Ben Brooks, the under-twenty author of FENCES (Fugue State Press, 2009) & AN ISLAND OF FIFTY (Mud Luscious Press, 2010) is running a fantastic new promotional campaign for his next book THE KASAHARA SCHOOL OF NIHILISM (Fugue State Press, 2010). Read the whole deal after the jump, or just hit his blog now for the words…
“Pretty much I am not good at promoting things. But I came up with an idea for this one and ran it past james and he said ‘do it’. So it will be done. Although how many people choose to participate will be unpredictable. Here is how it will work:
1. You will sign up to the large scale promotional campaign by emailing your address and the name of a local bookshop which you will need for later to brooksben@hotmail.co.uk
2. When the book has been printed (pretty soon) I will send you a copy of the book.
3. You will read the book hopefully.
4. After you have finished reading the book you will put it onto the shelf at your local bookshop. Inside the book will be written:
Dear Happy Shopper,
Please take this book home with you
You do not have to pay for it because it is not really supposed to be here
If someone tries to arrest you then please email me and I will come to get you out of jail. You can send the email to kasaharabail@gmail.com
I hope you enjoy the book,
have a great life
Ben.

5. You will go on to eat meals, go on dates, do sex and general live.
6. I will gradually become more and more wealthy until I become so wealthy from this scheme of giving away free books that I stop the scheme of giving away free books.”
