And now, published today for the first time in eBook, two more of Jaffe’s controversial works:

Jesus Coyote Building on the mayhem created by the controversial but critically acclaimed collection 15 Serial Killers Jaffe’s Jesus Coyote goes one step further. This docufictional novel based on the Manson murders proves that, just like his coyote totem, the myths around Manson hold irrevocable power. In one swooping panoramic arc, with the bloody killings at its center, Jaffe captures the perspectives of Manson, his devotees, the prosecutors, the victims and their mourners while firing a shot against the hypocrisy of institutionalized “morality.” http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Coyote-ebook/dp/B00CQOP896/

Revolutionary Brain In this timely collection of essays and “quasi-essays,” acclaimed novelist and critic Harold Jaffe explores the intricate vicissitudes of millennial culture. Gesturing, in a philosophical shorthand, toward a kind of pop Armageddon, Revolutionary Brain is at once thesis, allegory, and surreal comedy, demonstrating just how far we, and the natural world we have debased, have fallen. Obsessed with technology, we are incapable of reconstructing ourselves. By way of Jaffe’s elegant prose and perfect pitch, our collective disability is laid bare at the 11th hour. Revolutionary Brain is a powerful cry for a brave new aesthetics that turns towards, not away, from our tormented globe. http://www.amazon.com/Revolutionary-Brain-ebook/dp/B00CQTH006/

Me being a little too excited about signing books with this pen.

I would like to announce some exciting new features to my site, which will help make the experience far more interactive for everyone who visits! These include:

• Short films
• Full albums of original music
• Readings on video
• Podcasts
• Audio readings with sound effects
• No more advertisements!

I’d like to announce that, sure, and the required site upgrades are almost fully funded. So what can we do to hit full funding? Well, I’ve come to realize that with each of my many book signings a few copies are left over. That adds up to a lot of books over time. I have decided to sell these books directly to readers, with a personal autograph and original flash fiction or poem written into the pages–this unique writing will not be reprinted anywhere else. In my estimation just selling 20 books will allow for all the features listed above.

Now, you are probably thinking that all sounds nice but: will it really be so great? Yes. Original short films, free of charge here on my site. New original songs every week, all free of charge. The podcasts, the readings, it’s all going to be here for those of you who cannot attend my book signings and convention appearances. I’ll even sweeten the pot: if these goals are met I’ll add free eBooks to the site on a regular basis.

Last Burn in Hell
Kenrick Brimley, the state prison’s official gigolo, hangs over a lava pit on trial for his life in a strange land. He will reveal the course of his life one misguided step at a time for his captors. From his romance with serial arsonist Leena Manasseh to his lurid angst-affair with a lesbian music diva, from his ascendance as unlikely pop icon to otherworldly encounters, the one constant truth is that he’s got no clue what he’s doing. As unrelenting as it is original, Last Burn in Hell is John Edward Lawson at his most scorching intensity, serving up sexy satire and postmodern pulp with his trademark day-glow prose. The Director’s Cut includes: deleted scenes, alternate ending, re-mastering for more enjoyable viewing, and more!

Sick: An Anthology of Illness edited by John Edward Lawson
Here the pen is not merely mightier than the sword; it is a plague heralding the apocalypse for convention, writing a dirge for complacency. Sick is an anthology compiled by editor John Edward Lawson. Themes explored are physical, mental, and societal in nature. These “Sick” stories are horrendous, hilarious, and stupefying dissections of creative minds on the scalpel’s edge.

Tempting Disaster edited by John Edward Lawson
This anthology from the fringe examines our culture’s obsession with taboos and the added temptation that forbidden pleasures bring. Warnings of danger and peril only heighten our desire for those things we have been told are bad, wrong and have been warned against doing. Post-modernists and surrealists come together in these pages with renegade horror and sci-fiction authors to re-envision what is “acceptable.” By turns humorous and horrific then shocking and alluring, the authors dissect those very impulses we deny in our everyday lives. This literary experiment on human desire opens up many possibilities including the chance that the ultimate disaster might very well prove to be the most compelling temptation.

Reblogged from Pink Narcissus Press:

• 

"This is what desire feels like: black adrenaline slicked through a straw of molasses, corkscrews spinning into each inch of skin. It takes a lot and you still only get a little, but it’s because what you wanted was to want more. No one craves satisfaction, that’s far too scary to actually experience. Because when you get it, what’s left? Nothing was fun until it ran through the full road of excess; nothing was fun until it wasn’t fun anymore."
