From now until supplies become scarce, I will be including one of the pictured pre-SP* chapbooks with EVERY Sacred Parasite order. *pre-SP = pre-Sacred Parasite = one of 17 chapbooks I published with 10 different independent presses starting in 2018.

William Minor's and Howie Good's next Sacred Parasite books, the 1st two SP books of 2026, are coming SOON. The 1st two books from these two authors, writers I would put in the ring with any writing today, are available (only available) at sacredparasite.com and a number of hand-picked bookstores.

The first four titles from Sacred Parasite's "S" Art Series. All were made in 2025. All are locally printed in Berlin, hand-numbered, limited-edition. All are still available. Sales keep and will keep this press going. Please consider picking up a book or two at sacredparasite.com.

To complement last Monday's Rae Armantrout news, here's this Monday's news: Sacred Parasite, in early 2027, will be adding London's John King (author of 10 novels, 3 novellas; co-publisher of London Books; publisher of Verbal) to its list of authors.

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
