Art Richardson knows he can be a famous author.
All he needs is a little inspiration.
Learning of a secluded creative retreat, Art trades comfortable conformity and the distractions of modern society for a vast and mysterious farmland.
Here he and other aspiring (and rather eccentric) artists will leave their old lives behind and attempt to live together in a utopia of cows, campfires and absurdly delicious coffee.
But the idyllic surroundings may not be what they seem, and soon their artistic journey becomes a surreal nightmare that only gets stranger as the pages turn.
Luckily for Art, he still may just find the inspiration he's been looking for...
Art Farm is a dark comedy from Marc Dickerson about desperate dreamers, ritualistic slaughter, and energy poems. But mostly it's about how the point is not the point.
A very smart and funny book...Clever writing and laugh out loud, dry wit...It is fantastical biographical, I am sure, but first and foremost it is sharp comedy drama. Dickerson has created a wonderful cast and some great dialogue. - Matt McAvoy, author and Senior Editor, MJV LiteraryIn this self-aware critique of the plight of the modern writer and artist, we are treated to...one character's struggle with the dilemma of self-expression...Injected with intriguing B-movie style...With a nostalgic appreciation for the eccentrics and weirdos omnipresent in the 'art scene' subculture...
- L. S. Popovich, author of THE ARDEN
