My upcoming novel, The Reeds, (ECW Press) is now available for preorder. Please do so! The book itself will be published Oct 15. I'm quite proud of it, or as proud as a writer can be with a book, which isn't something to measure if we're being honest. But there you go. The novel is available everywhere.

A story inspired by a friend's tale of how her father stopped a neighbour's noisy shindig. Featuring stoned teens, Slayer, cat photos, beer pong, and lots of drinking.

Tabulit is a new venture, a website that sells short stories and gives the majority of what it earns to the author. I've posted a short story there called Wild Horses. It's my attempt at noir. And it involves a shoe salesman, horse poop and a lot of punches. This is part one. Part two will be posted next week. Just go to http://www.tabulit.com/

I also wrote a new blog post at my website. Because it had been a while. I talk about what I've been up to, Tabulit, and the sudden death of Garry Shandling. http://arjunbasu.com/archives/hi-reme...

So I wrote about where to find it. And added a gif of Cary Grant.

I wrote about Al Pacino. Gilgamesh. Tacos. Art. Cave drawings. And immortality. All because I received a box of the paperback edition of Waiting for the Man (August) and a pdf of the cover of the French edition (October). Here you go: http://arjunbasu.com/archives/just-wh...

Basically, this is what I've been up to:

What's the difference between monsters and writers? Haha, trick question, there is no difference.

I'm writing. Well, I'm always doing that (I say to myself) but here's some proof. Latest post up on the blog.
