Brian Allen Carr is today’s guest. He is the award-winning author of the story collection Short Bus, and his latest collection, Vampire Conditions, is now available from Holler Presents.
Harrold Jaffe says
Vampire Conditions melds a precise Texas regional with gothic, recalling Flannery O’Connor, who wrote out of Georgia. But Carr’s intricate narrative patterns, jump cuts and unanticipated segueshave a distinctly postmodern feel. Any way you cut it, Brian Allen Carr is a potently eccentric writer.
And Robert Lopez raves
At turns dark and brutal and wickedly funny, Brian Allen Carr’s Vampire Conditions will put you in mind of Hannah, Pancake, Powell. This book will grab you by the throat and knock the wind out of you, will make you want to drive south, raise hell, hide out, call home, tell your friends.
Monologue topics: dreams, childbirth, salad bars, fetuses, Christmas, doll houses, emasculation, 2012, passage of time.

When the baby is being born its not a “fetus” anymore b/c it’s usually finished being developed.
Duly noted. I actually thought about that as I was wrapping up production on the intro. But I left it alone because I like the word fetus, feel like it has ‘greater comic potential’ or something.
nah, shits just weird.
Great stuff, really enjoyed this.
Great episode. I found myself giggling throughout because Brian seems really goofy and happy-go-lucky.
