Sporting Bristol Noir Merch

This year I’ve posted links to some stories excellent litmag Bristol Noir published. Make that Bristol Noir: Curiously Dark Fiction, which is a badass title. They also publish badass stuff, though I don’t know if I’m narcissistic enough to put my stuff in that category. They’re one of my favorite magazines to read and I love that they’ve liked some of my stuff. I often try to support some of the m

“We wake up, breathe, live life often against our wishes and our better judgement. We console ourselves by telling ourselves this is no fault of our own but that doesn’t take away the reality of the pain, the streaming dreams, the utter shock of life, the shattered pieces of survival.”
Scott C. Holstad, Cells

“Fuck the sweats, I want the world. No rhyming for me, no structured bullshit, I want to spread out, feel the bullets whistle past.”
Scott C. Holstad

“i often wonder at what point my thoughts cease to be my reality and simply merge with my dreams to become my fiction, my life.”
Scott C. Holstad, Distant Visions, Again and Again

“But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”
Albert Camus

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
Charles Bukowski

“Hell is—other people!”
Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
Christopher Hitchens

“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.”
William S. Burroughs

Absolutely! The Buk has been my muse for decades. Among my most prized possessions are several books he autographed for me while he was still alive. I really miss him. I'm curious what your favorite Buk book is...? I'm partial to Play The Piano Drunk... as that was the first book of his I ever read. It made a huge impact on me.

I look forward to chatting about books with you too. Cheers!
