The play’s the thing….
We proudly raise the curtain on this new collection by Eckhard Gerdes—three plays in a variety of styles which challenge preconceptions and subvert complacency.
Who knew that novelist Eckhard Gerdes was also a playwright? Members of the audience who saw the absurdist play ’S a Bird first performed at the Chopin Theatre in Chicago in 1994 did, and they almost died laughing in the process. The children of King-Edison Elementary School in Macon, Georgia, did when they argued about who would get to play which character in Clockwise in their school production in 2000. And a few dozen close friends of Eckhard Gerdes did when they read the script of The Death of Anton Webern, a play that has until now never been published or performed. These three plays offered here are very different from one another, but all show that distinctive voice and personality for which the writing of Eckhard Gerdes has become known. Enjoy these glimpses into the mind of one of America’s most innovative novelists as he depicts the drama and absurdity of human relationships.
“A writer clearly impatient with the currently devalued conventions of modern writing. His work is a fresh wind!” —Michael Moorcock

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CABINET by Mark Axelrod
With the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States a foregone conclusion, he has already decided upon a cabinet. Since he doesn’t have the time to read or vet anyone because it would take up too much precious Twitter time, he has bypassed short-listing anyone and selected these people based on what he’s heard about them. So, these are the people he has decided would make up his really, really smart Cabinet.

Right ho! Let the games begin and the plot thicken!
We can’t think of a better way to kick off the summer than with the launch of this delightful comic novel by the great P. G. Wodehouse. Originally published in America in 1919, A Damsel in Distress is vintage Wodehouse—a whimsical romance filled with amusing twists and turns and a cast of memorable characters. The novel was adapted into a Hollywood musical starring Fred Astaire, Joan Fontaine, George Burns, and Gracie Allen.
This handsome Black Scat trade paperback edition features original illustrations by artist Allen Forrest.
We invite you to stretch out in the hammock with a chilled cocktail and this unforgettable farce.

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881 – 1975) was one of the most popular humorists of the twentieth century. The author of nearly 100 books, he is best known as the creator of the Bertie Wooster and Jeeves series and the novels and stories set at Blandings Castle. In the words of Evelyn Waugh, “Mr. Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.” Indeed, in the wondrous land of Wodehouse a faux pas often constitutes a crisis and the farce of human foibles rules the realm. The master’s intricately designed plots are peppered with potholes for his characters to stumble over, the street signs have all been mischievously switched and identities mistaken – yet all roads lead to a happy end.“This is sheer utter nonsense!”
Man does not live by utter nonsense alone, Man needs more utter nonsense! Now enjoy a sequel to our popular “Utter Nonsense” double issue published in 2014.

Rise and shine!
In SLEEPYTIME CEMETERY you’ll discover a world of ostensibly human specimens behaving in peculiar and unpredictable ways. However, they are often recognizable in a manner we dare not admit. Skinner’s dark humor is deceptively playful and childlike, and that makes our bursts of laughter all the more disturbing.
These wickedly funny tales are guaranteed to disconcert and astonish.
