In an effort to better represent a brick and mortar book-buying experience, ERP has uploaded numerous "look inside" features that enable you to look inside an ERP book to help you decide whether or not it is the right book for you.  At present you can look inside An Age of Monsters by William Taylor Jr., Frostbitten by Mark Walton, Can't Stop Now! by John Yamrus, Blood and Greasepaint by Karl Koweski, Laughing At Funerals by David McLean, and Crudely Mistaken For Life by Wolfgang Carstens.  These "look inside" features are available inside the ERP bookstore here, or available for viewing at Scribd here.  More ERP titles will be added shortly.

I hope you enjoy this new feature - and more importantly, that it inspires you to shop Epic Rites Press.

A short interview with Wolfgang Carstens here.  This is part of the Mad Rush Magazine's "Four Questions" series.  The interview features the poem "Leave The Car Running While I Shave," from Carstens' book, Crudely Mistaken For Life. 

New work by Carstens appears in Mad Rush #1.  A full list of contributors here.  The issue can be purchased for $7 here.

Many thanks to Lee Narynski for this personal, explosive reaction to my book, here.  These are the kind of fireworks reactions every author shoots for!  A poem from the review is reprinted below.  Cheers Lee!
