Jeremy C. Shipp, writer guy

these are my books
(sometimes they kill trees)

Coming Halloween 2009

Praise for Cursed:

"Most authors of experimental fiction take risks with voice and structure that don’t pay off. Jeremy Shipp takes a lot of risks in CURSED –and the all pay off. The book is weird, convoluted, edgy, funny, dangerous and an total blast to read. I give it two disjointed thumbs up!"
--Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of PATIENT ZERO, THEY BITE and PUNISHER: LAST GUN ON EARTH.

"Jeremy C. Shipp delivers the goods in CURSED. The book is a well-written, fast paced, intriguing, compelling, and excellent read, with a mysterious revelation that will surprise even the most astute reader. I recommend it without reservation."
--Gene O'Neill, author of SHADOW OF THE DARK ANGEL, TASTE OF TENDERLOIN, and DOC GOOD'S TRAVELING SHOW

"Jeremy C. Shipp is a writer that will leave you confused, breathless, and elated. His style is unlike anything I've come across before. It's fresh, crisp, cutting, bizarre, at times horrific, and thoroughly extraordinary. The man is just plain genius with the written word. Don't expect convention or even normalcy, just sit back and enjoy the ride!"
--- R. Thomas Riley, author of THE MONSTER WITHIN IDEA, HEAL THYSELF, and PHRENETIC.

Praise for Vacation:

"Shipp's clear, insistent voice pulls you down into the rabbit hole and doesn't let go."
--Jack Ketchum

"Vacation is an intriguing, challenging, literate, provocative novel I'm not sure I understand and suspect I'm not meant to; I recommend it to those who find reality boring; it may make them see it in new ways."
--Piers Anthony, author of the Xanth series

"If young Kurt Vonnegut had written Catcher in the Rye for the global village, it might have played a lot like this. Vacation is a tight little fable about massive, sprawling, real-life problems: chief among them, our ability to fiddle while Rome burns. The prose is extra-crispy, the wisdom is genuine, and the mindfucks come a mile a minute. Jeremy Shipp is a very good drug. I hope this book gets banned in high schools soon!"
--John Skipp

Praise for Sheep and Wolves:

"Shipp writes well-constructed puzzles where each word, each sentence, contributes to the final picture with economic precision and sharp bursts of humor. This is a memorable collection, wandering deftly through the gnomic shadowlands of dark fantasy, horror and bizarro."
—Andersen Prunty, author of JACK AND MR. GRIN

"Jeremy C. Shipp writes about horrible things in marvelous ways. SHEEP AND WOLVES is a compulsively readable collection (I read the sucker in three sittings) filled with resplendent moments of satire, gruesome contrivances, and some of the sharpest, funniest dialogue around. These stories had me cringing and laughing out loud simultaneously. Of course trying to box SHEEP AND WOLVES in as merely a gore and giggles affair would be doing the collection a serious disservice. Each of the stories contained within offer up odd instances of insight that elevate the work and paint a compelling view of our sometimes beautiful, sometimes insidious humanity. A weird, funny, brutal, transcendent read. Highly recommended."
—Michael Louis Calvillo, Bram Stoker Finalist author of I WILL RISE

"Stripped down to the bare bones of narrative consciousness, these stories manipulate the reader like a drunken Trix Rabbit buggering the corpse of Kurt Vonnegut."
—Cameron Pierce, author of SHARK HUNTING IN PARADISE GARDEN

"Any reader of the bizarro culture will find this collection a necessity, any reader of fiction will find Sheep and Wolves rewarding."
—Midwest Book Review

"A stark fever-dream of a book. Shipp's flashbang stories will turn your mind inside-out."
—Ronald Damien Malfi, author of Passenger

"Sheep and Wolves is a poster-child for the Bizarro genre: dream-like stories drenched in psychedelic imagery, and enough thematic layers and multiple meanings to keep scholars pontificating for years to come."
—Matthew Warner, author of Horror Isn't a 4-Letter Word and Eyes Everywhere

"Jeremy Shipp is an incredibly talented bizarro fiction author. His impressive stories are as intelligent, entertaining, and moving as they are strange. Read him now."
—Carlton Mellick III, author of The Egg Man
