YOU’RE A GRAND OLD FLAG, YOU’RE A HIGH FLYING FLAG…
JULY 4TH — BLACK SCAT BOOKS IS CELEBRATING FOUR YEARS OF PUBLISHING SUBLIME ART AND LITERATURE.
Let nonsense reign!
Others may hoist the stars and stripes, but around here we raise the Black Scat flag in a pagan celebration of indie publishing. Fireworks are set to blow and light up the night. Today calls for sheer mischief and revelry—an orgy of DADA & Pataphysical calisthenics.
YES, VIRGINIA, THERE ARE ANGELS IN THIS WORLD
We’d like to thank Alain Arias-Misson, Peter Gambaccini, Barbara LaPlaca-Hardy, and Carla M. Wilson for their generous support and devotion over the years—without their help Black Scat Books would never have made it to this ripe old age.
A word of special thanks to writer/photographer Doug Rice who, when he learned we were faced with suspending publication due to an exorbitant price hike for ISBNs, stepped up and offered funding to keep the good ship afloat. We are eternally grateful .
And thanks to the readers who buy our books and keep the blood in our veins flowing.
HERE’S TO FOUR MORE YEARS—-Cheers!
We’ve Got the Fireworks

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.
