              What readers are saying about Epic Rites:

              "... Epic Rites Press is an ax whacking away at the hollow, slanted trees in the wilderness of impotent literature, which includes both small and large presses that exist today." - Rob Plath

              "I am thoroughly enjoying my subscription so far. There's fire and grit that I often look for, yet rarely find. Thank you." - ♥ erica

              “Epic Rites is what happens when you let a wild man stew in the mountains too long.  Small presses don’t get bigger than this.   A brilliant assortment of intelligence, insanity and a healthy serving of knuckles and blood." - Ben Smith

              "My first three issues of Tree Killer Ink arrived safely earlier this week. Excellent. I am personally quite happy with my issues." - Larry Jordan

              "The quality of the books are amazing both in the publication itself and the content that is put out." - Casey Quinn

              "Epic Rites is a blunt instrument... used to split open the head and heart... It is the blueprint for contemporary poetry and prose, for at least the next 20 yrs or so. It is a congregation... a sermon that makes yr eardrums burst, yr lips cracked, yr time a mere puzzle. Envision for a moment, a world with absolute honesty and open discussion. Imagine a world where everyone has lost their digits save for 2 middle fingers. This is what you find at Epic Rites Press... and if you can't see this... let me turn it up for you."  - Frankie Metro

              "These books are the future of the small press." - C. M.


              "...the 9 books i've just received from epic rites are the fucking business worth every dollar... not one tree wasted!" - Paul Harrison
