In addition to the print version, we’re offering a digital edition of the first issue of Black Scat Review at the stocking-stuffer price of $3.50. This limited offer expires on January 2nd, 2013. Download an iPad, PDF or WebViewer version here.
Here’s a peek at what’s inside:
Les périls de la science
We’re giddy over our lineup of new titles for 2013. Among the offerings…
• Adventures in Pataphysics—an anonymous classic of “imaginary solutions,” profusely illustrated in a deluxe limited edition. You can reserve a copy now by sending an email to blackscat@outlook.com No payment necessary, simply indicate that you’d like us to set one aside for you. The book is guaranteed to sell out quickly.
• Also in the wings, Captain Cap (Volume One) by the great Alphonse Allais. Faithfully translated from the French by Doug Skinner, this is the first in an exclusive, multi-volume series. This is the only English translation—a literary landmark—and a must-have for fans of the master absurdist.
• To start 2013 off with a grand guffaw, we’re serving up A Cami Sampler on New Year’s Day. Consider this a spicy dessert by a slightly mad French chef: ten cockeyed microdramas by Pierre Henri Cami, including 9-pages of his rare drawings. Translated by Paris-based Cami-connoisseur John Crombie, this collection is a scrumptious treat by a writer Charlie Chaplin hailed as “the greatest humorist in the world.”
And that’s just the tip of the smorgasbord, as Black Scat is also publishing works by Pedro Carolino, Florence Bocherel, Farewell Debut, Alain Arias-Misson and others. Plus new issues of Black Scat Review.

Happy New Year, All!
Sure it’s shameless self-promotion, but remember… “everyone lives by selling something.”
Pass it on.
acrylics on x-ray by Monika Mori
When we first discovered the paintings of Austrian artist Monika Mori (known internationally as “Moo”) we were mesmerized by her abstract forms and bold colors. Her powerful imagery on x-rays using a palette knife opened a door to a world of fresh visions.
Black Scat is proud to announce the publication of Mori’s Shattered Rainbow—a highly personal series which includes both paintings on x-rays and works on stretched canvasses in mixed media. This is the first book publication of the artist’s work in the U.S. The unique Black Scat edition is limited to 150 copies. SOLD OUT
Scattered Rainbow is a stage where emotions collide, splinter and re-animate. It reflects the artist’s belief that art is a mediator of the unspeakable.
Black Scat Review awaits you like a shot of espresso. The new issue features steaming art by Florence Bocherel and Michael Leigh; eye-opening translations by John Crombie and Doug Skinner; plus jolts of piping hot fiction by Alphonse Allais, Pierre Henri Cami, Pedro Carolino, Crad Kilodney, Samantha Memi, Yuriy Tarnawsky, and Tom Whalen. And if that’s not enough to get you out of bed, check out the startling cover photo by S. N. Jacobson, and Elizabeth Archer’s revealing interview with Samantha Memi. Get your copy here.
We are very thankful for your support of our small press.
