KITTENS IN THE BOILER
by
Delphine LeCompte

 

Delphine has been a regular contributor to Cherry Bleed for a couple of years.  She once offered me a blowjob (via email) which I would've graciously taken her up on, but I don't know what she looks like and she wouldn't send me a photo of herself.

There's a lot of honesty in her stories because most of them are true.....even the hooker stories.  Delphine has the unique voice that can make heartache sound fun.  Her publisher calls her a "writer with scary talent".  I have no doubt she'll develop a cult following from this book.  The stuff you've read from her on Cherry Bleeds.....multiply that by 100 and you have Kittens in the Boiler.

Order directly from Thieves Jargon (for way faster shipping) or from Amazon.

 

But wait there's more:

BLEEDING FROM MY PSALMS
by
Debbie Kirk

This is Debbie's fourth book of poetry.  Blasphemous, violent and sexual, this is some of the best poetry I've read in years.  Bukowski and Kathy Acker had a love child who crawled out from the depths of Hell, and her name is Debbie Kirk.

Only 50 copies were made of this chapbook.  Order it before it's sold out.  The cover is so good I have it hanging in my office.  Here's a pic of the cover:

 

Here's Debbie's website.
