Best box art ever? Also, SEX AND DEATH is in the house.

SEX AND DEATH is quite pre-order.

Quite geeked and appreciative we are.

So, we're talking The New York Stories, only to find out that the most excellent Sam Slaughter is "pumped" to read SEX AND DEATH, which we respond to by failing to not show how geeked we are to learn that.

The New York Stories is @slaughterwrites year-end list shout-out and most grateful indeed. https://t.co/FrOd2aBARZ

@slaughterwrites Thanks brother, and it strikes me, that this could go on forever. Which for the record, is fine with me.

@slaughterwrites Quite beautiful that is, and you are, Sam Slaughter. Thanks so much, and as always, I hope you dig it.

SEX AND DEATH is quite fine Seidlinger Bookporn - 2015 Edition.

For reals, the Bookporn, the Seidlinger, the fine, the SEX AND DEATH, all of it.

SEX AND DEATH is quite stellar blurb from the quite stellar Lauren Becker.

"In SEX AND DEATH, Ben Tanzer deftly illustrates the struggle between fidelity and desire in a uniquely sympathetic manner. His stories display an honest exploration of the governance of our sexual thoughts and deeds, as determined by natural urges and behaviors modeled to us in childhood."
--Lauren Becker, author of If I Would Leave Myself Behind

And more to come. 

SEX AND DEATH is quite kick-ass blurb from the quite kick-ass Tom Williams.

"With artful guilelessness and an ability to never look away from the world's miseries and ecstasies, Tanzer has done it again: populated his fictions with people and places and situations so vivid that the pages shimmer and pulse with vitality and purpose." --Tom Williams, author of Among The Wild Mulattos and Other Tales

And more to come.

SEX AND DEATH and feels about stuff.

@BenTanzer made me feel ways about stuff at City Lit Saturday night. pic.twitter.com/MIWeUcdKPK

That first time we read from SEX AND DEATH and decided that a white Oxford was so totally the correct sartorial flavor to go with.

Prick Of The Spindle so totally wants you to review SEX AND DEATH.

Or so they tell me anyway. Details here, yo.

SEX AND DEATH is Michael Seidlinger "Tuesday afternoon Book Porn," and quite fine company not only abounds, but quite possibly abuts as well.

Heavy Feather Review​ is quite hoping that you will review SEX AND DEATH - all of these fine titles really - our upcoming joint from SUNNYOUTSIDE PRESS.

Nice, right? Yes. Details here. Cool? Good. 

And so this is happening.

The New York Stories (and Sex and Death) are most definitely The Great 2015 Indie Press Cheat Sheet.

And most delighted we are about that.
