Steven Reynolds commented on the blog post Self-Published Design Review: The Fiddler’s Gun by A.S. Peterson
I’m already struggling against my desire to buy this book, and I don’t even know what it’s about!

Steven Reynolds commented on the blog post Self-Publishing is Humanity’s Progress (and also the Apocalypse)
Just read that article at NYRB. I think Epstein makes some great points.

Steven Reynolds wrote a new blog post: Finding the Moon in Sugar by Gint Aras
I swear right now that everything your gonna read in here happened 100% true. Cauze when I used to look back at all this crap that went down with me, sometimes I wouldn’t even believe it myself. I used to trip a lot on shrooms and acid, plus get [...]

Honey McGuinness has seen it all, and willingly indulged in most of it. The child of a crazed mother who died apparently trying to kill them both, Honey once followed a path of willful self-annihilation.
I’d ingested, digested, shoved up my ass, and shot into my bloodstream every [...]
