EXPOSED! shines a harsh light on the myriad horrors of modern society and reports back from the fearful frontlines with wicked wit and paranoid power. From the murky waters of New Orleans to the scarred psyches of our own image-obsessed existence, EXPOSED! is the last headline we get to read before reality comes tumbling down. -Jeremy Robert Johnson, author of Extinction Journals and Angel Dust Apocalypse With EXPOSED!, Mike Heffernan delivers a heady mélange of Swiftian satire blended with the outré oddness of Caro and Jeunet's cinematic outings. EXPOSED! imagines a world where even Z-grade celebrities are hunted down for crimes of narcissism, the elderly and insane are processed like psychedelic chattel, and labor conflicts are worse than ever. Must-read stuff for the post-apocalyptic set. -B.H. Fingerman, author of Recess Pieces and Bottomfeeder Among the 'writers to watch' in the realm of strange storytelling. Interrogates the hazy borderland between the human and the inhumane. A crafty form of social commentary. -Michael A. Arnzen, author of Play Dead and Grave Markings expose, v.t. (F. exposer): To deprive of concealment; to discover; to lay open to public inspection, or bring to public notice. Hope and promise are drowned in the black floodwaters of New Orleans and the churning concrete of expansion. The underclass is force-fed to the grinding machines of progress. Youth are slashed to ribbons by poverty. Autocratic governments sell addiction to the masses to numb them into complacency. Shopping sprees and material excess are the new cults. Reality television microwaves brains into plastic left-on-the-heater mush. Liberation has a price only a few are willing to pay. In Exposed!, a collection of horror fiction from Mike Heffernan, the smog clears just a bit, we're cut wide open like a vivisection and our dirty insides are on display.
