HOW TO EAT FRIED FURRIES Available For Pre-Order At Amazon

If you’re one of those readers who wants to be among the first to get a book in their hands, now might be a good time to pre-order HOW TO EAT FRIED FURRIES up at Amazon.com.

I really wasn’t expecting this one to be available for order at all until November 11th, but late last week I noticed that a few orders  have been placed.

What can I say?  Obviously the world is hungry for furries (or at the very least, furry-centric satire).

My guess is that copies will be in stock at Amazon fairly soon, before the book’s debut at BizarroCon.  For more information on this one, check out my HOW TO EAT FRIED FURRIES F.A.Q. Page

What People More Famous Than I Am Are Saying About Me & HOW TO EAT FRIED FURRIES…

“I don’t remember the last time I laughed so hard while simultaneously wincing.  Don’t say you weren’t warned.”
Five-time Bram Stoker Award-winner Gary A. Braunbeck, author of Far Dark Fields and A Cracked and Broken Path

“Nicole Cushing is one of my faves in the new wave of Bizarro authors.  There’s a focused intelligence and clarity at play throughout even the deepest patches of delirium — a genuine method to the unadulterated madness — that makes it so much more than merely weird.”

New York Times Bestselling Author John Skipp

“Nicole Cushing may be a new name on the scene, but she is a pro who possesses the sharp wit of Donihe, Strand and Skipp…There is no doubt that her name will be popping up quite a bit more in fine bizarro publications. Check this one out!”

Esteban Silvani, “Esteban’s House of Bizarro”, Dark Recesses Press

“Personally, I enjoyed every f***ed-up page of it.”

Jeff Strand, author of Benjamin’s Parasite and Pressure

How To Eat Fried Furries is spastically delicious, like Animaniacs with tertiary syphilis”

Garrett Cook; author of Archelon Ranch, Jimmy Plush:  Teddy Bear Detective and winner of the 1st Annual Ultimate Bizarro Showdown

Jeff Strand Reviews HOW TO EAT FRIED FURRIES

Jeff Strand, Author of BENJAMIN'S PARASITE & PRESSURE

It’s still a few months before the launch of my first book, How To Eat Fried Furries, on Amazon.com.  But it’s never too early to hear good news.  Jeff Strand has posted a positive review up on his blog (“Personally, I enjoyed every f***ed up page,” the Benjamin’s Parasite and Pressure author says).

Eraserhead Press To Publish HOW TO EAT FRIED FURRIES (And Other Cool Publishing News)

I’m pleased to announce that Eraserhead Press will be publishing my first book, How To Eat Fried Furries later this year as part of their New Bizarro Author Series. Fried Furries is a Monty Python-esque dark satire set in a world where farmers raise furries – yes, that’s right, people in animal costumes – as livestock.

The cast of characters is as motley and grotesque as one would imagine given such a premise. There’s the misshapen, proto-furry cast of the ’70s action-adventure show, Ferret Force Five. Chainsaw-wielding midgets. An invading armada of alien squirrels who cling to their second amendment right to keep and bear ray guns. Angels in biplanes. Louisville, Kentucky’s shady tea-houses where washed-up actors go to be flayed. The Amish and the even more despicable Pseudo-Amish. Reverse-Furries. Reverse-Reverse-Furries. And, in the end, a blood-stained panacea for the economic downturn that would make Thomas Malthus proud.

Whether an avid Bizarro fan or a newcomer to this cresting wave of weird fiction, you’re bound to be satisfied once you take a bite out of How To Eat Fried Furries. Keep your eyes on this blog for more news about this release as it becomes available.

What’s that you say? You can’t wait until later this year to get your Cushing-fix? Well, you’re in luck. I have two short fiction pieces I’ve recently placed.

My short story “Herman Sligo Is Flayed & Living In Louisville, Kentucky” appears in the hot-off-the-presses issue of the Journal of Experimental Fiction (issue 37). Editors Eckhard Gerdes (author of My Landlady The Lobotomist) and Jeff Burk (of Shatnerquake fame) put together a nice lineup for this issue that also includes Bizarro luminaries such as Gina Ranalli, Mykle Hansen, Kevin L. Donihe, and that wunderkind Cameron Pierce. The Journal is available for purchase on Amazon.com, – just click this link http://www.amazon.com/Bizarro-Fiction-Journal-Experimental-37/dp/1884097375/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=boo

Also, my short story “Youth to Be Proud Of” will appear in a forthcoming online issue of the absurdist zine Bust Down The Door & Eat All The Chickens. I’ll be posting a link to that one once it becomes available.

There’s also a huge short fiction sale that I’m not quite able to talk about yet, but I can’t wait to share the news with you once I can. I’m pretty psyched about it.

Okay, so that’s enough publishing news to sate y’all for awhile. In the meantime, I’m continuing to work on my novella (which I’m about 1/3 of the way through right now). My plan is to then embark on a novel. These are exciting times. I am just so grateful to be alive, writing, and starting to find my audience.
