Logan Ryan Smith writes dark, imaginative fiction with a unique sense of humor and madness. His work appeals to fans of authors such as J.G.

The Sun My Destiny, his previous book, is a psychological sci-fi drama that uses the dystopian landscape of a massive garbage dump as the background for familial relationships and grave, internal struggles.

“I step out of Bourbon Bandits onto the sidewalk of Geary Street and take my place among the zombies and psychopaths. How do I tell the difference? The psychopaths wear suits. The zombies have skin peeling off their faces and reek of rotting teeth and were likely the extras in a movie we were all in but forgot about.”

Logan It's on life support. I only do issues of small town when I'm up to it, and that's not too often. Most issues are out of print. But you can find them in the sidebar of my blog: theredgummibear.blogspot.com. Otherwise, it can't be found anywhere else.
