Get LIT With Leza

I chill with my old friend Garrett Cook. He is a badass Bizarro and Deadite Horror writer & he is the editor of the New Bizarro Author Series by Eraserhead Press. He has written such books as 'Murderland' 'Archelon Ranch' 'A God of Hungry Walls' 'Jimmy Plush: Teddy Bear Detective' and won the Wonderland Award for excellence in Bizarro literature for 'Time Pimp.' We talk golden showers, Voodoo rituals, writing rituals, and why Portland Oregon is doggy heaven. Enlist his editing services at garrettcookeditor.wordpress.com Twitter @GarrettACook
