Upcoming Release: PUNK CHAPBOOK SERIES 2016


A message from Wolfgang Carstens of Epic Rites Press:

That’s right, my friends, the punks are back!

Last year witnessed the birth of the punk chapbook series— featuring chapbooks by Bill Gainer, John Yamrus, Tony Moffeit, Rob Plath, Doug Draime, John Macker, Zarina Zabrisky, RD Armstrong, Mike Meraz, Lawrence Gladeview, Misti Rainwater-Lites and Matt Galletta. Every book featured art by the legendary Janne Karlsson. 

12 chapbooks, 1 package. 
No waiting around for new books to be delivered.

The idea exploded with the subtlety of a literary roadside bomb.

Well, I’m doing it again.

12 chapbooks.
180 pages of madness.
No bullshit.
No pretense.
No bells and fucking whistles.

$40 USD plus shipping.

This year’s line-up features:

DANCING ON THE CACTUS by Brenton Booth
PADDY WAGON by Wayne F. Burke
SEXY DEVILS by Todd Cirillo
CONSEQUENCES NO LONGER MATTER by J.J. Campbell
50 EURO by Karina Bush
I'LL BE SO STILL YOU WON'T EVEN NOTICE ME by Ally Malinenko
TEACHING MY COMPUTER IRONY by George Anderson
THE SONG OF WHAT'S BECOME OF US by William Taylor Jr.
SLOW JAMS & UNRULY HEARTS by Julie Valin
DEAD CITY JAZZ by James Duncan
THE MORE EXCITING SIDE OF DEATH by Victor Clevenger
GET WELL SOON by Matt Amott

Every chapbook will feature art by Janne Karlsson.

I will be launching these alphabet grenades into the world as soon as they are ready. I have listed October as a deadline but chances are they will arrive much sooner than that. If you enjoyed season one, you will love season two. I couldn’t have found a more hardcore bunch of motherfuckers to spill their guts across the blank page.

Everyone who puts in an advanced order will be put into a draw to win a fabulous ERP package that includes 15 Epic Rites Press titles and other goodies from the ERP war chest!

And hey, please “like,” “tweet” and “share” this with your friends and contact list. Put it in your blog, scream it from the rooftops, and spread the word however you can: the punks are back!

Here comes the boom, baby, boom!



Thank you,
Wolfgang Carstens
