“Nineteen Ninety-Nine”
“A sex and drug fueled joy ride with surprising poetic descriptions that recall Joyce Carol Oates’s “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” ... Delivers on Anxiety Press’s subversive brand.”
-Francesca Lia Block, author of Echo
In the early days of the post-Columbine summer of 1999, Martin Ogilvie, a sensitive but troubled sixteen-year-old with a penchant for heavy metal music and horror movies, and Leah Sakellarion, his more affluent, Adderall-popping, sexually promiscuous best friend, find their lives upended when Martin develops an obsession with a beautiful, slightly older woman named Clarissa Tibbits who has just moved into the house where his father committed suicide. Leah, who harbors her own romantic feelings for Martin, insists Clarissa is out of his league—that he should instead pursue someone with whom he has more in common – like her, for instance. But Martin ignores Leah’s misgivings and embarks on a relentless quest to make Clarissa fall in love with him, no matter how deadly the consequences. A lurid and disturbing portrait of pre-millennium adolescence that is not for the squeamish or faint of heart, just keep repeating:
it’s only a novel…
it’s only a novel…
it’s only a novel…

“Help me I am in Hell”
“Help Me I am In Hell is a fucking revolution; it’s a goddamn call to literary arms, it demands a spiritual insurrection, not of the government or even Big Publishing, but our own literary renaissance.” – Michael Mohr, author of The Crew
While in the throes of a devastating mental collapse, a self-destructive hypochondriac weaves his way through the dark underbelly of Los Angeles in search of his next fix, be it booze, drugs, sex or just companionship, anything to assuage the constant barrage of fear and anxiety that assaults him at every turn. At once ripe for catharsis and salvation, he imposes himself upon the lives of three women whom he hopes can rescue him—an emergency room priestess with a penchant for speed, a Satanic prostitute who claims to be the antichrist and a successful poet that seems to have everything he has ever wanted. But how much of himself must he hide to trick them into believing he is worthy of their love? What follows is a gut-wrenching exploration of a mind suffocating from addiction and mental illness amidst the ultimate terror of annihilation.
"...a perverse polycule of aesthetic virtues – shock value, envelope-pushing, norm-busting, taboo-shattering, bourgeois-épatering..." – David Polonoff, The Metropolitan Review
