I just finished reading Jack Skelley's FEAR OF KATHY ACKER, a darkly comedic stream-of-consciousness rant that's half dirty realism and half Joycean monologue. This unique experimental novel would make a fantastic one-man show. Highly recommended!
"Deft, deadpan, dreadful, deliberate, delirious. Perfect adult bedtime reading."
—Jane Rankin-Reid, White Hot Magazine
"Fear of Kathy Acker is one of the great lost masterpieces of ’80s experimental fiction. That it’s no longer an inaccessible legend is huge."
—Dennis Cooper
"Jack Skelley pours it on like sometimes blam blam blam like the riff in 'Death Valley '69' but mostly with a surfer’s rhythm like the cool throb of his guitar, his writing the poetics of pink love and punk pool splash action, the sound I adore."
—Thurston Moore
"Despite the dislike of seeing my own name, you’re really a good writer—never what’s expected."
—Kathy Acker
