murder was the case that they gave me

Brooklyn band Professor Murder knows where its at. Deadly synths, 'ard drums and beards to make you wish it was winter all year long. Sink your teeth into obese beats and their slinky rockism.

I just saw Kyp Malone in my grocery store. He likes apples.

Works

I'm working on a novel. Houston, in the year 2024, is filled with rappers-as-sorcerers and a 33-year-old Mexican-American DJ named Juan Gomez who lives with his parents. What is more sci-fi than rich Mexicans? Living in River Oaks while a mysterious red Buick Regal roams the neighborhood and a pint-sized Rhodes Scholar rapper who is obsessed with Schopenhauer. A part-satire, part-thriller, part-naco science-fiction novel where David Foster Wallace meets UGK? Look for it on bookshelves in 2093.

Fantasma Press is an indie publishing house based in Brooklyn, NY. Genre stories, weird stories, avant-garde/experimental fiction, Spanish-language fiction and dope drawings and essays are forthcoming in the future. I also use it to publish tiny chapbooks of shit I know would never sell anywhere else. Give me your $$$.
