Signed Books & T-Shirts for Absurdist Horror Enjoyers
Pre-Order SKULL SLIME TENTACLE WITCH WAR today!
My new novel SKULL SLIME TENTACLE WITCH WAR doesn’t technically come out (via Anxiety Press) until July 9.
HOWEVER.
I’ve got a SPECIAL HEAP of books and you, dear Absurdist Horror subscribers, are the first to know how to pre-order a signed copy AND get a t-shirt, which I had made because I thought my design would make a kickass t-shirt. (And I was right!)
Please read to the end because like any hawker of goods there are DISCOUNTS if you want multiple things I’m shilling.
But enough of that claptrap – BEHOLD, THE HEAP!
Standard price for the book: $19 + $5 shipping. ($24)
Now, check out this t-shirt!!! The design is one of the 13 full-page illustrations that appear in the novel and the t-shirt material is UPSETTINGLY SOFT and UNSPEAKABLY COZY.
There are only about 20 total AND they are just for you, sizes S-XL.
Standard price for a t-shirt: $20 + $5 shipping. ($25)
HOWEVER: If you order a book AND a t-shirt TOGETHER, the price is $40, SHIPPING INCLUDED.
IN CASE YOU NEEDED MORE PROOF ENGLISH MAJORS ARE BAD AT MATH.
OR THAT LEFTISTS ARE BAD AT BUSINESS.
ANYWAY. MY CAPS LOCK APPEARS TO BE STUCK.
Okay there we go.
To order, Paypal the funds for whatever you want to me via rclaypo AT gmail DOT com. Venmo is ok too. Make sure to send me your t-shirt size and your address. Send any questions to the same place.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU ALL TO ENJOY THE HEINOUS DELIGHTS OF SKULL SLIME TENTACLE WITCH WAR.
Here’s what Andrew F. Sullivan, author of fabulously gloopy, maliciously moldy, and catastrophically class struggle-y novel The Marigold says about it:
“Abrasive, abrupt, and absurd, Claypool has crafted a well-oiled machine designed to sow mayhem and misanthropy throughout our diseased cosmos. ”
The Marigold features one of my all-time favorite fungoid characters in all of fiction, as well as some of the most biting commentary on gig work and property developers. If you haven’t read it yet you desperately need to, no joke.
Ok that’s it! Pre-order SKULL SLIME TENTACLE WITCH WAR today! BYE!

P.S. More blurbs are coming, but so far these are the others I’ve shared publicly:
“Rick Claypool’s latest is a sort of mucosal fable. Dark, gloopy and hilarious, imagine 80s Verhoeven body horror meets the knife-sharp staccato prose of James Ellroy, with a dash of Beckett for absurd measure. A very funny and very weird book.”
-Oliver Zarandi, author of Soft Fruit In The Sun
"Nonstop insanity with a charming Bizarro family at its core. Claypool gets you emotionally invested in a guy that pukes knives and possibly the most disgusting baby ever. It's goop with heart."
-Lor Gislason, author of Inside Out
