Head over and “like” Brock Brower’s Facebook page to see the original, 1971 cover art for The Late Great Creature, being re-released by Overlook this October.

Something fun we cooked up at Sonnet Media. You must see the covers from the “unshockable seventies.” (SPOILER: One of the covers actually has the phrase “unshockable seventies” on it.)

PRAISE FOR
WHY THEY CRIED



"... demonstrates real insight into the way we live now."
–The Rumpus

"Reminiscent of George Saunders and James Thurber, Why They Cried is a great collection of modern tales."
–Hannah Tinti, author of The Good Thief and co-founder of One Story

"Jim Hanas has a remarkable talent for imagining and crafting uncanny little worlds that make me vaguely nervous. And yet I never want to leave."
–Rob Walker, co-founder of Significant Objects

"A tender and smart assembly of fiction about people trying to communicate—with each other, the world—and all the ways they fail. Fail better, fail beautifully."
–Fiona Maazel, author of Last Last Chance

Jim Hanas is the author of the short story collection Why They Cried (Joyland eBooks/ECW Press) and social media editor at The New York Observer.
