 The Distance Travelled: A Little Slice of Heaven |
The Distance Travelled: A Little Slice of HeavenAuthor: Savory, Brett Alexander and Zajac, Gord |
|||

Why are there no shoes in the afterlife? What’s the deal with mystical cats always trying to save the world? What’s a growl-quack sound like? What does Jesus really look like? How did Pigboy survive his bath in the flame pit? What’s all this crap about Hell having a basement? Did any of you even read the first novel? Why are there so many rabbits in heaven? Was it some sort of invasion? Did they stage a coup? And who the hell is this Gord Zajac chimp, anyway? The answers to these and many other incredibly unimportant questions are answered within the pages of this hilarious yet poignant novella — the official sequel to Brett Alexander Savory’s 2006 runaway smash hit bestseller The Distance Travelled, which was also hilarious yet poignant. But longer. And released by a different publisher. And by “runaway smash hit bestseller,” we mean “not even selling out of its limited edition 400-copy print run.” |

In and DownAuthor: Savory, Brett Alexander |

Carnival barkers herald the arrival of Brett Alexander Savory’s first full-length novel In and Down. The annual visit to the fairground brings a sense of excitement and fear in Michael and Stephen, two brothers being raised by their father. Their mother has left the family home years before, and her absence coupled with their father’s neglectful abuse have created distorted perceptions in their sons’ minds — of the world, of women, and of themselves. In the world of one child, the carnival becomes a powerful backdrop for his internal struggle to find maternal comfort, reprieve from guilt and a sense of self before his tether to reality is lost forever. |

Why have certain denizens of Hell taken to throwing farm animals through innocent folks’ kitchen windows? How long does it take a dead, desiccated gas attendant to walk out to his pumps? What sort of relationship do the Lord of the Underworld and Hell’s Head Torturer have besides the obvious professional one? What kind of air conditioning units do they use down there? Do they listen to Cyndi Lauper? What is Hell’s official currency, and by what criteria did The Big Red Fella choose it? Can pigs eat cereal with a spoon? What nameless beast dwells in the flame pit near the hole to Upside? What is Upside, for that matter, and why should you care anyway? Within the pages of this book, you will find the answers to these pressing questions, as well as answers to other, significantly less pressing, questions. . . Welcome to Hell! |

On May 5, 1993, in West Memphis, Arkansas, three 8-year-old boys were brutally murdered. They were found bound ankle-to-wrist with their own shoelaces, severely beaten and dumped in a nearby stream. Several weeks passed and police were stumped-not even a suspect in the case. The public clamored for an arrest. A month later, detectives finally made three arrests: Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. — teenagers who just didn’t fit in: they wore black, listened to heavy metal music and read horror novels. Spurred on by a local “expert,” police decided the murders were part of a satanic ritual, despite the lack of evidence of such at the crime scene. But this mattered little: they had three young misfits — one of whom, Misskelley, had confessed to the murders after a grueling eight hours of police questioning. He recanted it hours later, but by then it was too late. Surely a jury could not convict these three boys without proof, without a shred of physical evidence. Not in America. But they were convicted. Circumstantial evidence and a clearly coerced confession was enough to send Jessie Misskelley, Jr. and Jason Baldwin to prison for life, while Damien Echols, considered the “ring leader,” was sentenced to death. He is currently on death row, awaiting lethal injection. While many artists, actors and musicians have come forward to fight this injustice, this book is the first collection of writings in support of the West Memphis 3. Collected here are case-related fiction and essays by some of the best dark fiction writers working today, as well as eight pages of black-and-white illustrations by horror-master Clive Barker, a piece by comedian Margaret Cho, and an introduction by filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky creators of the acclaimed West Memphis 3 documentaries Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2: Revelations. This project is a fundraiser for the West Memphis 3 Defense Fund. Contributors have donated their stories, and all proceeds will go toward legal efforts to ensure that this miscarriage of justice is resolved. |
