Cigarette Lemonade

Well, friends. It appears that my novella Cigarette Lemonade is out of print, in paperback form at least. But it was one of my most successful publishing experiences so far. Every review on NetGally and Amazon made me proud, and I was flabbergasted to have received such a beautiful endorsement from one of my longtime heroes, Joe R. Lansdale. Cigarette Lemonade

Hell, South Carolina

There is a Southern-American literary trope involving trained or pet monkeys, and sadly, it is as disgustingly racist as you would imagine. From Flannery O'Connor to Edgar Allen Poe, Traxx is no different. I would like to point o

Quotes by Connor de Bruler  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Pay closer attention to road. Try not to look at the woods on either side of you. Try not to stare into the endless vacuum. You know what happens if you stare into those chasms. They envelop you. They become you, and you become a part of them. You become a part of nothing.”
Connor de Bruler, Southern Gothic Shorts

“All fiction is to some degree contrived. If it is not contrived, then it actually happened, therefore making it a stolen idea. Ideas and concepts in this world, in our lives, and in our imagination are much more finite than any of us would care to believe.”
Connor de Bruler

“I think it's at least helpful to write in total darkness. That way, you can't see the shadows sneaking up behind you.”
Connor de Bruler, The Mountain Devils

“Some artist's greatest work is their own persona and I can only think of what a fleeting and impermanent canvas they've chosen.”
Connor de Bruler

“I wish I was smart enough to know the difference between relenting like a coward and having the courage to change your mind, which is only another way of saying, I suppose, that I want to know truth.”
Connor de Bruler

“I think it's at least helpful to write in total darkness. That way, you can't see the shadows sneaking up behind you.”
Connor de Bruler, The Mountain Devils

“You can understand social conservatism without flirting with its ideals. People want unity and comradery. People enjoy a sense of mutual celebration, shared identity, lineage, and tradition. These ideas aren't what the Nazis and MAGA-hat crowd created, they are only the sugar to make the sickness go down.”
Connor de Bruler

“I think maximalism's endgame, or the ultimate maximalist novel, would be a book that lasts 40,000 pages and has no context. It would be a triumph of fiction or memoir for no one but the author. It's like Colm Toibin said, "Writing is as much an exercise in addition as it is erasure.”
Colm Toibin
