A "Demented Anthology"

Under Harmonium Books, we will offer a new edition of CLAMOR, the first novel by acclaimed poet Gerry LaFemina,
which will include a special CD featuring two not-so-fictional-after-all songs mentioned in the book that LeFemina wrote and recorded with his band. Available May 9

Masked worshipers of a bloodthirsty god besiege a city. A skeptical operative must connect a part-time faerie queen, a seedy carnival and a reclusive cult leader who may have unleashed unearthly evil. Will he find the key before he loses his soul?

GHOST HALFTONES, fronted very much with a guitar to scream behind by Harmonium author
Wayne Lockwood. Available late Spring

In a brilliant debut collection, step inside the mind of Tom Joyce, where unearthly evil lurks in your neighborood casual dining restaurant, a secretive sect uses a nefarious device to root out turncoats and a con man faces his demons compliments of his own seance room. An occasionally hilarious place. Always delightfully odd.

And, for those who came of age in the 90s without a guitar to scream behind,

a new edition of Wayne Lockwood's
ACID INDIGESTION EYES: COLLECTED ESSAYS AND MUSINGS ON GENERATION X. These acclaimed national newspaper columns cover plenty of musical ground, from Bird to Cobain. Available May 9

Aclaimed poet Insley Smullen emerges from the wilds to deliver a focused collection that plays with the line, if one even exists, between beast and man. DIRT GODS is a sustained prayer to the small things that might really be the greater of us all.

Hello, Harmonium

In May 2017, we'll be launching a new imprint, Harmonium, dedicated to music and arts writing in all forms, including fiction, nonfiction and, yes, actual recorded music.
