"Caleb Bethea does the impossible: they turn the singular and strange into universal. Fever Clowns explores a subject so whacko, drives it all the way to the end, and comes out…

ARC REVIEW: Caleb Bethea's FEVER CLOWNS
the looming buffoonery of Bethea's book promises a barrel of laughs. Laughter masks terror and excruciating pain.

The future is cool as f&$k, but you wouldn't wanna live there. Welcome to the frayed-wire autopsy of a near-future Nebraska, lit by neon promises & smoldering dreams. High on body augmentations; low on moral reckonings. This is @beardedbetts.bsky.social's MIDWESTERN CHROME. Out August 11th. ⬇️
Cover art by AriBo, a bustling downtown area rendered in electric purples, pinks, whites and blues; a cyberpunk dude in mirrored shades and sleek zipless clothes lurks in an alleyway, clutching the severed head of an android woman intimately to him; a passerby looks back curiously.
Plus kind blurbs from Michael Moreci and Sean Doolittle
