Enter darkness… (at La Jolla Brewing Company)
Available Now!
When I worked at the Indian casino, there was a sign in our office posted right above the security camera that read, “THIS IS NOT A CAMERA.” I loved that sign. It was both a bit of da-da absurdism and a reminder that big brother was always watching. Naturally, I stole it.
THIS IS NOT A CAMERA is a zine about my experiences working at the casino that served as the inspiration for Thunderclap Casino in my novel Forest of Fortune. The zine is free. I’ll be giving it away at readings like at Noir At The Bar-San Diego this Sunday, the AWP book fair and the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books to name just a few. Or you can order it online.
It’s here! THIS IS NOT A CAMERA fresh from the printer. #forestoffortune (at Razorcake HQ)
