The Dinner Show is up as an ebook on Godless! I highly recommend getting it from here if you prefer ebooks. It's DRM-free, cheaper, and you'll be supporting people who write about monsters and psychos instead of actual ones.
I have some bad news and some good news.
The bad news is that my novel If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares will be going out of print soon.
I appreciate Baynam Books Press putting it out and being great to work with.

Since we now have the proof in hand, I'll go ahead & announce this.
Rob Ramirez's debut novel has been picked up by Anxiety Press! It should be out somewhere between the end of March and beginning of April. This is a fun read & I can't wait to share it with everyone who missed the original run.

I ended up finishing Silence in the Concrete Cathedral sooner than I thought. I just need to edit it before I start shopping it to publishers.
I also now have some copies of The Dinner Show. DM or email me if you want a signed copy.

The Dinner Show by Ben Arzate
The Dinner Show and Other Consumptions is Ben Arzate’s collection of short stories, and the terrain it covers is gruesome, tragic, extreme, dark, and unmistakably horrific. The themes are rooted firmly in the contemporary world: the poor and working class exploited by the powerful; the disgruntled and the oppressed attempting to redress imbalance; ecocide, mass homicide, prison breaks, corporate cults, reality television, and cannibalism.
