Endorsed by Jack Chapeau 2 an even greater extent

Here it is, the second, expanded edition of the Fictive Bible of the Future Underground. The 14 stories contained in Endorsed by Jack Chapeau 2 range from the short-shorts that won Pelton an NEA Fellowship in 1994 and made him renowned in Belgium (where he appears on a postage stamp) to newer stories which have appeared in some of our finest modern magazines, including Rain Taxi and Submodern Fiction.


"Pelton's stories take forms that take off"   Rain Taxi Review of Books

"This masterful kaleidoscopic hall of mirrors is a vivid tableau of our multiple other side."   Robert Creeley

"The effect generated by these pieces is nearly visceral - powerful and not easily forgotten… one of the most potent experiences I've had reading literature."   Cris Mazza

"Marvellous, pocket-sized, and funny as hell… almost a genre unto itself."   Slate (UK)
