Based on James Joyce's "Dubliners," "Bartians" offers a retro-1990's portrait - humorous, violent, and spinning with political subtext - of the Okie queer identity, creeping out of history from the stories of a city whose unique take on Americana has long fascinated artists and investors like the filmmaker Terrence Malick. The citizens of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, expose their faults, hopes, and pain in a compilation of 14 short stories about not-so-everyday life. An Iraq War soldier's funeral is hastily planned. A yoga instructor struggles with addiction. A football player asks another boy to prom to spite his teacher. A group high school transgender students and misfits find a safe place to hide from the Y2K apocalypse. A formerly respectable doctor is ostracized. A politician and his family find themselves at the center of a scandal. A group of rough women sneak backstage at an Itzhak Perlman concert. Each short story exposes the wondrous and often menacing forces behind the pains and triumphs of the people called Bartians.This novel is the fourth in Kevin Snow's gonzo journalism series. It covers such news topics as the Oklahoma teachers' strike, the opioid epidemic, PTSD and the Iraq War, and the arson of Shin'enKan. Each novel in the series can be read either independently as a standalone book or in sequential order.

On February 22nd, 2018, the Wall Street Journal published an article, detailing over two decades of sexual harassment allegations against Disney Theatrical CEO Tom Schumacher and a corporate culture that punished those employees who would not be complicit with Schumacher's questionable behavior. In December of 2017, Harvey Weinstein's former assistant Zelda Perkins told the BBC she had informed Disney that Weinstein had attempted to rape a colleague in 1998. In November of 2017, former Disney staff employee Kevin Snow published a "gonzo journalism" manuscript, in which he fictionalized Disney's strangely sexual corporate culture and his own victimization by former executive Gregory Gunter. He immediately leaked this scoop to the press. In Mouschwitz, Snow uses fiction and adventure, rather than fact and memoir, to detail Disney's legal impunity and to paint a portrait of an industry gone berserk with power. Mouschwitz tells the story of a lonely queer staff writer in Michael Eisner's Disney empire who can't seem to get the break his career needs. Instead, the executive officers he works under seem more focused on selling him into prostitution and pornography, buying his used underpants, showing up to work without clothes on, and keeping him on staff to exploit his medical marijuana license. A psychedelic Bush-era flashback, laced with cynical humor and pop culture pastiche, Mouschwitz takes the reader on a dizzying journey through every nook and cranny of the entertainment industry, through multiple characters' perspectives, as Snow blends pointed social commentary with the dark and terrifyingly surreal. Mouschwitz is The Devil Wears Prada meets Moulin Rouge, while both get sucker punched by Mulholland Drive, as Slavoj Zizek watches in hysterical fits of laughter. At the end of the ride, the reader is left to wonder if America's Mouschwitz is here to stay. "Explosive" - Gordon Cox, Variety This novel is the third in Snow's gonzo journalism series. With illustrations by John-Ross Boyce and designed by Dr. Alex Alchwikani. Each novel in the series can be read either independently as a standalone book or in sequential order.

The Hapgood California mission was once the most successful mission in the Church of Latter-day Saints. Baptizing more converts than elders in most countries, the young men of the tiny Hapgood mission will go as far as it takes to gain power and glory. Elder Blood recounts tales of violence, sexual exploitation, insanity, and sadism among his fellow servants of the Mormon faith. Transcribed from over 200 hours of recorded audio accounts with minimal editing, Elder Blood's story reveals precise and peculiarly brutal methods used by the Priesthood to beat and pray the gay away. A world of exorcisms and waking nightmares, Hapgood is hiding deeper secrets than any faith can explain. Equally hilarious as it is shocking, "Fear and Loathing in the Mormon Church" is like a hyper-sexual "Handmaid's Tale" with all the spooky chic of a Seijun Suzuki film. The resulting outlaw mania is a story that could only come from the mind of Kevin Snow. This novel is the second in Snow's 16-part gonzo journalism series. Each novel in the series can be read either independently as a standalone book or in sequential order. With illustrations by John-Ross Boyce. Cover art by Dr. Alex Al-Chwikani.

Ronda Rousey has overcome personal tragedy to become a star who brought mixed martial arts into the mainstream and who serves as an inspiration to others. An Olympic medalist in martial arts, Rousey made the switch to mixed martial arts in 2010. Dispatching opponents with lightning speed, she built a following that landed her in magazine spreads and in action movies. She lost her first professional bout in 2015, but is still her sport's top attraction.

While researching narcotics for his law school's journal, a young man known only as "the Owl" finds himself swooping in and out of some of California's most impenetrable and notorious motorcycle clubs and secret societies: invite-only S&M house parties, the Sinaloa cartel, the Church of Satan, Burning Man camps, and even the alleged Gay Hip Hop Illuminati. Written on the 50th anniversary of Dr. Hunter Thompson's pivotal novel, the Owl's trip is a psychedelic, queer-infused reimagination of the birth of gonzo journalism. Speaking through stream-of-consciousness, the Owl, insufferably unreliable as a narrator, struggles to recount what lead him into organized crime, through spasms of drugs withdrawals, denials, deceptions, and hallucinations, all while eroding away his faith in the US justice system and growing increasingly hostile towards law enforcement. Unlike Dr. Thompson's original "Hell's Angels," Snow dives into the dirt with low profile street gangs, placing himself amidst rivaling factions and leaving more secrets hidden in the reader's subconscious than can be printed, in good taste, on the page. The result is a maze of absurd violence, unrepentant hedonism, technicolor insanity, and ultimately, a real nasty good time. This is the first novel in Snow's gonzo journalism series. Each novel in the series can be read either independently as a standalone book or in sequential order. With illustrations by John-Ross Boyce.
