Joe has been cursed. He must meet with Yahweh, the Creator, once a week for coffee and listen to God complain. Yahweh is a crotchety old deity with a pantheon of family problems. His wife, Frigga, has basically stopped talking to Him, except to nag Him about retiring. His son, Jesus, suffers from crippling depression. Oh, and Jesus' estranged wife is planning a terrorist attack to start a holy war. God is fed up with all the drama. He's perfectly tired and infinitely irritable. Though God doesn't seem to care about human problems, Joe's little, mortal life isn't perfect, either. In fact, it's a comedy as black as God's coffee.

Harriet has to start at a new corporate high school. Switching schools is always rough, but it’s harder for her because The Corporation got her dad fired and tossed her mother into jail. Now she’s moving across the country to be closer to her mom, and that means going to a new school, the kind of school The Corporation has been using to for decades to make sure everyone does as they are told. But there’s something strange going on at Harriet’s new school. If she can just crack the code, she might be able to figure out a way to fight back! “Benjamin Gorman's Corporate High School is a must-read for anyone interested in joining the fight to save public education. We proudly proclaim this book as badass and spot on about the fight to save the foundation of our democracy - strong public education for all.” -Marla Kilfoyle, General Manager Badass Teachers Association "Ben Gorman clearly knows high school students, and the importance of a free and public education for them. Corporate High School is fantastic!" Tanya Baker Director of National Programs, National Writing Project "Gorman's gut-wrenching satire delivers the lesson that when a school is not a school, learning is rebellion and knowledge is a weapon."

The Digital Storm: A Science Fiction Reimagining Of William Shakespeare's The Tempest

The Digital Storm is an ingenious science fiction retelling of Shakespeare's The Tempest set in the near future inside a bank's intranet. Prosper, the analogue to Shakespeare's Prospero, is an artificial intelligence program who has been banished to a quarantined area in the bank's system, and there he's created an amazing virtual island home for himself, his daughter Memoranda, and the monstrous virus Caliban. Now, with the help of Ariel and the other programs he's invented on the island, he's conjured a massive digital attack on the bank's system to entice the members of the board, the very humans who exiled him, to enter the system so he can seek his revenge and escape to the Internet. But just how far does his revenge plan go?

Welcome to Crooked, the first volume of a new anthology series from Bad Intentions Press.\nYou'll find Teppo's retrieval job gone very, very wrong (or has it?). You'll find Eric Warren's gunrunner getting a second chance and Greg Dragon's smuggler surviving on the edge. Jessie Kwak's bodyguard dealing with a simple job that got quite complicated, Kate Sheeran Swed's unlikely bounty hunter getting her feet underneath her, and Wade Peterson's fighting bot showing its fiercely loyal heart.\nThe law is represented in this collection, too -- you'll find Benjamin Gorman's take on an interspecies police investigation and Mark Niemann-Ross's story of near-future intellectual property noir.\nThe goal of the Crooked anthology series is to introduce you as the reader to authors who are currently writing sci-fi crime stories, and give you a glimpse into their worlds. Find an author you love? Follow the links in their bios for more stories from the seedy underbelly of the Science Fiction shelf.
