our view of the sun. These 30+ illustrated poems exemplify that floating feeling of being between sobriety, society, and stillness. Austin Davis is a poet and activist from Phoenix, AZ, who lives with OCD. He is the author of the chapbook Lotus & The Apocalypse and the founder of AZ Hugs For the Houseless. "Like a Gen-Z John Donne..." - Angele Ellis, Cultural Daily "Davis holds in his hands an understanding for the diversity of emotion like it's the fragile globe of a dandelion ready for wishes." - Caitie Young, The Poetry Question

An Anthology of Transgressive Fiction

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.

In Filth It Shall Be Found

Comes signed by author with Outcast Press stickers

Inspired by a rainbow array of drug fiends and fiended-over druggies, Percocet Summer encompasses the rush of the solstice, odd obsessions, and other crushables (people and pills and moods). From Florida sweat to Georgia peach sweetness, NYC high-rollers to skidding-by wannabes, these 35+ illustrated poems cover all the shady crevices of a summer well-wasted. We're talking the lows of eating disorders and intervention, to the throes of psychedelia and romance, then the in-betweens of internet celebrity and international/dimensional travel. Gas station syringes and cotton candy softness, rap-fast slang to gushy Valentine verses, cheeky loves to sophisticated manipulators.This collection blurs dirty realism and noir like a Lana Del Rey love song. This is the first installment of the four-part series, Seasonal Dissociation: Poetry for Distancing Dates and Doses. Other titles include Cracked Leaves & Autumn Lines, Citrus Springs, and Aurora Shards of Winter. This is Paige Johnson's debut poetry book. She put together and featured in the short story collections Slut Vomit: An Anthology of Sex Work and In Filth It Shall Be Found. She's working on her third novel, Where Me & The Vultures Live, about a lonely Miami cam-girl who lives out of a motel. The first chapter of such appears in Anxious Nothings (Anxiety Press, 2022) alongside many illustrated, ironically erotic stories and essays.

Put Out the Lights and Cry

b61ffdfe-3db5-48bd-ba3a-e38ca2f62358-1

Compensated cuddle bunnies, cross-dressing diplomats, garden boy-seducing GILFs. That's just the start of this subversive short story collection. Take a ride on the wild side as Outcast Press explores the world of p!ss boys and pantie sellers, every echelon of erotic entertainer from scag-seeking street-walkers to doted-upon sugar babies. There're reverends who like it in the rear, classically trained dancers who take their talents to the LED-lighted pole, strippers and far scarier (or surprisingly helpful) johns, dungeon masters vs dragons of industry, and weapon-wielding pornographers. Every shade of prostitution and fetishism finds a home here, as vividly represented as the LGBT spectrum.

Slut Vomit is inspired by an OnlyFans (Premium Instagram, and the like) creator who goes by the same name. Known for her creative handles (SlxtVxmit, MorgueBabii, p$ych Ward $horty, Pixie Stickz), and alternative stylings (rainbow hair, gauged ears, copious piercings and tattoos), she is a roman candle of transgressive expression.

In this second installment of Outcast Press anthologies, you’ll find 20 stories that explore the ironic side of the adult entertainment industry. These pieces might concern, trouble, or obviously offend some readers. Outcast Press doesn’t shrink at screams for softening the words or worlds the authors (invariably sex-workers themselves) sculpt.

We know the most alluring entertainment isn’t afraid to take the seedy route. We’re gagging for the dirty, sludgy, puke-crusted stuff. We don’t sanction condom-wrapped prose. Life is often “degrading” in a way that has nothing to do with sex, and so candid literature is what we writ(h)e for.

These slices of life raise a glass to the new, “degenerate” working class: We don’t mind how damaged, destitute, or disenchanted you start. Here’s to spilling your guts so that daffodils, dollar bills, and bliss may rise from the sultry stains.

It's a trembling walk down the tightrope between domestic bliss in Palo Alto, California, and constant jeopardy back in San Fransico.
