HORRIFIC CONFECTION IS NOW AVAILABLE IN PRINT!
To consume your own sweet poison, please visit www.BloodPuddingPress.etsy.com.
Scroll down to read various reviews of 'HORRIFIC CONFECTION'. Do it or be pummeled by wormy cupcakes!
NEW! As of October 2009, only ten print copies of Horrific Confection are still available, so this is just a little heads up to potentially interested parties who may have been delaying their gratification for some strange sexual reason or putting off its acquisition until the time was right. The time is RIGHT NOW, dark dumplings!
HORRIFIC CONFECTION would make a macabre Halloween delight or a sordidly delectable Xmas gift, but soon it shall be too late.
Buy the book via the Blood Pudding Press etsy shop at http://www.bloodpuddingpress.etsy.com/ or by contacting J.C. directly or circuitously or via bloody telekinesis, in which case she may or may not hear you depending upon which doppelganger is occupying the noggin...
For extra added incentive, here's a new little mini review (again, scroll down to partake of some longer reviews):
"There's a deadly accuracy at work here as childhood fears are magnified and the world of consumption flows into mouths, past meteorite girls hoping for inscrutability & inedibility, into shimmering nematocysts. One can't help wanting to taste the seams of vintage wallpaper and/ or admire the author's vagina dentata variation. This is edible and fun yet also dark and grounded in a world of deadly objects someone breathed life into with extremely original intentions backed up by the laws of physics. It reminds me of the very best in violent German fairy tales mixed in with some H. Belloc and sent through a typewriter by a deformed Anne Sexton marionette on acid."
Matt Jasper, poet and author of 'Moth Moon'
WHAT IS THAT SICKLY SWEET CHOKING SOUND?
My first full-length poetry collection--HORRIFIC CONFECTION--is now available as a BlazeVOX ebook.
Dripping with a darkly delectable cover designed by artist Christen Baer.
Oozing with my hideously succulent choking hazards posing as consumables.
It is FREE to read and download (a small print run will be creeping onto the scene later for those who might desire to hold it or lick it or spit on it).
Dig in if you dare and feel free to let me know how it tastes.
XO. Juliet Cook

Want to know what it's about?
'HORRIFIC CONFECTION' is brimming with pinatas and confetti and sinister dessert products with more than their fair share of milk teeth stuck inside. Mutant sea creatures, suspicious slits, mercurial wrists, tainted candy, and heavy cream are also swirling quite vociferously therein. And don't forget about the shattering mercury thermometers and the creepy/yummy kitten that won't stop slinking into then out of the text then reappearing in a different formation. Perhaps that shapeshifting pussy is my doppelganger. Or perhaps it is stalking me quite relentlessly.
The hideously delectable flyer above is by artist Kristinopolis Mayhem, created for HORRIFIC CONFECTION.

viscous attack
Sarah Palin denounces BlazeVOX [books]
In an odd twist on the campaign trail, Gov. Sarah Palin made a viscous attack on America’s cultural landscape, specifically mentioning BlazeVOX [books] a Buffalo, NY based publisher, as “Anti-American and unpatriotic.”
Standing before a sea of red T-shirts and homemade signs reading “No Communists!” and “Palin’s Pitbulls,” Ms. Palin on Tuesday nestled in to her Republican base. Ms. Palin struck at some of the same themes, portraying BlazeVOX [books] as a liberal poetry outlet with a “left-wing agenda that’s packaged and prettied up to look good like mainstream poetry.”
Mentioning poets as Kent Johnson, Michael Kelleher, Anne Waldman, Ted Greenwald, and others; and identifying BlazeVOX [books] founder and publisher, Geoffrey Gatza, as the man Cheney should have shot in the face!
