So much to savor in this interview Rob Doyle recently did with The London Magazine. Can't wait to read Cameo. thelondonmagazine.org/interview-in... PS: Don't forget that Mr. Doyle will be putting his pen to use for and with the press in the latter part of this year.

I Do Know Some Things, published by Copper Canyon Press in 2025, is brimming with brilliantly executed paragraphs, sentences, lines. Excellent is what it is. And I strongly suggest you check out what Richard Siken has done here. www.coppercanyonpress.org/authors/rich...

Pulitzer Prize-winning, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning poet Rae Armantrout will be the author of Sacred Parasite's first book of 2027.

Howie Good's True Crime, available from Sacred Parasite in March.

William Minor's Clowns of the Absolute, available from Sacred Parasite in, give or take, a month. www.sacredparasite.com

@ianseedauthor.bsky.social's latest book, the copy I bought, has arrived. Why is Brainard there? You'll know after you buy and read Forgetfulness from Shearsman Books.

Read Jeff Young!

Salt Lake City 50 miles south of Salt Lake City in Scott Abbott's study. A welcome instance of Ask and ye shall (sometimes) receive. More photos of any SP book in your favorite wild, bitte!

@ianseedauthor.bsky.social's newest book, Forgetfulness, published by Shearsman, is officially out and he will be launching it tomorrow in London. To get you in the mood for it (and his waiting-for-you SP book), read this short interview published with Ian by the RLF. www.rlf.org.uk/posts/my-wri...

Taken by JWGoll (SP reader and forthcoming 2026 SP author) on Emerald Island, NC, Ian Seed's My Outsize Hank Williams Cowboy Hat and William Minor's Sketches and Exasperations of a Big Wooden Dummy. Love these pics. And I'd love to see more of them, more SP books out in whatever wild you love most.

Just re-stocked that top book, Trapped In Toronto, in Saint George's in Berlin. I have 3 copies of its first printing left. It's one of my favorites. www.sacredparasite.com/product/trap...

Vivisectionists. Antivivisectionists. The police. John King brilliantly weaves these three points of view in Peekaboo Bosh, a novella including the short story "Roadblock: 2AM" which should, if those in charge happen to be listening, be a contender for inclusion in the next edition of the BBSS.

Staying in Madrid, in Spain, Spain being where Lupo Sol, the artist responsible for all the art within Ian Seed's My Outsize Hank Williams Cowboy Hat, is from, here's said book at a festive Plaza Mayor, not far from the latest European bookstore, Desperate Literature, to stock Sacred Parasite books.

NEW BOOKSTORE: All 4 Sacred Parasite "S" Art Series books (by Howie Good, Ian Seed, John Dorsey, and Brian Evenson), both of William Minor's SP books of poetry, and Trapped In Toronto (by me) are now on sale at Desperate Literature in Madrid. desperateliterature.com

To all the Scrooge's out there, big and small, rich and poor. It's not too late. We can still interfere, for good, in human, and non-human, matters. Sacred Parasite wishes all who celebrate it, and all who don't, a festive and peaceful holiday. Till next year.

So good to see Sacred Parasite for sale inside ivallan's. They have those three pictured SP books and more SP books and you should definitely stop by and see what they're up to. ivallansbooks.com

Australian author, critic, and professor Cassandra Atherton has just had this to say about @ianseedauthor.bsky.social, Howie Good, and Sacred Parasite. cassandra-atherton.com

Last 3 days to get these 2 SP books by William Minor at their present discounted prices. These 2 poems are from Sketches: PAINTING There is no telling what makes a young man jump through a window these days. Sometimes even a small painting will do it. SELF-PORTRAIT I want to eat my supervisor.

Pequod Books (Berlin) came through yesterday with this paperback copy of 2026 Sacred Parasite Author @wildtwin.bsky.social's Ghost Town, so I took a picture of it on my favorite, on their, green couch.

Mike Ferguson on Ian Seed and Hank Williams and prose poetry and Sacred Parasite. Love it!

Rome. Otherwise Bookshop. Thrilled to have Sacred Parasite in this excellent bookshop that not only took, and is now stocking and selling, Salt Lake City but also introduced me to Dino Buzzati whose Catastrophe and Other Stories I highly recommend if you have not had the (disturbing) pleasure.

Excellent writing from Jeff Young. The myths and memories. Even the bio. Read till the end. Never stop reading.

This, pic five of nine, Salt Lake City with Keith Haring's "Tuttomondo" (1989) in Pisa, the halfway mark, is as good a time as any to say that half of the 300 print run of this book, the only 300 that will ever exist, are now spoken for. www.sacredparasite.com/product/bria...

Before getting back to Italy, I want to stick with @ianseedauthor.bsky.social and highlight this excellent interview he recently did for the Royal Literary Fund's COLLECTED podcast. Episode 493. Find it here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZDW.... And his latest book from SP here: www.sacredparasite.com

Just re-stocked these three, Howie Good + Marcel Herms, Ian Seed + Lupo Sol, Brian Evenson + Torsten Bohm, at St. George's Bookshop in Berlin. Italian bookstore news COMING SOON.

This review is an excellent way to begin the month and mark Sacred Parasite's return from Italy. Much to come. Come often. www.sacredparasite.com

Just in from Berlin: SALT LAKE CITY, a collection of 4 short pieces by @brianevenson.bsky.social! Only 300 copies available, from @sacredparasite.bsky.social. A lovely addition to my Brian Evenson shrine! Lavishly & creepily illustrated by Torsten Bohm ⭐️

½ way through Geoff Dyer's Out of Sheer Rage. But Beautiful on deck. In Rage the narrator's in Rome, where I'll soon be, so get those Sacred Parasite orders in before Friday the 17th. Orders are fine and most welcome after, they just won't be sent until November 1st. www.sacredparasite.com

In 2025 I have had the pleasure of working with four fantastic artists on Sacred Parasite's new "S" Art Series: Marcel Herms, Juliane Hundertmark, Lupo Sol, and Torsten Bohm, each of their contributions like a mini-catalogue that amplifies and deepens the writing. www.sacredparasite.com

Sacred Parasite's Art Series books (@brianevenson.bsky.social's is on the way) available in Books Books Books in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Just sent three more copies of William Minor's Flabby Preludes for a Dog south to Words' Worth, to Munich, leaving me with 7 copies of this 2nd printing, and as future printings/editions of FPFAD will not be black & white, you might want to get one before they're gone.

The first three "M" Series Sacred Parasite books, until Oktober 17th when SP goes to Italy to seek new literary partners, are ON SALE for 12 euros per book instead of the customary 16. All three for 30.

Rounding out the recent deliveries to Berlin's bookstores, here is Salt Lake City in @curiousfoxbooks.bsky.social, a great English-language bookstore in Kreuzberg (just a short walk from Görlitzer Bahnhof) that stocks EVERY Sacred Parasite book.

NEW BOOKSTORE ALERT (#2): So pleased and excited to have @brianevenson.bsky.social's Salt Lake City stocked in @otherlandberlin.bsky.social. Great place. Great location (Bergmannkiez). Great, laid-back and friendly people in charge (including one in the window). Check it out when you're in Berlin.
