Subbed In is pleased to announce we've signed a contract for a new full length book by Patrick Lenton, slated for release in late 2018.

Prepare to have your heart warmed, tickled, shattered, and put back together with sticky tape as ‘Uncle Hercules and Other Lies’ barrels through a collection of mirthful and tender micro-(non)fictions. Shortlisted for the Scribe Nonfiction Prize, Uncle Hercules and Other Lies details a series of small, incroyable fibs and bad life choices. Think Lydia Davis meets Arthur Bradford but on a chair lift; or John Waters meets Leslie Knope by a happenchance procured by a snake. Also, Skyrim Dog.
