Pants All Night
The stork has delivered a brand-spanking-new deluxe edition of deliciously odd stories from Portland's brilliant writer and performer Frayn Masters.
Pants All Night is both surprising and compulsively readable. Her
narrations shift easily from the realistic to the fantastical—a fetus is
traded from womb to womb via cooler, a surly Guatemalan bullies her family
and a dish sponge hooks a wife. Bite through a vision that is
twisted, sublime and heart-warming all at the same time.

The Mitford Diaries
Enjoy the dark comedy of the The Mitford Diaries, fictional diaries from the most infamous family of the British aristrocracy. Jessica is a tough teenaged Communist. She dreams of
running away to fight Fascists like her sisters Unity and Diana who hang
around Berlin cafes trying to meet Hitler.
This tiny treasure came in two sumptuous editions, one with blue paper and one with gold.
Number One Fan
Number One Fan delves
into obsessions both popular and obscure. Margaret Sullivan examines rabid Jane Austen readers while Brian Joseph Davis discovers the zen mastery of Don Knotts. Read excerpts and the table of contents here. Only 110 copies were made and no two are alike.
When Riff Randell told the Ramones that she was their ‘number one fan,’ it was her love of the punk band that defined her. She was a smart and confident teen inspired by the Ramones to create her own portfolio of pop songs. In Number One Fan, writers share their thoughts and experiences about being fans in a world obsessed with pop culture. They explore how our love for music, movies, sports, TV and books can give us stronger identities than any job of skill and how fans are inspired to take culture into their own hands by creating communities and new art.
Saugus to the Sea
Saugus to the Sea
is a brilliant novel by author, musician and filmmaker Bill
Brown. It's available as a very nifty-looking trade paperback.
Bill's
novel chronicles life in underground L.A. Amid the glitz of Tinseltown
is a hidden world of critical mass bike rides, straight-edge punk
gigs, guerrilla gardening, time traveling monkeys and desert towns
where the Blessed Virgin Mary still puts in an appearance.
Saugus to the Sea features illustrations by Stay As You Are
creator, Brad Yung.
