Encyclopaedia of Hell:
An Invasion Manual for Demons Concerning the Planet earth and th Human Race Which Infests It
Translated from the Demonic by Martin Olson
With illustrations by this artist and Tony Millionaire et al.
Since the customs and mores of humanity are alien and inconceivable to demons, Satan wrote this strangely poetic military handbook for the enlightenment and edification of his demon armies. The Encyclopaedia includes "Techniques of Stalking and Eating Humans," "Methods of Canning Human Pus," and "Dicing and Slicing Orphaned Children."
Martin Olson is a comedy writer, television producer, stage director and composer associated with such televisual feasts as Phineas and Ferb, SpongeBob SquarePants and Penn & Teller. He lives in Los Angeles, better known to the Legions of Hell as Pandemonium-on-the-Pacific. His honeyed tongue on the telephone is a harbinger of sorts for naive illustrators. Available from Feral Press. ISBN 978-1936239047.
This is the funniest, most mordant book I've ever had the honor to contribute to. It is a comic masterpiece and if you feel that you must enjoy a good laugh at the expense of your wretched fellow man, rush out to buy it. It's as good as The Magic Christian and far better than A Confederacy of Dunces. Not suitable for small children or even the mildly religious, thank god.

Poets Ranked by Beard Weight: The Commemorative Edition
by Upton Uxbridge Underwood, edited by Gilbert Alter-Gilbert and illustrated by this artist. A tongue-in-cheek classic of Edwardian esoterica, a privately printed treatise offered by subscription to the informed man of fashion and as a divertissement au courant for the reading bins and cocktail tables of parlor cars, and smoking lounges of gentlemen’s clubs. Typifying a once-popular but nowadays seldom-encountered species of turn-of-the-century ephemera, it has become a rarity much prized by bibliophiles. See how the beards of Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau stack up against those of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Alfred Lord Tennyson. Published by Skyhorse, ISBN 978-1616082451.

Cocktails
A Poetry Anthology by D.A. Powell
An anthology of verse by D.A. Powell, translated into German by Christian Lux, with English en face (2009). Illustrations by this artist. Powell won the 2011 Kingsley Tufts Award and Cocktails is a good example of his compressed, muscular style. Until a publisher lets me have a stab at illustrating Chapman or Marlowe, Powell will do for me. Published by Lux Books, ISBN 978-3939557364.
