Slated for release in the spring of 2011, Wolves is a novel-length definitive memoir that will weave together and extrapolate from Indestructible Wolves Of The Apocalypse Junkyard, 23, and Looking For The Magic.
“… a horrifically funny, nerve-scorchingly rendered howl from the Lower Depths of Adolescent Hell. Think Harry Crews and Celine geezing crank and swapping fun-time memories with Flannery O’Connor in a burned-out motel, with John Waters taking notes in blood. Morton’s stop-the-presses recollection of clown molestation is worth the price of admission. But every page offers more evidence, not just of festive teenage torment, but of the author’s stature as a full-on American original. This is a book you don’t just want to read, you want to smack people in the face with. It’s that good.” –Jerry Stahl
While in the final flickers of time travel, a few limited offerings will be produced.
First: New Wave Hookers; a fanzine featuring a chapter from Wolves.
(2): Jet Fueled Horses debut cassette release.
(3): New WLVS shirts on Shop Shogun.
Fourth: A fanzine featuring an adapted screenplay by Morton and A. De Benedetti.

Friends,
Join us this Thursday at the New Museum to celebrate the long journey on the arm of death.
Featured will be Morton/Mlynarski’s book Initiation
Alpha, a ten page zine of cut-up collages featuring the words of Max G Morton, by A. De Benedetti
Trampling The Cross Underfoot (tape) by Max G Morton/ Jason Wood
Heartworm #42 Initiation is a reader for both the seasoned astral travelers and those who are too tired to dream. This new 40-page collection from Max G Morton is accompanied by the images of Sebastian Mlynarski and features three stories including a revised edition of Morton’s previously released Scarecrow, and the complete ten page Heavenly Metals, whose beginning paragraphs can be heard on the Cold Cave song of the same name. The first 100 copies are packaged with a red vellum insert to accentuate Mlynarski’s photo centerfold, a film still from Waves (Yet to Be Titled). The film can be seen in its entirety at the Initiation event at the New Museum on September 9th along with performances by Jet Fueled Horses and Johanna Constantine. This book is limited and will ship September 1st.
Initiation by Max G Morton with accompanying images by Sebastian Mlynarski, available September 9th.

September 9, 2010
Initiation is the first in a series of performances seeking a psychonautic state of consciousness, paralleling the efforts of Brion Gysin’s Dreamachine. The centerpiece of the evening is a reading of Cut-Ups by Max G. Morton. These Cut-Ups of his writings will be accompanied by projected visual Cut-Ups, directed by Sebastian Mlynarski; and live programming, instrumentation, and a dueling audio track performed and composed by F. Sean Martin. The evening will open with a dance composition by Johanna Constantine, drawn from her repertoire of monolithic, often nearly stationary performances that include heavy use of makeup and body extensions. Following this dance will be the debut of Mlynarski’s latest work, Not Yet Titled (Waves) (2010), featuring a score by Andrew Blakemore Wyatt (Miike Snow). The three performances will bleed together as one being in three separate dimensions. The flickering, pulsing barrage of words, sounds, and images will leave a hallucinogenic glow over the evening and all attending.
Author and curator Max G. Morton’s words have yet to fail the hungry global tribe of whom he speaks, and all of his works are coveted collector’s items. Morton currently runs Heartworm Press alongside Wesley Eisold, and resides in the West Village. He has written lyrics for and performed with Cold Cave (on Cremations) and has performed alongside Boyd Rice, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, and John Joseph.
Johanna Constantine was a founding member of the Blacklips performance group in New York’s East Village circa 1992. She continues to collaborate with co-founder Antony Hegarty, notably lending her talents to the music video for “Epilepsy is Dancing” by Antony and the Johnsons. In addition to her numerous solo performances, Constantine has collaborated with Charles Atlas and William Basinski.
Sebastian Mlynarski was born in a sulfur-mining town in Poland. At the age of fourteen he left his home and immigrated to New York, where he works as a photographer. His work has been exhibited at Peres Projects, Silver Shed, the Gowanus Studio, Fuse Gallery, Live With Animals, and Verge Gallery.
F. Sean Martin is a musician, songwriter, and producer best known for his near-decade spent playing guitar for the Connecticut hard-core band Hatebreed. He recently produced the album Depart From Me by New York underground rapper Cage, and is a member of XO Skeletons. He currently resides in Connecticut where he is co-owner of Brass City Tattoo.
