"Ryan Ridge's verbal prestidigitation suggest a more rueful Mark
Leyner, and he can make you both laugh and wince, but he can also
kick up your pulse with a storytelling urgency that thrums under
the attractively fragmented surfaces. His hard-boiled punchlines
are rooted in geography and yearning and real American sadness."
--Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn and The Feral
Detective In New Bad News, the frenetic and far-out worlds of
fading celebrities, failed festival promoters, underemployed
adjuncts, and overly aware chatbots collide. A Terminator statue
comes to life at the Hollywood Wax Museum; a coyote laps up Colt
45, as a passerby looks on in existential quietude; a detective
disappears while investigating a missing midwestern cam girl. Set
in Kentucky, Hollywood, and the afterlife, these bright, bold
short-shorts and stories construct an uncannily familiar,
alternate-reality America.
