As we face a terrifying new year in the coming week Fat Candiru Press has three new releases in progress:
The Pros and Cons of Thrill Killing by Sean Lyman Frasier. Sean's tenth release with Fat Candiru Press is 100+ pages of pitch-black comedy and pitch-white grisly horror.
Expected Release date: March 2009
Tortured Farmland by Herman Eugene Abernathy. The release has been delayed after Mr. Abernathy's unfortunate passing, but this post-humous collection (fully illustrated by Sean Lyman Frasier) will please old and new fans of the cult poet alike.
Expected Release Date: April 2009
All the Old Knives: An Anthology of Revenge. The first anthology from Fat Candiru Press celebrates revenge fiction and poetry from a variety of young writers (including Shane Frasier, Jacob Thomas, Sean Ryan, and over a dozen others). All proceeds will be donated to The Homeless Children's Education Fund.
Expected Release date: June 2009
Fat Candiru Press, once again providing reasons to not dread the certain misery that awaits us in the new year. Or, more reasons to ignore that pesky pessimist in your head. Enjoy the holidays!

New Release: 'To Dream and Die in Ghost Towns'
Sean Lyman Frasier has just released another (short) collection of poetry with Fat Candiru Press. "To Dream and Die in Ghost Towns" is his ninth release with Fat Candiru Press.

Drifters stalked by unseen coyotes. A man who can’t outshine the accomplishments of his mustache. Ghosts trapped in a small town, doomed to feel their memories vanish one by one. ‘To Dream and Die in Ghost Towns’ is outlandish and familiar, brooding and playful. The poems within confront horrors of every variety: Phantoms and murderers, loneliness and moral erosion. Sean Lyman Frasier writes about humanity’s darkest impulses and those who ignore or indulge in them with equal measures of repulsion and amusement.
You can find the book and purchase it at the following address: http://www.lulu.com/content/2085477

A revolutionary release combining the talents of several emerging voices and Fat Candiru Press veterans, the mission is this: Each writer must tell a revenge story. The Editors will post a list of rules each writer must carefully follow. If the writers break these rules their pieces will be printed, ceremonially torched, and rejected by the Editors. The Editors will then eat the eyes of the writer loudly in front of them.

New Release: 'Lock the Doors, the Poets Feasts at Midnight' by Sean Lyman Frasier
Fat Candiru Press has just released Sean Lyman Frasier's latest collection of poetry: Lock the Doors, the Poet Feasts at Midnight. This grisly collection explores the horrors of modern existence with wicked and uncompromising humor. Sean Lyman Frasier creates a world where violence is just another form of entertainment, villainy equals normalcy, and even the grimmest topics are grounds for black comedy. This is his eighth collection published with Fat Candiru Press.

Lock the Doors, the Poet Feasts at Midnight can be purchased at the following address: http://www.lulu.com/content/1675372
Some critical response:
"The things forgotten or buried in the basement under a stack of yellowing family photos—this is the macabre Sean Frasier is so unafraid to hack into. This is gothic horror...dark, haunted. Sean sees the everyday ghosts strolling with the everyday poets." - Laura Vladimirova, The West Memphis Witch Hunt
"A sly foray into blood-drenched horror poetry. Sean's writing feels like a bit of raillery between his impulse to write comedy and horror. The terror and humor are not at war here, but they taunt the other and dare it to stray further from convention. And they always rise to the challenge." - Duane Honeydew, author of Methinks Myself a Crudly One
