10: 01
Lance Olsen
Chiasmus Press, 2005
This book rocks
Lance Olsen's 10:01 is amazing. First of all, it's totally innovative and different from anything else I've read (and I've read a lot of novels!) It paints a picture of Middle America that's totally unsentimental and contemporary. It's multicultural, multilingual and ...
Creamy Bullets
Kevin Sampsell

Voices From the Blue Hotel
Maya Sonenberg
Chiasmus, 2006
Each told by a different troubled narrator, the ten stories in Voices from the Blue Hotel hit emotion head on.

Carlos Hernandez
Chiasmus, 2007
"Each word he utters is mutilated..."
Abecedarium, the epic short experimental novel deftly executed, autopsied, and cremated by two talented post-modern dissectors of the English language (Schneiderman & Hernandez), will blow your mind, rewire your brain, and then short circuit the whole organ. Across ...
The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti
Stephen Graham Jones
Chiasmus, 2008
The Camopede Stalks
Coming along at around the same time as Ledfeather, Stephen Graham Jones 'The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti' is a great read. Written in a weekend, it reads as anything but. Video games and a father who can't quite kill himself make up Nolan Dugatti, who sits alone in ...
Parabola
Lily Hoang
Chiasmus, 2008
Beautiful Book!
I think the blurbs say it all: Rarely does an author as fresh as Lily Hoang do so many things with such sophistication: a daring writer, an aesthetic high-wire walker who makes big issues her baton, balances the weight of literary and personal history-and all while ...

Lou Rowan's My Last Days takes us deep inside the American myth of Superman and Clark Kent where no prior version of our naturalized heroic savior's ineradicable story has dared to go.
