| AFTERDEAD 1.2 — A Beautiful Death This book is the first 64 pages after the original AFTERDEAD. “A Beautiful Death” tells the story of the Desert Peach in an afterlife completely unlike anything he’d expected. In the AfterReich, the black centaur stallion Stinz has been chosen for the honor of breeding for the Reich. He wants the Desert Fox’s gay brother to accompany him for moral support, especially against his own wife, who is SO PROUD of him. Pope Rosen takes on the Mormon breeding-farm commandant. A roller-derby queen and company officer is invited to her brother’s prisoner wedding — with him as the wife. The Peach brings plenty of hankies. “A Beautiful Death” is the full-color version of the black and white version, originally published as “The Desert Peach Crosses Over.” That version is out of print.

| Angels and Vampires 22 wondrous color watercolor and gouache paintings, by the author of the classic drawn-book series “The Desert Peach” and “Stinz.” Are these beautiful winged women spirits of light, or the Undead in flight? The author leaves that up to the reader. Your vampire may be someone else’s angel. Each painting is done in a different style, including science-fiction and fantasy illustration, religious icons and folk or vision paintings. Print: $12.30 Download: $1.24 | |
| Permanent Party “Permanent Party is – what? A Vietnam-era W.A.C.’s Catch-22? A roman-à-clef? A murder mystery? A poetic memoir? Barr’s ear for dialogue is flawless, her descriptions of human physiognomy hilarious. The dramatic rhythm is sporadic and punctuated, deliberately defying the breathless crescendi of fiction with the unresolved panics and careless lulls of real life in a gigantic bureaucracy. Small, throwaway bits of telling detail — peeling paint chips, a dog’s sneeze on being patted, the smell of chicken frying — give the entire book a sensuous texture. The characters in this woman’s Army are so steeped in weirdness they wouldn’t have been out of place in my college dorm (and we were the campus hippies).” — E.J.
