I have a new one out through LegumeMan Books. Some of you may have read the first chapter in Warmed and Bound. Also, a few of you guys may have seen me read it at The Velvet reading during AWP in 2010. There's a recording of that here.

Artie Pendragon loves anarchy, pee wee soccer games, and midget wrestlers. He really hates high school, but his plan to blow up his school is interrupted when he is declared the king of TV Land. After taking the throne, Artie’s pro-wrestling, non-midget uncle steals it from him and enforces a strict policy of censorship throughout the land. To defend himself against his uncle’s piledrivers and take back what is rightfully his, Artie must go on a quest for the Holy Grail, which is the only thing that will make his Excalibur 3000 remote control work properly.

TV Snorted My Brain is a modern-day retelling of the King Arthur myth that happens inside your television set. Come along with Artie as he journeys through the various channels of TV Land and recruits knights along the way to help him overthrow his uncle and bring anarchy to the land.

“TV Snorted My Brain is (Sands’) best work to date. Call me crazy, but I think this generation has found its own Vonnegut.” - Verbicide

Get it here.

Want!

Bradley, you know I've really been looking forward to this one. I think I've bugged you about it a few times.

I just need to wait until I have my next amazon order ready to go through, because it's going in that for sure. Wish I wasn't so tight on money or I would rush it.

Kindle edition coming, or are you going to force me to carry a copy of this around and risk exposing my shameful secret?

Amber, if you haven't read any of Bradley's work, you should.

If you have Warmed and Bound, his story in there is great. It's also the first chapter of this book.

Or pick up my favorite - Rico Slade Will Fucking Kill You.

Mine was one of the orders that was canceled with the whole Warmed and Bound issue.

I never reordered it, as I was broke when it was sorted out, so I haven't read it.

Every time I think of that story/chapter, I think of Bradley's reading.

I bought myself a copy. This will be my first Sands book because I've been super lazy at reading his other books on the computer.
