Full-Metal Indigiqueer: the Pro(1,0)zoa
This poetry collections focuses on a hybridized Indigiqueer Trickster character named Zoa who brings together the organic (the protozoan) and the technologic (the binaric) in order to re-beautify and re-member queer Indigeneity. This Trickster is a Two-Spirit / Indigiqueer invention that resurges in the apocalypse to haunt, atrophy, and to reclaim. Following oral tradition (� la Iktomi, Nanaboozho, Wovoka), Zoa infects, invades, and becomes a virus to canonical and popular worksin order to re-centre Two-Spirit livelihoods. They dazzlingly and fiercely take on the likes of Edmund Spenser, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and John Milton while also not forgetting contemporary pop culture figure...
Fullmetal Alchemist
When an alchemical ritual goes awry causing Edward Elric to lose limbs and his brother to become trapped in a suit of armor, Edward begins a quest to recover the one thing that can restore them, the legendary Philosopher's Stone.
Gin and Tonic
Gin and Tonic is Volume Four in Joe Slade’s Live From the Mushroom Village series. This fan favorite shows some of the hidden nooks of the Village. Dan has to see parts of his world which he is unaccustomed to as he looks for an old man who has come up missing. This one is about golf, drink, and dead dogs. Every good society owns the young, needs the middle aged, and respects the old. This tale paints a more realistic spin on this assumption. Folks are crazy at every age. Life in other folk’s shoes is nutty. Dan battles the very people he is trying to protect to find out what happened to an old man named Tonic.
Worm In My Cheery Wine
Worm in my Cheery Wine is Volume Three of Joe Slade’s Live from the Mushroom Village series. In this one, The Mushroom Village is under attack by outside forces that want to steal its brand. Dan Miller our local detective has to balance personal interest and the love of his community. This mystery is about selling out. The Villagers have survived the hard way, now will they all of a sudden get greedy? This is the question put to each citizen as they are all part owners of the co-op. Dan and Phillip take a ride outside the Village to see where the money was coming from. It’s a hell of a horseback ride, the kind that makes you remember that we are only one false step from falling into the trap of greed. This tale is lighter than most of Slade’s mysteries, but in it he examines a person’s responsibility to the direction of one’s community. Sprinkled with tasty shots of Dan’s restaurant, hobo’s, and the Village’s doppelganger, this one is a solid trip.
Fade to Velda
Fade to Velda is Volume Two in Joe Slade’s Mushroom Village series. This tale dives into the Mushroom Village’s response to outside drug influences. Although the Village exists on hemp revenues, they hold a hard line against hard drugs. The death of a young rock star leads to high tension between Dan Miller, the only detective in the Village, and The Evil Magician, the co-op’s president. This story is about trust. Do you trust your neighbor with your life? Well, you have to if you live in the Village. Typical of a Slade mystery, the solving of Velda’s death is only a doorway into examining the Village’s shortcomings.

Picture in Paisley
Joe Slade’s first full-length novel, Picture in Paisley, centers on a devastated Michigan county and the people who reinvent themselves without government assistance. Our protagonist Alan Whitiker goes from disillusioned fry cook to functional soldier before finally returning home to find his wildest dreams have come true. Picture in Paisley asks the question, “What would you do if everything you predicted came true?” The only catch is someone else is sitting in your chair at the head of the table. Rarely in the story is the reader or Alan on solid ground. Mixed in the tale are visions of everything from a hemp-powered society to a war infused mystery. Picture was written for readers w...
Return to the Red Cedar
Return to the Red Cedar is Volume Five in Joe Slade’s Live From the Mushroom Village series. This one is about Alan, aka the Evil Magician, and Dan Miller’s trip to East Lansing to watch The Villagers play The Lansing Fuel Cells. The two baseball teams are fighting for the championship in what looks like a relaxing visit back to the real world. But things turn bloody when a player from the Villagers gets arrested for the murder of a young college student. Dan must investigate while Alan seems to be content reliving his glory days at MSU. Return to the Red Cedar includes the poem, “Something About Social State,” delivered by Alan in a student co-op’s kitchen. Slade gives us a good read as he examines celebrity, anonymity, and the helpless feeling of trouble away from home.
The Case of a Dead Neanderthal Man
This offering is Volume One in Joe Slade’s Mushroom Village series. Enjoy following Dan Miller on his first official murder mystery as The Mushroom Village’s only detective. Explored in this tale are questions of law in a lawless world with a backdrop of a village that is both open and set in its ways. The village, for those who don’t already know, is set in a Michigan county which was given up on after a mega tornado tore it apart and was subsequently bought by private citizens. This mystery gives us a glimpse into how folks who come to a sacred place feel, and how the folks who live there feel about the visitors. Of course, the Evil Magician makes his presence known, as he is the president of the co-op. This mystery is maybe mostly about getting to know the funkiness of the village in the summer time. As Dan’s family gets involved in the case the reader is shown a typical day in the life of village teenagers.
