What’s not being discussed in the Zuckerberg case is how kids getting hooked on Facebook and Instagram, like all addicts, could well develop co-occurring addictions as a result. This will only contribute to the epidemic of addiction that no one wants to talk about in America.

My story in COSTS OF LIVING is a rare venture into Chicago writing for me. It is about those grotesque Midwest millipedes that invade our homes every summer. I hope you will share this post and support this book!

But 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN has equally exceptional song craft and arguably superior production. But instead of anti-fascism, it is a punk rock love story. A snot and leather ROMEO AND JULIET with equally timeless and transcendent melodies top to bottom. GREAT FUCKING RECORD.

AMERICAN IDIOT adapts to every generation (and will continue to do so for subsequent generations) due to Federal stupidity—a timeless anti-establishment theme, the furnace of punk rock.

People gonna scoff at this. Hear me out. Green Day’s 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN is as good an album as AMERICAN IDIOT.

The difference? Like 1984, FAHRENHEIT 451, or Ellison’s the INVISIBLE MAN, AMERICAN IDIOT was astute political commentary when it came out and remains timeless today.

Sam Weller's story "Creepy Crawly" in COSTS OF LIVING is punchy and economical in its delivery of, well creepy crawliness. It lives up to its title! Check out our first anthology, published just a little while ago, ASAP!

The Grammys. The Olympics. The Super Bowl. The message is that the world loves diversity. Don’t let the billionaires tell you otherwise.

My favorite horror story set inside a home would be the John Carpenter film Halloween

Jefferson Davis

Jefferson Davis

Prior to becoming the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis was the Secretary of War under President Franklin Pierce. Today, under the current administration, the Department of Defense is now called the Department of War once again. They want “the South to Rise Again.”

If you live in Chicago, you know them. The dreaded creepy crawlers. My story in the exceptional anthology COSTS OF LIVING examines our fear of these ghastly insects.

Hope you will check it out! Steve Capone jr. @whisperhousepress.bsky.social did an amazing job with this book!
