Shooting pool with his own characters
How would you tell the story of getting beestung in the ballsack, and would it involve smearing yourself with peanut butter in your wife’s backyard? How about the one-man SCUBA mission, would yours have you sticking your schlong into a cluster of sponges and shooting rope all over a Mar-a-Loco reef? Would your weatherman go up in flames as he delivers the news, perfect til the end? These are a few of the fun, dubious choices made in PRICK from Leftover Books. From the author’s own bio: J. Archer Avary is former TV weatherman, champion lionfish hunter, and ferryboat captain.

Gay Boyscouts pushed too far will straight up behead you
Parker Wilson’s half YA, half City Slickers, delightfully well-built first book Painted Rocks is a dark coming-of-age (or not) story with a profoundly serious main character and language you like to read. Not showy, but YOU try to do it and you’d probably fail. Tread the pebbly beaches of Lake Superior with Lewis and his problematic pals and almost hear those mosquitoes buzz into your ears and nose, and feel the sweat slip into your eye, the stink of repellant and the camp smoke that follows the Scout wherever he fidgets. Out this summer from kith books.

WHAT IS WE IS SERIES?
We Is Series is the new Gorko Club of Books Series of serious book reviews. We plan to review a new indie book a month, or per year, or maybe once a decade.
NO BUT WHAT IS IT
It is series, we are not joking around. The concept is to review new indie books, and to just give you the most honest impression we have got of them.
WHO WRITES IT
Me, Raddy. But if you want to, if you think you have a real honest take on a new indie book, and write words in a row, send queries raddywise to thegorkogazette@gmail.com
