"Mike was a hawler, although he would have spelt it differently had he known the word at all. At this stage, it was unclear what a hawler was-or what a hawler did. But Mike knew he was one and probably knew what one was and what one did, even if he didn't know the name itself." Nemonymous Night is a tale of magic and dream. A rich collage of the British townscape and psyche. A spiral of details, mundane things imbued with significance and significant things that feel mundane. More outsider art than portrait. Missing children and angel wine - ocean liners and helicopters - and a drill vehicle bound for the core of the earth. DF Lewis's remarkable novel is brought back into print again, for the first time in hardcover.

This is the crooked, surreal and dark house that Stuart Hughes and D. F. Lewis built. This is a lonely collection of shadow-filled rooms and twisted passageways where no reality is certain, and where certainty shifts and distorts. This is a place of grotesque free sex, of demon armies and clinics in which exorcism is by surgery. This is where you will find quiet tumours and the mansion with two bedsits and where you will be meticulously prepared for madness. This is Busy Blood "Stuart Hughes has a natural ability, a determination and raw talent that is undeniable." Conrad Williams "In one short page, Lewis manages to unsettle in a way that a ream of small press magazines could never do in a lifetime of trying." Stygian Articles

Originally published in paperback with an extremely limited release, this book collects thirty of D F Lewis's favourite short stories, all demonstrating his unique style at the intersection of genre, literature and outsider art.

Dadaoism is the first anthology from Chomu Press. Editors Justin Isis and Quentin S. Crisp have selected twenty-six novellas, short stories and poems setting out an aesthetic manifesto of rich and stimulating prose style, explosively unhindered imagination and anarchic experimentation. From Reggie Oliver's 'Portrait of a Chair', in which consciousness is explored from the point of view of furniture, to John Cairns' 'Instance', a nano-second by nano-second account of a high-speed telepathic conversation, to Julie Sokolow's 'The Lobster Kaleidoscope' in which naive wordplay acts as a foundation for existentialist philosophy in a story of inter-species love; from those such as Michael Cisco, with growing followings, to unexpected new voices such as Katherine Khorey, Dadaoism sets out to present a mystery tour of the literary imagination and to demonstrate that outside of exhausted mainstream realism and uninspired genre tropes, contemporary English-language writing is thriving and creatively vital."

In a medieval cookbook in a special-collections library, near-future London, jaded food and drink authority Nick Kippax finds an alluring stain next to a recipe for the mythical crandolin. He tastes it, ravishing the page. Then he disappears...So begins an 'adwentour' that quantum-leapfrogs from Central Asia in the Middle Ages to Russia under Gorbachev, from the secrets of confectionery to the agonies of making a truly great moustache, from maidens in towers to tiffs between cosmic forces. Food, music, science, fruitloopery, superstition, railways, bladder-pipes and birth-marked Soviet statesmen; all are present in an extraordinary novel that is truly 'for the adwentoursomme'.

Salad Fingers meets the Wizard of Oz In a dark arctic wasteland, Mr. Watts, a gentleman with a lightbulb for a head, wakes up with little memory of his past. He links up with Prisma, a beautiful ex-prostitute, and Doc, an old man who can heal people with his hands. Mr. Watts helps Prisma overcome the Gutter Bitches; in exchange for his help, Doc and Prisma embark with him on a journey to replace his lightbulb head, and maybe provide a bit of generous light to the dark, apocalyptic world. With a bloodthirsty Telemarketer on his tail, existential angst, and the world's future perched on his shoulders, Mr. Watts has his work cut out for him. No one ever said a gentleman's duty would be easy... "In A Lightbulb's Lament, Wamack gives us a flickering and awkward hero in Mr. Watts-a man with a lightbulb for a head-as he stumbles his way through The Great Blackout in search of The Creator. Along the way he fights with Gutter Bitches, runs from Telemarketers, and struggles to keep himself and his friends alive. Wamack has a relentless, incandescent imagination that takes surprising turns." -Mel Bosworth, author of Freight "I've never read anything quite like Wamack's A Lightbulb's Lament. It has the right combination of weirdness, comedy, violence, and existentialism. A uniquely fun read." -Jordan Krall, author of False Magic Kingdom "Watching Wamack glow for a number of years now, and the Lightbulb book more than fulfills that promise. A disarmingly naïve treasure trove of ideas and words; mixing the freshness of truly brilliant SF, Horror visions with an aura of traditional European literary Absurdism." -D.F. Lewis author of Nemonymous Night "Lot's of good and strange and weird stuff happening in this book." -Mike Kleine, author of Mastodon Farm
