He co-edited the satiric transgressive fiction collection D*CKED: DARK FICTION INSPIRED BY DICK CHENEY and his debut novel KOKO TAKES A HOLIDAY is out now from Titan Books.

Singing About Singer

Holy cow. I just realized something. Any day now my copy of Needle Magazine will be arriving in the mail. In a roundabout way I know or have had contact with most of the contributors except for a few. But, duh, I didn't put together the name Singer with Nathan Singer for some reason. Wow. If you haven't read A PRAYER FOR DAWN and want to trip the Hubert Selby Jr.-esque fantastic...read this book. I will warn you though. Prepare for mental damage and broken bones.
