Piecemeal June
Novella
Eraserhead Press / 2008
Kevin lives in a small apartment above a porn shop with his tarot-reading cat, Mithra. He has gotten used to
Mithra bringing him things from outside: dead mice, Twinkie wrappers, donut scraps, houseplants, and the
occasional rabbit head. But one day, Mithra brings him an ankle... a sweaty piece of rubber-latex shaped like a
human ankle. Later, he is brought an eyeball, then a foot.
After more latex body parts are brought upstairs, Kevin decides to glue them together to form a piecemeal sex
doll. But once the last piece is glued into place, the sex doll comes to life. She says her name is June. She
comes from another world and is on the run from an evil pornographer and three crab-human hybrid assassins.
Piecemeal June is a reality-bending journey into love, sex, death, and a bizarre parallel world of butchered
flesh.

"Jordan Krall is a bit like Jonathan Lethem meets the Coen Brothers with an H.P. Lovecraft fetish. His
tales will quickly grow on you. Read two books and you'll be addicted." - Carlton Mellick III, author of

“Embedding this ultra-violent comedy with a heart as hardboiled as Hell in pink lace, Jordan Krall is a
splatter-pop sensation. With the advent of Krall on the Bizarro scene, grindhouse glory has not only
returned, it was retransmogrified.” - Cameron Pierce, author of ASS GOBLINS OF AUSCHWITZ

"PIECEMEAL JUNE is a Crowleyan retelling of Ovid's wholesome tale [of Pygmalion].....If Aleister Crowley
was indeed the incarnation of Satanist Pope Alexander VI or the magus Eliphas Levi, then Jordan Krall
must be You-Know-Who Redivivus." - Tom Bradley, author of LEMUR

"The plot is well-paced, the characters lovingly fleshed out, all of which add up to a read that’s just out-
and-out fun. Some of the descriptions stick in your brain for days (a sex doll with banana-flavored toe
jam, anyone?)” -Whitney Lakin, winner of the World Horror Convention’s GROSS-OUT CONTEST

"Krall is an exciting new voice to arrive on the horror scene. He combines gross-out with occultism but
never forgets that characters are what make a story." - Dark Scribe Magazine

"Sure, this is as weird as you'd expect from an Eraserhead Press release, but certain scenes are so
funny--and our obscure couple so cool--you'll really get lost in the situations and characters to the point
all the background strangeness becomes an afterthought." - The Horror Fiction Review
