INDUCTION OF THE SYCOPHANT • JUNE 25 NYC

What happens when a Luc Sante inducts a Tiger Moody into authordom at the infamous NYC women's prison court house on the anniversary of one of the joint's most famous murder cases? One might respond loudly, "MAYHEM!" Join us in this open rally at historicJefferson Market Courthouse a/k/a Jefferson Market Library NYPL on Thursday, June 25. The event is free of charge and is open to the public. Doors are at 7. Proceedings at 7:30. Limited space. Books and perfumes will be available for sale and signing. The authors are prepared for cross examination. INDUCTION OF THE SYCOPHANT, shall we refer to it shortly as IOTS, is a hip-pocket paperback fictional tale set in the anti-comics nightmare alley days of yore, with characters drawn (and quartered) from the Frederic Wertham Supreme Court news reel atrocities. Moody has been described by beat poet/Zap Comix granddad Charles Plymell as follows: "Tiger brings back the Times Square of Burroughs and Huncke…his lines are full of anticipation, like balloons in comic frames going off in time release blasts os Dexedrine spansule. Brilliant!" Killer writer Luc Sante will induct Herr Moody this night, and shall expound on crime, comics, and courthouses . Sante is the mind behind masterpiece including LOW LIFE: LURES AND SNARES OF OLD NEW YORK, EVIDENCE and KILL ALL YOUR DARLINGS.

Here is the first new act of writing with the ability to force the reader into the streets to shout HELP… the first new printed effort to deliver total mayhem and ritual ruthlessness, remolding 20th century popular culture into its original dead-end slur... Tiger Moody weaves his deadeye polemic with a cynical charm reserved for a darker, better era. Join us in celebrating the publication of INDUCTION OF THE SYCOPHANT, the greatest new book since the Gypsy Witch Book Of Numbers.
"Having 'Induction of the Sycophant' next to 'The Red Book' of Carl Jung and the 'Codex Seraphinianus' by Luigi Sarafini completes my Trilogy of Insanity...in spades."
Richard Lloyd, Television
"Moody is the best thing to happen to writing since I figured out you can cop a buzz huffing correction fluid."
Gillian McCain, Please Kill Me
"Moody has the nerve to confront the reader with the notion that the old farts and witch hunters may have really been onto something, and that lives may have been ruined. Then he further goads the reader to perseverate over whether they should even give a shit."
Adam Woodrow Nathanson, Born Against
"A very good writer...I am happy that he doesn't DRAW cartoons! He doesn't, does he?"
Arnold Roth, Trump/ Humbug/ Help!
