Digital ANGEL DUST On The Cheap
Mentioning this since ADA was a (loved and loathed) Book Club selection here back around 2006, and The Cult was a big part of the book taking off like it did.
ANGEL DUST APOCALYPSE is now available as light radiation from your Kindle screen!
This hi-def transfer of the cult classic has been fully revised and updated and features 20,000 words of new digital-only content including:
-A Note About This Author’s Preferred Edition by Me
-An Amazing Introduction by Stephen Graham Jones
-And new section "The Fallout: Bonus Material of Suspect Value" which contains early, entirely out-of-control interviews with CEMETERY DANCE magazine and THE MEAT SOCKET, as well as "JUST THE WORST THING EVER: A TERRIBLE STORY YOU SHOULDN’T READ (WITH WRITER’S COMMENTARY)" and "A REAL BATCH OF NETWORK PITCHES FOR SHOWS WHICH YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT BE SEEING ANYTIME SOON."
I'm pretty excited for people to check this out. It's priced crazy cheap ($2.99) for the holidays and to say thanks for all the support and love the book has received in the past.
Well, apologies for the disappointment, Ritt. Although phenylcyclidine is not usually that pricey anyway, and it's pretty erratic re: interaction. There are a lot of better engineered drugs. Perhaps it's for the best that this isn't the transaction you sought.
Thanks, by the way, for teaching me the term "fishpockets."
Now nobody has a good excuse for not reading this!
Get on it people. Seriously!
Alright, alright!
Okay..
Kindle Price: $5.74 includes VAT* & free international wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet
Motherfucking Romania. But I got it nonetheless.
Pete--Thanks!
Irina--Sorry to hear those corporate bastards doubled the price in Romania for what is still a very small file transfer. But I hope you enjoy the read.
Now it needs to come to nook so I can buy an electronic version, Jeremy.
Excited to dive into this, thanks for the heads up Jeremy!
Holy shit, Gottschalln posted!
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
I honestly thought this was a spam thread selling Angel Dust. I have no idea what that even is. I've been avoiding this thread, but then I saw there were 10 posts and I thought there must be some funny stuff going on in here.
haha I thought exactly this just now.
Hi Gottschallen. 
Like a Sasquatch encounter...be back in three years.
(he spoke to me guys)
(what do I say?)
Hi! You are very mysterious. 
What is your name and what sort of sammwhich would you prefer?
I'm Amber.
Hi Amber, my name is Nick, and I prefer turkey on whole wheat. (Nervously skitters like a deer)
Yum! Turkey on whole wheat sounds great.
Nice to meet you Nick.
Wait. Are there sprouts? This is important.

You guys!
Angel Dust Apocalypse is probably one of my favorite short story collections. It's great. Chuck even blurbed it.
Yeah, Pete, that's why I bought it. Your recommendations never failed.
Thanks Irina!
Pete--Check your FB messages. I sent you something which might aid you in your Nook-based down time.
Gottschalln--Sounds like this was an elusive and rare appearance. Thanks for dropping in and checking out the ADA Kindle edition. Hope you enjoy the read during your next three years of sandwich-gorged hibernation.
And yeah, I guess since this isn't actually a pharmaceutical spambot post, I should provide context: This is my website, and these are a bunch of books I'm associated with, and I've been lurking The Cult since 2005 and occasionally popping in. We had a Book Club discussion (partially due to Chuck's kind words about my writing) for ANGEL DUST APOCALYPSE which was really fun, and I think it's still in the archives, though the formatting has gone wonky.
My favorite sandwich, though no one has asked, is the pulled pork sammy at Podnah's Pit in Portland, Oregon. With crazy hot sauce. And corn bread. And an IPA.
My favorite Chuck book is still CHOKE, though I have a soft spot for INVISIBLE MONSTERS.
My pug is snoring. His life is very easy.
Choke and Invisible Monsters are probably my favorite too. Though I really enjoy Survivor.
I've found that I prefer Brown Ales over IPAs. My favorite is a local beer produced by Short's Brewing called Bellaire Brown.
Yeah, SURVIVOR is up there too. And I think LULLABY is underrated, as far as his canon goes.
A brown ale can be great, especially on a cold winter evening. But with spicy food I think a very cold, hoppy IPA is magical.
Maybe I just don't know anything about beer pairing. I'll try an IPA next time I'm eating something spicy.
If the food you are eating is spicy enough even a strong IPA ends up tasting refreshingly sweet, in an odd way.
I agree IPA's pair well with spicy food stuffs.
Pretend I also said something awesome here about beer because yay beer.

Well that went without saying. I wouldn't expect anything less of you Tuff. 
yay beer!
Yay Beer!
My favorite new brewery is Ten Barrel out of Bend, OR. Their PRAY FOR SNOW seasonal is the best winter beer I've had in a long time. Stone is always great, too.
Portland has become snobby with beer the way I imagine the vineyards in California used to be. But you get access to a lot of interesting brews.
I have not tried the Rogue beer that they made using yeast from a brewer's beard. Because...No.
There are so many great beers out there now, I don't know how people can still drink Bud Light.

I am very lucky to live in Portland area for the reason of having access to so much great beer.
I like to think I am not a snob however. I prefer something that is magic on the palate, but am not against a regular old mainstream beer. After all, half the reason I love beer is the effect, not just the taste. I do get annoyed with myself if I notice I am buying too many beers made by AB. Just because I don't want to support that sort of adulatrey against the industry as a craft and art.
Dead Guy is my favorite, but I reserve it for very special occasions, just for rituals sake mostly. So my default this time of year is Jubelale.
>So my default this time of year is Jubelale.
Yeah, this year's batch of Jubel is Deschutes' best in a long time. I'd like to try the 8oz Super Jubel at the brewery, but I'm usually on the other side of the river.
I grew up over in Bend so I started with Budweiser, Mirror Pond, and Black Butte Porter. And the occasional Mickey's or Steel Reserve. But living in Portland, it's so easy to access new, great stuff all the time, and I developed an affinity for the hoppier varieties.
The BEER WARS documentary was pretty cool. Although it makes it harder to enjoy a cheap lager--the big three brewers look like monopolistic bastards in this thing.
I watched Beer Wars a while back and found it interesting. It did turn me off to the big beer makers quite a bit, I can't let myself be one of those bitter anti everything big business people though.
I'd rather be cheerful pro small(er) business. And not beat myself up too much the times I do throw away money on the bigger guys.
>I'd rather be cheerful pro small(er) business. And not beat myself up too much the times I do throw away money on the bigger guys.
That's pragmatic. I still prefer a Miller High Life when I play pool. Just a thing from my youth, but a Miller doesn't knock out your aim as fast as an IPA either.
I hijacked my own thread with beer. Well done, me.
Well done Jeremy, well done. I've been opting for Yuengling since it's come into this area of the country. In college everyone drank Natural Light, which was just horrible. The exotic "import" in the Cincinnati area is Leinenkugel, which has a pretty good winter ale called Fireside Nut Brown. Poor Cincinnati, we're getting the Walkmans next year.
God, I miss Straub and Yuengling.

Deschutes makes a really good white IPA. It's one of my favorites. I find myself lately drinking "flavored" IPAs like Belgian IPAs or the Deschutes one. I used to hate them too.
Big S--Chainbreaker's the Deschutes white IPA, right? I think I tried that this summer. Very subtle on the hops with almost more of a lager feel. Good summer beer.
Belgian's can be so sweet. I used to hate them too, but I went to a festival and found a couple which weren't on the over-sugary end. When a Belgian is great, it's dangerous.
I really don't like sweet beers and i hate it when saisons are sweet. It just ruins it for me, no matter how good it is otherwise.
Agreed. The extra sugar in the fermentation process can fuck up an otherwise solid Double IPA, too. Stone figured out how to fix that with their Ruination double--just jack up the hops until the thing goes over 100 IBU's.
I read the intro pages tonight and yup, I'm gonna start it tomorrow. Citing Massive Attack as an influence... this means it's gonna be awesome.
Fuck yeah Irina!
I'm up for a copy of Angel Dust Apocalypse, after I get a new pair of glasses. This is the third time I've checked out same books from the library.
You guys are so right, about IPA and spicy food. So yummy with Indian dishes.
Good local stuff, Big Boss Brewing in Raleigh, N.C.
My favorite is Angry Angel. Amazing!
Can't wait to try Aces and Ates.
My editor friend in Seattle is sending me an e-reader after Christmas
Yay, Festivus!!
newgirl--I've added Big Boss' Angry Angel to my watch list over at Belmont Station. They get most everything eventually.
And hope you got that e-reader after Christmas. I was on the pro-book, anti-digital thing until I got a Kindle Fire for my birthday, but now I'm pretty hooked and my TBR pile isn't threatening to kill me if it collapses...
(As a side note, my post-apocalyptic novella EXTINCTION JOURNALS is now on Kindle too. Revised, cheap, and good for some kicks if you're into the end of the world.)
Irina--I still listen to Massive Attack. Heligoland had some cool tracks, but my favorites will always be Blue Lines and Mezzanine.
Oh hey, guy, I mean to post that I bought and read your book week before last and I quite enjoyed the stories (Angel Dust Apocalypse. I think I'll get your Extinction Journals...like right now...because apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic/dystopian stuff is my favorite (next to classic/modern sci-fi).
Well there's also his book We Live Inside You - which is pretty awesome. His one story in Warmed and Bound is in that collection.
Aw, fishpockets. I thought you were actually selling angel dust for cheap.
