One pill,
one bottle
one bullet.
Somebody's
gonna lose big, gonna lose it all.

In March 1995 an innocuous collection of poetry was released upon an unsuspecting market place. Since that time Poems for the Dead has gone on to serious critical acclaim in magazines like Wicked Mystic, Carpe Noctem, Dark's Art Parlour, Previews and has achieved a cult status as a book of verse unlike any other.It has been called relentless. It has been called heart wrenching.
It is all that and more.

   Haunting like an old scar, Poems for the Dead is absolutely merciless in execution and form, it is also illustrated by the likes of Los Angeles tattoo artist Bob Vessels, Kelley Jones and many more. With over 3,000 copies sold through the direct comic book market and another 1,000 copies sold through the Hot Topic chain of boutiques, Poems for the Dead has proven itself a consistent seller in untapped markets such as comic shops and in the cross-over mall market. Fisher is best known as the author of the much maligned comic book biography of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, and his satires Rush Limbaugh Must Die, Howard Stern vs. Rush Limbaugh,Doin' Time With OJ and OJ's Big Bust Out.   Labeled by Hero Illustrated as "the most dangerous man in comics," Fisher has been a long term comics creator and industry rabble rouser. A graduate of the University of Illinois, Fisher has worked as a bouncer, mosquito spray truck driver, lifeguard, gas station attendant, managing editor of Glenn Danzig's comic company Verotik and punching bag for several talk show ambushes including ABC's DayOne, Entertainment Tonight, Jerry Springer, Larry King Live, and Sally Jesse Raphael. Fisher's work has been scrutinized within the pages of Time Magazine, People Magazine, Tattoo Savage, and many others. Mr. Fisher is currently located in Los Angeles, California.


a collection of poetry by Hart D. Fisher

"...a heart wrenching collection of loss, confusion, anger, and alienation set down in the most direct and moving of prose."

-Carpe Noctem Magazine

"Whenever I pick the book up to read the poems, it feels heavy. I can feel the pain that lives in this book. It has true substance."

-Wicked Mystic Magazine

"...shocking rants that scream and spit, threaten and whimper... and break your heart."

-Dark's Art Parlour

"...it kicked my guts out..."

-Warren Ellis


 

"A dynamite debut from a young writer
certain to make his mark."

-Andrew Vachss, Shella

 


Thieves, hustlers, con men, beautiful junkies. Same old story, same old nothing.

Forget about Trainspotting, forget Ginsberg. In a gutsy new novel, author Steve Elliott drags you on a street level crawl through forgotten bars, juvie homes, wet dime bag love, short term Chicago squats and long term slow motion suicides. Tyrell, Scales, Sunny, Mary and Paul. Five best friends, five pretty losers going down into the hole.

 

 

Going down hard, going down mean.And when the ride was all over, every memory would be like just another old bruise.
With enough knock out punch to catch the eye of hard boiled crime author Andrew Vachss, Jones Inn is a burning documentary of lost souls, doomed lovers, and the kind of places most people never want to be left alone in. Jones Inn is a break out first novel by award winning author Steve Elliott. Raised in Chicago group homes, Stephen Elliott is a writer who imbues his work with the kind of gravel in the mouth authenticity one can only get from a lifetime of soul crushing experiences.

 

 

Despite being homeless for over a year and being locked up for a fair portion of his youth, Stephen Elliott completed a degree at the University of Illinois and a masters degree at Northwestern University.
In 1994 Elliott was the winner of the James L. Rainey Award for fiction with his short story entitled "Two Men". More than just another thug aritsan, Elliot is an award winning author of many short stories that have been published in The James White Review, Strong Coffee, Little America, Flowers on the Razorwire and The Sun.

a new collection of poetry
by Hart D. Fisher

 

"...filled with pieces that evoke pain, anger, rage, loss of control, and life on edge, Still Dead is more than Fisher's most recent work- It may also be his best."

-Diamond Distribution

 

An uncompromising look into the darkest side of a man's soul, Still Dead is an all new collection of poetry that resonates with loss, madness, and a hatred that's barely within an inch of control. In this all new follow up to Poems for the Dead, Hart D. Fisher brings the reader into his walking nightmares, his personal shadows, and plays on the reader's emotions and sensibilities like a piece of rusty wire on a twitching nerve ending.
