Hi, I. E. Kneverday here. That’s definitely not my real name, by the way, but I’m sure you figured that out already given your exceptional intellect—you did have the good sense to navigate to the “books” section of this website, after all.
I should clarify that these are all books I wrote (or edited/anthologized) and published under my Mt. Misery Press imprint. (Three cheers for independent publishing!)
I pour my heart, soul, and several liters of black coffee into these books. Please enjoy them, and cherish them, then give them away and buy new copies. You never know when a hardcover collector’s edition of one of these titles is going to drop. (Actually, you will know…if you follow my author profile on Amazon.)
But I digress.
