Look what happens when we skip a week of posting new stuff! We come back stronger the next week. On top of that, Chicago hosted both the AWP writers conference and also Chicago Zine Fest, both events one weekend apart, so that means tons of people brought in their zines, comics and lit journals to consign while they were here. That’s 304 new items, and no, we’re not listing them ALL here. Just come in and check it out for yourself! What you say, you were here a couple weeks ago? Well guess what? It’s almost a brand new store since then.

I Remember by Shane Allison (Future Tense Books) $12.00 – “Shane Allison taps directly into memory, like a faucet pushed into a maple tree to procure the sweet syrup. Sexy things, embarrassing things, the ugly and the fraught, the things of the child and the things of the man, all pour out in profusion. His testimony–of bullying, racism, and casual homophobia, but also the best rimjob he ever had–has the power to dismantle centuries of chains, the crippling superego.” –Kevin Killian
