CLAYPOOL
author / researcher / activist
THE MOLD FARMER (Six Gallery Press, 2020) is now available at Bookshop.org and everywhere books are sold.
Praise for THE MOLD FARMER:
"Fantastic" ... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Grimdark Magazine (full review)
"A wonderfully odd novella with a profoundly human core."
-Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World and The Warren
"I found Rick Claypool's Mold Farmer a voice that held me in its grip. Full-on body horror merges with the most human of concerns -- family, and how to protect it -- to produce a fascinating, frightening tale."
-Aliya Whiteley, author of The Loosening Skin and The Beauty
LEECH GIRL LIVES (Spaceboy Books, 2017), Rick's debut novel, is also available from Bookshop.org and everywhere books are sold.
Praise for LEECH GIRL LIVES:
"A maximalist revolution in minimalist prose — if China Mieville wrote Saturday-morning cartoons."
-Nick Mamatas, author of I Am Providence and Sensation
"Wild and strange and endlessly entertaining; an epic post-apocalyptic cartoon dream-satire — like an Adult Swim version of Logan's Run meets The Matrix in the world of 'Thundarr the Barbarian.' One of a kind!"
-Ben Loory, author of Tales of Falling and Flying
"a deeply weird book and one that delights in its weirdness. It’s part old-school pulp and part new-school post-modernist playground. It’s all parts Rick Claypool, and the writer’s entertaining idiosyncrasies bounce off of the pages" ... "great fun"
