  <title>It Came from Below the Belt</title>
  <link>http://abusinginterest.livejournal.com/22628.html</link>
  <description>Hello, this is Bradley, the author of the long-defunkt (I spell it with a &quot;k&quot; because I&apos;m edgy!) web strip, Abusing My Interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My novel is out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can buy it through &lt;a href=&quot;http://afterbirthbooks.com/catalog.htm#below&quot;&gt;Afterbirth Books&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://store.yahoo.com/shocklines/itcafrbebebb.html&quot;&gt;Shocklines&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0976631040/sr=8-1/qid=1142567326/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-1141354-6514202?_encoding=UTF8&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;, or your favorite online bookstore. Or you can special order it from your local bookstore (ISBN: 0976631040).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.bradleysands.com/absurdistjournal/Came.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; Meet Grover Goldstein: Twenty-First Century rascal, trainee provocateur, boy next door who won&apos;t stop snickering at you from behind the lawn gnome. Swallowed by a giraffe and regurgitated oodles of years into the future, Grover must satisfy his urge to go home--even if it means going back to high school and helping his severed, and sentient, penis win the presidential election. Come along to Assumption High as Grover tries to answer the age-old question, &quot;What if I had forgotten then what I don&apos;t know now?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Bradley Sands&apos; debut novel is an absurdist dreamscape that subverts the physical laws of the world as we know it and exposes a brilliant new arena of bizarro existence. In It Came from Below the Belt, the body becomes a surreal, grotesque playground as enfant terrible Grover Goldstein tears through the libidinal fabric of time and space on an uncanny journey to the end of the night. This is speculative fiction at its best. Sands is a talented, fearsome, comic visionary who will usher you into the psychedelic matrix of futurity.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-- D. Harlan Wilson, author of STRANGER ON THE LOOSE and PSEUDO-CITY&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&quot;Reading the work of Bradley Sands caused me to vomit happiness and sunshine from my eyeballs. Highly recommended.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;-- Kevin L. Donihe, author of SHALL WE GATHER AT THE GARDEN? and editor of BARE BONE &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Published by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.afterbirthbooks.com&quot;&gt;Afterbirth Books&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</description>

  <title>New Issue of Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens (A Journal of Absurd and Surreal Fiction)</title>
  <link>http://abusinginterest.livejournal.com/22354.html</link>
  <description>Issue 3 of Bust is now available. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click on the cover for purchasing info.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absurdistjournal.com/current.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.absurdistjournal.com/img-pix/issue3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;BUST&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cover art by Chris Cox. Featuring work by Steve Aylett, D. Harlan Wilson, Alyssa Sturgill, polycarp kusch, John Edward Lawson, Kevin L. Donihe, Pugnacious Jones, A D Dawson, Gina Ranalli, MicroSmith, A.D. MacDonald, Vic Mudd, Simon Thurgood, Andrew Adams, and Swetha Raghunathan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m also now offering subscriptions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens&lt;/b&gt; is a popular vacation spot for stories who have never felt like they fit it, stories that want to take time off from their 9 to 5 work week of searching for the meaning in the universe, stories that take a moment out of their nightly television programming to see what has always been there but doesn’t show itself until someone changes the channel. They thought they were getting a discount on airfare, but they only paid for a one-way ticket. These stories are doomed to spend the rest of their lives between the covers of &lt;b&gt;The Journal of Absurd and Surreal Fiction&lt;/b&gt;.</description>
