Former Giant contributor and author we love Shane Jones will have his book The Failure Six published by Fugue State Press in January 2010, but those who pre-order now will receive the book and a “surprise” in October.

the surprise is similar to the surprise in those boxes of popcorn
could be a chapbook, could be edited pages not included in the book, could be signed copy
could be a picture of gene morgans mom

The Fugue State Press site also includes an excerpt from the book here.

      i agree.

      i really like the idea of various books by the same author looking good together on a shelf. sort of like wes anderson’s movies or something.

      Positive reviews of A Jello Horse get a check for $19.95, a Best Buy gift certificate, an afghan made by my sainted mother, and a 12 pack of Schlitz.*
