Ian and the Woodins
What does an eleven-year-old boy do when he learns of a subterranean world? If he is adventurous and imaginative, he sets out to find it of course; and that is just what Ian Lawrence does. After solving the Portal’s secret, he enters the strange, but wonderful world of Arboritia. An amusing meeting with a Woodin called Bunkin draws him into an adventure he never expected. He learns of the theft of a special wand tip from a wondrous wand belonging to the unusual Snake Wizard, Snuggly P. Wigglesworth, and the effect this act will have on the Arboritian forest. The boy designs and helps the troubled Woodin community construct a hot air balloon based on Ian’s class science project. The balloon takes Ian, Bunkin, and a Woodin huntsman, Senic, over Turquoise Lake to Shrouded Mountain. On the mountain’s forbidding, fog-covered plateau they encounter many dangerous obstacles among which are fogworms, mire pots, polymorphs, genyxs, and xordions. But their greatest challenge is the Gnobblin thief and rogue, Naggins, who gives the reader a humorous encounter with his own guardsmen; and the frightening creature called Abominus, who stands in the way to Turquoise Lake and home.

Negative Space
"Like smoke off a collision between Dennis Cooper's George Miles Cycle and Beyond The Black Rainbow, absorbing the energy of mind control, reincarnation, parallel universes, altered states, school shootings, obsession, suicidal ideation, and so much else, B.R. Yeager's multi-valent voicing of drugged up, occult youth reveals fresh tunnels into the gray space between the body and the spirit, the living and the dead, providing a well-aimed shot in the arm for the world of conceptual contemporary horror." -Blake Butler, author of Three Hundred Million "Ever wonder where teenage children go at night? Perhaps it's best not knowing the answer. There's something amiss in Kinsfield, a drab, boring city much like your own, except for the teenage suicide epidemic, stagnant, ineffectual parents, cultish behavior that borders on psychosis, and strings, strings everywhere. B.R. Yeager's Negative Space is a hypnotic collage of message boards, memes, and ruined bodies twisting at the end of a rope. Most modern novels have lost all concept of magic. B.R. Yeager's Negative Space is a stunning refutation of the quotidian." -James Nulick, author of Haunted Girlfriend & Valencia
