From the mind of Chris Rhatigan, Watch You Drown includes fourteen tales of modern crime. Kleptos stealing, dealers dealing, grifters grifting.

These characters drift through ordinary places -- gas stations and big-box stores, shabby apartments and urine-soaked alleys -- screwing everything up as they go, leaving behind the nauseating stank of desperation. In Rhatigan's world, there are no winners, only people who haven't lost yet.

Watch You Drown is sometimes wrenching, sometimes surreal, sometimes disgusting, and always noir.

And The Street Screamed Blue Murder! the latest novella from the mind of Jason Michel - Pushcart Prize nominee and The Dictator of the cult Pulp Metal Magazine -

It is the tragic history of Alfie Lime, a journalist working for a whistle-blowing paper who becomes trapped in a series of sinister events that will change his life forever.

Beginning with an impossible murder, the story leads us on a spiralling journey of betrayal into the surreal underbelly of Paris and its most secret street. A mysterious street where the inhabitants are not what they appear to be.

And neither is anything else ...

2011-02-23T18:13:00.003+01:00

Pirate Queen, Jodi MacArthur has written a splendid review of COABD on the Amazon site & I thank her kindly.

Here it is:

COABD is a journey, a journal, a collection of dreams, events, people, lives, fortunes and unfortunes, superstitions, peace and paranoia. It's a book about the end of the world and the beginning of a new one: mythologies revived, religion burned at the stake. All is told through the voice of Sam and what he discovers in a sort of trustworthy soul mate, a black dog that pops in and out of his life and dreams.

Jason Michel lays his soul bare in photo negative like prose, recounting life's ironies, truths, lies, loves and hates through many faces we all have seen and recognize. I feel the book is brilliant from the absurd punctuation and word spacing to the sort of stream of conscience flow that makes no logical sense, but makes perfect sense as it speaks between lines of logic. He argues with gods, and pays a high price. What the hell does that mean?

Read the book and find out for yourself.

I highly recommend it.

Richard Godwin writes COABD!

2011-01-17T18:47:00.002+01:00

Richard Godwin, that Master of the Macabre, regular PMM contributor & author of the forthcoming “Apostle Rising” has written a very kind review of COABD.

Jason Michel’s ‘Confessions Of A Dog’ is imbued with genius.

It is richly rooted in the traditions of European literature, religion, the esoteric and the need for iconoclasm.

The protagonist, Samuel Morgan, has a taste of Beckett’s Molloy in his refreshingly spirited view of the fallen world we live in. And it is this sense of some postlapsarian nightmare awakening after a fog of booze and seeing that the nightmare is real that is the power of the novel. Samuel Morgan sees the world through the distorting lens of alienation.

Jason Michel writes with humanity and generosity and a keen sense of style and humour.

The novel moves from the comical to the agonisingly pained experience of isolation.

Jason Michel has inherited and made his own the works of Celine, Genet, Beckett and Joyce.

The novel is by turns comic and tragic.

Samuel Morgan is looking for himself in foreign lands and sexual adventure, in the esotericism he encounters and the blurring of his points of reference.

The novel traces the protagonist’s path through various countries and pathways into the self and the author conveys what real travel is, an exploration of an inner map you do not get through a college degree. In the prose and Jason Michel’s subtle characterisations you get the sense that the search for self is ultimately the most illusory addiction of all.

‘Confessions Of A Black Dog’ is humane, intelligent, witty, beautifully and honestly written.

From the moment when at aged eight Samuel Morgan finds a bat

‘he had saved from behind the radiator [which] drowned itself in the milk he had left out for it’

to the ending where the author writes:

‘Close your eyes.

Just for me.

Can you see the trees in the desert?

Can you see how tragic it looks?

It is all gnarled, rough and desperate.

It doesn’t want to be a there anymore.

Can you see the Black Dog lying under it? This whole book had been on my head some way or another. Most of the characters are based on real people, some are not, but this book started with a dream about a Black Dog and so it will finish with one’,

the novel is full of the sense of the ways we sabotage ourselves, the inbuilt mechanisms whereby we are undermined by the past until we liberate ourselves from whatever tyranny is enslaving us.

The resident symbol is used by the author to represent the self undoing we seek.

The slow excavation we make in the sweating dark, the sense of Amor Fati.

Jason Michel achieves that sense of destiny.

The destiny of Jason Michel’s novel is to be read widely read.

The story is full of humanity.

"Write What Thou Wilt" is our motto. Freedom of expression. I hope, without pandering to "commercial interests" or an audience. I believe, we do not give a rat's ass if you like our stories or not. Or, if you are offended by them. One man's Bible is another man's obscenity.

This freedom cannot be maintained without the freedom of information. One is productive, one is receptive. This is why I believe Wikileaks is important & why we should protect it. If not, I fear that one day we will look back at the Golden Age Of The Internet & all the freedoms that we lost.

"Confessions Of A Black Dog" is out now.

2010-12-07T17:11:00.008+01:00

Ladies, Gents & all those in between.

I am proud to announce that my debut novel "Confessions Of A Black Dog" & "youre dead and i killed you - a conversational anthology of noir, crime, and murder" featuring a couple of stories & a short essay of mine are finally available here at Pablo D'Stair's mighty independent press - BrownpaperpublishinG.

You can buy both here - WOOF!

Here's an old review of my self-published effort to wet your whistle:

Jason Michel’s Confessions of a Black Dog is a novel-length Zen koan. The book follows the adventures of Sam Morgan, who travels through Europe and Thailand. Sam is the main character but the book occasionally switches points of view to other characters.

Everyone in the book is alienated in some way. Some are alienated from other people, some from their country, others from themselves. Everyone in the book has given up hope, at least in the American sense of the word, and are consequently both liberated and downtrodden.

Michel’s novel constantly offers unsolvable dichotomies and metaphysical puzzles. Every action, every word, every character in the book is temporal and fleeting and yet everything is eternal. The main question, unanswerable even to Sam himself, is whether he is going insane or whether there is some objective truth in his ability to communicate with dead people, gods and demons. The reader follows Sam’s line of questioning and, if they are anything like me (and I am nothing if not an “average” reader) begins to feel at some point that the book is providing a definitive answer to the puzzle. But another paragraph or two later, the question is once again muddled and the reader is once again left unsure.

The genius of the book lies in its narrator. At first Dostoyevskian (in that he is omnipresent, is able to relate the exact thoughts and feelings of every character and yet is clearly an actual person, though he never reveals exactly who he is) he slowly reveals himself. The narrator actually becomes the key to understanding the novel, if it’s possible to understand it at all. In short, the narrator is a great revelation, yet he answers nothing.

Confessions of a Black Dog is a book that almost requires multiple readings. The mysteries it raises constantly leading to other questions and puzzles. For days afterward, I carried this book in my mind at work and at home. Highly recommended.

Mini-View with Jason Michel:

What inspired you to write this novel? How long did it take?

The Black Dog did, literally!
I’ve always been fascinated with dreams and the nature of them. When we dream they seem as real to us as when we’re awake. But in our modern know-it-all we just dismiss them as being “just” dreams. Ancient cultures believed that dreaming was a way of communicating with divinity. Certain forms of madness or hallucinogenic drugs can put you in a state of a waking dream. It certainly is interesting. All those gorgeous unconscious parts of ourselves. The hidden things we try to hide from ourselves. I’ve been writing them down for years.

So, I really dreamt most of the dreams in the book, including the one of the Black Dog and the elephants.
I had that one while I lived in Thailand. The reverie was so vivid and damned emotional that I just could not shake it out of my system and one day I just started writing a short story about it. That story ended up being published in Scarecrow magazine, a couple of years later when I finally returned to England.

But, I’m afraid the damned beast just wasn’t finished with me and so I continued to write and to add to it. The parts of the book that took place in Thailand were mostly written there and put aside as I always felt they were incomplete but I knew that there was some kind of connection to the Black Dog and it wasn’t until I finally came to France that it all came together and I finished the book here.

So, about three years of birth pangs.

What character do you most identify with?

Well, the book is partly autobiographical. Most of the characters are real people or conglomerates of them. A lot of those events actually happened, too. Not all, of course (It is a piece of fiction).
Which ones did?

I’ll leave the reader to decide.

So, I would have to say that Sam is a big part of me, but I’m not sure if I like him. He’s the flight in the “fight or flight” reaction. As a close friend once asked me, “What the fuck are you escaping from?”
I guess this book is my answer.

And the Black Dog, he’s definitely in me. We’ve had lots of chats over many bottles of wine!

Why did you decide to write the narrator the way you did?

I didn’t decide, it just seemed to fit. I don’t really decide much when I write. What comes out, comes out to a certain extent. But, I think it comes back to the nature of dreams. Sometimes we are ourselves, other times we can observe ourselves in them. I don’t want to say too much as I’d prefer people to make their own minds up.

"The old myths of British rectitude, imperial in origin, provided false comfort while the Blair gang built the foundation of the present “coalition”. This is led by a former PR man for an asset stripper and by a bagman who will inherit his knighthood and the tax-shielded fortune of his father, the 17th Baronet of Ballintaylor. David Cameron and George Osborne are essentially fossilised spivs who, in colonial times, would have been sent by their daddies to claim foreign terrain and plunder.

Today, they are claiming 21st-century Britain and imposing their vicious, antique ideology, albeit served as economic snake oil. Their designs have nothing to do with a “deficit crisis”. A deficit of 10 per cent is not remotely a crisis. When Britain was officially bankrupt at the end of the Second World War, the government built its greatest public institutions, such as the National Health Service and the arts edifices of London’s South Bank."

Following the PMM interview & an interview with Alex Jones, where Max just goes off - BOOM!, I found this on Max Keiser's site, concerning the proposed Coke boycott ...

"Hi Max,

Your Coca-Cola boycott strategy is brilliant. I listened to your most recent interview with Alex and thought that you really nailed it this time (after several previous attempts over the past year or more which I also heard). It was very disappointing that he brushed you off yet again.

I arrived at the same kind of strategy myself after many years of attempting to apply my knowledge of complex systems (I have a doctorate in this field) to society at large, not including the specific target of Coca-Cola. At first I didn’t understand your target choice, but later read your rationale and then viewed a video about how Coke does business in the third world. You also mentioned the connection
with Buffett/Munger. ..."

TV Buddhas to conquer US on extensive Fall tour in support of upcoming self-titled EP.

TV Buddhas (L-R Juval Haring, Mickey Triest, Uri Triest)

Tel Aviv via Berlin-based band influenced by Ramones and Richman. Listen to “Let Me Sleep.”

About TV Buddhas:

“TV Buddhas are a band that I liked the instant I heard them… This band is one lucky break away from breaking away.” - Ben Donnelly, Dusted Magazine

Originally based in Tel Aviv, but now located in Berlin, the three-piece rock band know as TV Buddhas will Americanize themselves over the course of a non-stop six-week tour of the US this Fall. The band will be supporting a new EP on the We Are Busy Bodies label. Dusted Magazine has already rung in with praise and now even more influential folks have the opportunity to hear the band via the “Let Me Sleep” (MP3) single.

TV Buddhas are the self proclaimed kings of geek bubblegum, the kids who prefer to stay at home and watch “Lord of The Rings” than go out and get drunk. The band consists of brother and sister Uri and Mickey Triest, and Mickey’s husband Juval Haring. Their music is heavily influenced by The Ramones, The Replacements and Richard Hell, while their lyrics lean more towards the outsider approach of Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers, directing their own anti-social heat against current day hipsters, Polaroid-glory and loud outgoing fun girls.

Their new self titled EP was recorded in one hour using one microphone and a field tape machine. TV Buddhas has completed over 400 shows in the past three years, mainly in Europe, and will be touring the US for the first time in the fall of 2010. See below for a complete itinerary of US tour dates.
