Infestation! description:
|
|
|
Eight-Stone Press (ESP) has just released Infestation!, a sometimes unsavory collection of tales of Baltimore's unsung vermin. The second special issue of ESP's increasingly popular Smile Hon, You're In Baltimore! series, Infestation! explores the many faces of the (not-so)beloved Rattus norvegicus through rat-related poetry, fiction, non-fiction, photography and other artwork from a variety of area voices.

|
| BALTIMORE CITY PAPER: | "[S]urprisingly fascinating, consistently absurd, and often weird as hell ... Baltimore at its bizarre best."
|
| THE JOHNS HOPKINS NEWS-LETTER: | "In terms of local tales, SMILE HON is the literary equivalent of the Sizzler All-U-Can-Eat buffet. It's bountiful and bursting at the seams with delicious morsels ..."
|
| QUIMBY'S (Chicago): | | "Screw your neo pomo fiction autobio, true tales from Baltimore are strange and much more entertaining to read." |
| XEROGRAPHY DEBT: | "[w]ritten in such an engaging, snappy way ... highly recommended."
|
| THE JOHNS HOPKINS NEWS-LETTER: | | "In the stories, Baltimore's magic springs from everyday revelations, casual debauchery, and a peculiarly provincial brand of working-class sadness, wrapped up in both urban decay and local pride. Through it all, SMILE HON revels in Baltimore's every eccentricity." |
| MAYOR MARTIN O'MALLEY (Baltimore): | "Your books have caused a bit of a stir in my office ..."
|
| THE INNER SWINE: | "A zine about Baltimore's vermin? GENIUS! Buy 100."
|
| THE BALTIMORE EXAMINER: | | "If you had an encounter with a surly rat, an ornery ghost or just a plain eccentric Baltimorean, you might want to call William P. Tandy, 31 - publisher, editor and all-around point man for a local underground publication called SMILE, HON, YOU'RE IN BALTIMORE!" |
