The Laws of Average
In 60 flash fictions, The Laws of Average celebrates the insanity of falling in love, the absurdity of playing by the rules, and the stupidities of discontent that ensnare us all.
He Always Still Tastes Like Dynamite
Fiction. Flash Fiction. HE ALWAYS STILL TASTES LIKE DYNAMITE is a flash-fictional evisceration of toxic masculinity, a difficult yet tender exploration of the implicit and explicit violences men do to those they are afraid to love, those they pretend to hate, and those hearts, minds, and bodies they nervously call their own. In stories set amidst the sagebrush and clay of drive-through territories of the contemporary intermountain West, Trevor Dodge writes honestly and forcefully about characters trapped inside the cartoon performances intoned from having watched John Wayne movies, listened to Toby Keith albums, and suffered George W. Bush's America. Here language dances between the highly a...
A Dodge, a Twist, and a Tobacconist
Oh, you're a Steampunk fan. You just don't know it yet. The Alexander Legacy company includes a diverse collection of classic characters on the track of a ruthless enslaver of souls. Prowl the foggy London streets. Encounter a nightmare from an Indian jungle. Travel the Thames in Sluefoot Sue's giant Catfish. Soar on a stealth glider with a Bohemian prince. When Oliver Twist unwraps an Algerian mummy at Charley Bates' funeral, will he discover his true enemy?
The Global Vampire
The media vampire has roots throughout the world, far beyond the shores of the usual Dracula-inspired Anglo-American archetypes. Depending on text and context, the vampire is a figure of anxiety and comfort, humor and fear, desire and revulsion. These dichotomies gesture the enduring prevalence of the vampire in mass culture; it can no longer articulate a single feeling or response, bound by time and geography, but is many things to many people. With a global perspective, this collection of essays offers something new and different: a much needed counter-narrative of the vampire's evolution in popular culture. Divided by geography, this text emphasizes the vampiric as a globetrotting citizen du monde rather than an isolated monster.

Northwest Edge
Fiction. Poetry. Multimedia. NORTHWEST EDGE III: THE END OF REALITY, edited by Andy Mingo, Trevor Dodge and Lidia Yuknavitch, is the third anthology from Chiasmus Press, Portland, Oregon's independent publisher committed to interweaving the textual and the visual. These Chiasmus anthologies reflect the press' belief that certain forms of fiction and art represent civil society's challenging of the state--that shifts in media are simultaneously the indices and catalysts of social change. In addition to a host of short stories and poems, the book includes a compilation video and film DVD of Northwest filmmakers. Inside NORTHWEST EDGE III language breaks down and reorganizes itself, stories pulse plot open, and images get it on with words. Includes fiction by Rebecca Brown, Lance Olsen and Stacey Levine, as well as the film works of Karl Lind, Holly Andres, and many others.

The Hero's Trail
The great American Westerns can be profoundly meaningful when read metaphorically. More than mere shoot 'em up entertainment, they are an essential part of a vibrant, evolving national mythology. Like other versions of the archetypal Hero's Journey, these films are filled with insights about life, love, nature, society, ethics, beauty and what it means to be human, and are key to understanding American culture. Part film guide, part historical survey, this book explores the mythic and artistic elements in 52 great Westerns--some orthodox, some subversive--from the genre's first half-century. Each film is given detailed critical analysis, from the earliest silent movies to Golden Age classics like Red River (1948), High Noon (1952) and Shane (1953).
