While you were crying into your beer and brats at home, upset that your Memorial Day barbeque was rained out, Quimby’s had a blast with Chris Besinger (left), who read from his book The Usual Beast and the bands Group Icky Rats and ONO (right).
Bestsellers last week:
1. Craphound #4 Clowns Devils and Bait $12.00 – Holy Shit, the Craphound #4 reprint landed and it makes me smile like Ren and dance like Stimpy!

Thrilling, terrifying, mind-blowing, hands down one of the world’s greatest zines! – EF
2. Cinema Sewer #23 by Robin Bougie $4.00 – Cinema Sewer is the direct heir and foremost survivor of decades of mayhem-trash-film fanzines and Robin Bougie has proven time and again that there’s still meatballs to be pulled out of the gravy. His tastes are extreme but also interestingly ecclectic, and this issue includes a rundown of his favorite noir films and a review of a Betty Dobson feminist masturbation video along with plenty of <dare-I-say> thoughtful reviews of rare smut and grindcore. -EF

Steampunk Yes, we have started a steampunk shelf. These are just some of the titles we have added. As more titles come in we’ll let you know. Some of these are not necessarily new books, but they are new to Quimby’s. What is steampunk, you say? There are tons of ways to describe it, but here are some helpful nouns and adjectives: neo-Victorian science fiction, sepia-toned goth, brass goggles, airships, gears, Britishness, clocks, cogs, all the while wearing your esteemed finery.

When asked about his influences, Eugene Nelson Jr. points to three enduring sources: growing up on the Southside of Chicago in the 1970s and 80s, playing Role Playing Games with people all over Chicago, and loving my family everyday. Not a likely combination for a writer, but one that has brought forth Covert Operations: Alpha (AuthorHouse Publishing), a debut book that is filled with action, love, friendship, death, mystery, humor, magic, betrayal, technology and vengeance. All set here in the back drop of Chicago. Fast paced and intriguing, Covert Operations: Alpha’s science fiction marks the difficulties of everyday life in a world that has evolved into a powerful society filled with powerful beings. This book will wake up every brain cell you have in an effort to understand each character and their actions. Just when you think you understand something, everything will change and so will your understanding. This is the thinking man’s book and you will enjoy every moment of it. So check your equipment at the door and get ready for the time of your life as you are introduced to the world of Covert.
Bad attitudes meet sophisticated intelligence, and underground crime meets big business in this involving debut book. Eugene Nelson Jr.’s complicated characters and rude cut offs in Covert Operations: Alpha evoke a self-absorbed population. Eugene Nelson Jr., who still lives in Chicago, works from home now and spends most of his time creating new and exciting tales from his role playing game by the same name of Covert Operations.
QUIMBY’S T-SHIRTS?! Ahem. I mean, Quimby’s T-Shirts. For the first time since Quimby’s arrived on your home planet of Earth, you can wear our family crest on your chest! We decided to go pretty simple for our maiden voyage into the world of wearables: our logo (designed by the mighty and valiant Chris Ware) printed 5″ on black, pre-shrunk 100% cotton shirts.
These little treasures were printed just down the street at our neighbors’ Broken Cherry, and we’ve got a bunch of them in an assortment of sizes:
Ladies’: X Large, Large, Medium, Small
Men’s: XX Large, X Large,
Large, Medium, Small
Ankle Biters’: Size 2, 3, 4, 5/6
You can stop by and exchange $14.99 for it. Or if visiting the store would involve a plane ticket, you can always make us do all the work (with a little help from the United States Postal Service) by ordering it here.
We went to pick up books from the Independent Publishers Group warehouse on the south side. They had conveyer belts all over the place. It was like a highway system. We figured they wouldn’t let us take a ride on it, so we took a picture of it to show you how cool it looks.

Writer Alan Goldsher & Artist Jeffrey Brown will present their new book, Present Paul Is UnDead: The British Zombie Invasion, that Goldsher wrote and Brown illustrated.
Are readers ready for a world in which the Beatles just wanna eat your brains? ALAN GOLDSHER (Hard Bop Academy) thinks so, and he may be right. In this humor-filled splatterfest, the rise and fall of the zombie Beatles unfolds through eyewitness accounts, newspaper clippings, and interviews. Violence and music go hand-in-hand as the zombiefied Lennon, Harrison, and McCartney fight, eat, and rock their way to fame and popularity while ninja lord Ringo Starr tries to keep them out of trouble. Nothing can stop them–not even a vampiric Pete Best, zombie-killing Mick Jagger, rival ninja Yoko Ono, or bad reviews. In fact, their only enemies may be one another, as personal conflicts threaten to break them up for good. Roughly paralleling the real-world career of the Beatles, this alternate history reimagines successes, failures, and rivalries with over-the-top bizarro charm.
JEFFREY BROWN illustrated Paul Is Undead. He’s best known for his bittersweet autobiographical graphic novels like Clumsy, Unlikely, and more. His work has appeared in McSweeney’s, NPR’s This American Life, the Chicago Reader, the New City, and Time. He has been featured on and created a short animated music video for the band Death Cab For Cutie.
The final words of the famous and infamous have been collected since antiquity because they speak to a primal curiosity and spark introspection: What does one say on the edge of oblivion?
We expect last words to be poignant, a résumé or summation of life experience. Sometimes they are, sometimes they are not. We want them to reveal secrets. But they very seldom do. Journalist Robert K. Elder spent 7 years writing Last Words of the Executed, chronicling the ?nal thoughts of the most discarded, reviled members of society. It’s an oral history of the overlooked, the infamous and the forgotten—who nonetheless speak to a common humanity with their last act on earth. This is the history of capital punishment in America, told from the gallows, the chair, and the gurney.
“This is a dangerous book. Who knows how we will emerge from the encounter? It makes me want to live, to use my energies in soul-sized pursuits like justice, like love…”
—Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking
“Robert K. Elder is a journalist in the noblest tradition. . . . What I will remember most about this book is its poetry in the speech of people at the most traumatic moment of their lives.”
—Studs Terkel, from the foreword

You can either present something your working on, and get feedback, or just hang out and work on your project and not feel so all alone for one night.
