One of my most-anticipated new books of 2025 is tireless literary champion Adam al-Sirgany’s debut fiction collection, MORE HELL, which will be released by Whisk(e)y Tit Press later this summer!
From the publisher: “In Midwestern flyover country, the stories of More Hell weave a rich and sometimes comic tapestry of longing, addiction, sex, and loss. The wild cast of rural characters navigate a fast-changing world from their vantage point in a place unaccustomed to such change.”
You can pre-order MORE HELL right here, right now!
But I hope that any and all denizens of the Midwest will join us at Maze Books in Rockford, IL at 6:30 PM CST this August 22 to celebrate. I’ll be reading a little something from HORSE SHOW along with Jenna Goldsmith, Don Heneghan, Rachel León, Dave Pedersen, and of course Adam al-Sirgany himself, who will be signing fresh, hot copies of MORE HELL! It’s going to be a blast!
