bradleysands23@hotmail.com BioI'm an author of bizarro fiction. My novel, IT CAME FROM BELOW THE BELT, was published by Afterbirth Books.
Click below to visit my website:
Meet Grover Goldstein: Twenty-First Century rascal, trainee provocateur, boy next door who won't stop snickering at you from behind the lawn gnome. Swallowed by a giraffe and regurgitated oodles of years into the future, Grover must satisfy his urge to go home—even if it means going back to high school and helping his severed, and sentient, penis win the presidential election. Come along to Assumption High as Grover tries to answer the age-old question, “What if I had forgotten then what I don’t know now?”
"Bradley Sands' debut novel is an absurdist dreamscape that subverts the physical laws of the world as we know it and exposes a brilliant new arena of bizarro existence. In It Came from Below the Belt, the body becomes a surreal, grotesque playground as enfant terrible Grover Goldstein tears through the libidinal fabric of time and space on an uncanny journey to the end of the night. This is speculative fiction at its best. Sands is a talented, fearsome, comic visionary who will usher you into the psychedelic matrix of futurity."
-- D. Harlan Wilson, author of STRANGER ON THE LOOSE and PSEUDO-CITY
"Reading the work of Bradley Sands caused me to vomit happiness and sunshine from my eyeballs. Highly recommended."
-- Kevin L. Donihe, author of SHALL WE GATHER AT THE GARDEN? and editor of BARE BONE
I came, I saw, I read, I laughed, I fell out of my chair. You're more unstable than I am. Well done! Just beware those big brawny guys with the net. They're faster than they look. And you've got more books to write. Rock on.
-- Kris Saknussemm, author of ZANESVILLE
Now available through my website, Afterbirth Books, Shocklines, the Genre Mall, Amazon, or your favorite online bookstore. You can also special order it from your local bookstore.
I'm also the editor of the lit journal, Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens
ISSUE 8 IS NOW AVAILABLE AT THE JOURNAL'S WEBSITE
Includes stories by Sam Pink, Blake Butler, D. Harlan Wilson, Rhys Hughes, Ofelia Hunt, Cameron Pierce, Mike Young, Matthew Simmons, Darby Larson, Aaron Sitze, and Adam Breckenridge.
