November 2009

Clinicality Press is delighted to announce that it will be publishing its most ambitious and wide-ranging book to date early in 2010.

Edited by Christopher Nosnibor, author of THE PLAGIARIST, our first ever release, Clinical, Brutal: An Anthology of Writing with Guts is an anthology of works in both poetry and prose that encapsulates the ethos of Clinicality Press and the essence of Clinical Brutality as a mode of writing.

As Christopher writes in his introduction, ‘Excessive gore is not a prerequisite, but nor is it frowned upon. It’s all about those small, everyday random acts of violence, not all of which are physical or even necessarily entirely tangible, that are common to us all. Those little psychological pains we inflict on one another, the words that resonate long after they've cut deep, the behaviours we exhibit that make others uncomfortable or act in a certain way because we seek to manipulate a situation or an individual, or sometimes simply because we're pissed off or because we can... those are equally brutal, and so often clinical in their calculated execution.’ As such, the collection cuts to the core of human existence and combines brutality with beauty, in the form of some of the most devastating and precise, razor-sharp writing you’re likely to find.

The book will feature some truly stunning works – many of which are previously unpublished – by writers including D M Mitchell, Christopher Nosnibor, Stewart Home, Constance Stadler, Jim Lopez, Radcliff Gregory, Díre McCain, Pablo Vision, Maria Gornell and A.D. Hitchin.

The book will be available as a trade paperback via Amazon, Barnes and Noble and most other on-line book stores, as well as direct from Clinicality Press.

The official publication date, price and full line-up will be confirmed nearer the time. Keep an eye on the Clinicality Press website (http://clinicalitypress.co.uk) for updates and a few samples ahead of the book’s release.

July 2009

Due to unfoerseen cicumstances, the release date of THE BASTARDISER has been brought forward. The book will be available sometime in August. The following press release will be issued shortly:

The Delicate Sound of Thunder

This Autumn sees the publication of ‘The Bastardizer,’ a hard-hitting detective novel by Bill Thunder on Clinicality Press.

Thunder is your average disaffected, world-weary misanthropic PI. He’s been there, done that, seen it all and got it remembered in the minutest, most obsessive detail. But this is a case that sees him tested to his limits.

There’s nothing unusual about a missing man... but things are a little more complicated when the missing person happens to share a name with the world’s most famous recently-deceased celebrity. While on the hunt for Michael Jackson – a wealthy businessman – Thunder risks life and limb as he trawls the violent underworld of shady dealings and Internet pornography.

 ‘The Bastardizer’ is a truly unique novel. Combining ultraviolence more brutal than ‘A Clockwork Orange’ with the surgical detail of ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ the misanthropic narrative of ‘The Bastardizer’ ploughs a new groove against the well-worn furrows of genre fiction.

Packed with fast-paced action and sharp dialogue, it’s dark, abrasive and comical, often all at the same time.  Are you ready for the roll of Thunder?

May 2009

Clinicality Press is pleased to announce that work is well under way on the Clinicality Anthology, Clinical, Brutal.... which will be published in trade paperback this Autumn. Curated and edited by Christopher Nosnibor, it will feature works by a truly dazzling array of remarkable contemporary writers. Watch this space for details of contributors, coming soon.

Although the anthology will occupy much time and consume inordinate amounts of energy for what is a very small publisher, there are already plans for 2010.

Following on from the success of THE PLAGIARST, Clinicality will be releasing a collection of poetry and more by Christopher Nosnibor, entitled THE PLAGIARIST REMIXED. This is pencilled in for early Spring 2010, and will be followed by THE BASTARIZER by Bill Chunder. This ultra-hard-boiled detective novel is tentatively scheduled for Autumn 2010. We hope there will be further publications between now and then: as son as there' any news, you can be sure it will be posted here.
