Looking forward for people to have a chance to read this bad mf. Four years or writing, rewriting and editing and 30 years of living are going into this beast. club did a review and gave it . Though, as much as it draws on my experiences and reality, I wouldn't call it a memoir. Not totally. Seriously, mans would be in prison if it was.

Don't hesitate to ask any questions and holler to find out how any can cop one for a quality and honest .

Becoming Buddha drops on July 21!
Pre-order for the e-book is available on Amazon.

A sample of the review from Online Book Club (https://forums.onlinebookclub.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=144212)

"Voiced from the first and third-person perspective in a humorous and metaphoric tone, Becoming Buddha by Corey Croft is a mind-blowing memoir. The writing style is impeccable."

Check out the rest of the review. More to come!

"How the hell do I plan on surviving this impending apocalypse with an insatiable drive to gorge and inhale my way through all the survival supplies? An ex boyfriend once told me: “when I date someone, I try to imagine what they’d be like in an apocalypse. It’s always a deal-breaker if I think they’d slow me down or get me killed.” -
Powerful snippet from one of our readers. Incredible talent being displayed with this piece. We highly encourage everyone to head over to the website to give it a read. The link will be in the bio.

Thanks Homie

I’ve been meaning to write about The Furies by Corey Croft for ages. It’s one of the projects I’m the most proud of having worked on and is very close to my heart. And now that we’re all stuck at home in quarantine, I have the perfect opportunity to write about it.

We wanted to share our second piece from our submission exercise. This is from Alsina Merry. Thanks for writing in, we really appreciate it over here. We'll just be including the introduction to this piece. The rest of it will be posted up on the website.
"I want to die

He says it feels wrong
All he can think about is that I'm not Victoria
I can't be her and I'll never be her

Carcass roaming around thin black ice
The sweet memories of the old
They comfort me in death more than anybody alive -"

We wanted to share a poem by Adam Fougere() that we felt was quite powerful. This paints a picture that hits home for many in a time like this.
"Oh, how the fiend twists, he grits his teeth.
Oh, sweet shadow of mine, I hear silence.
F**k this; pain without pain.
Oh, merciful mechanism, why don’t you -‘*//"

The city of Fury is a mother that eats its young. It is a working class melting-pot found at the end of the line on the Quad-City Express. It is a place with where the predators are equal to the number of those preyed upon.Living in the city is tough, and growing up there is even harder. Cava, Lu...

So, I been reading a lot of things and people seem pretty confused, depressed, bored, confused, scared, indifferent, confused and anything in between. If you don't know me well, I have a little bit of a hot head (effing Irish) and used to have a hard the managing my feels. Writing has been one of, if not the biggest, thing that has ever happened to me and gives me an outlet to pause, reflect.
I want to offer a platform for anyone to write a story, poem, stream of consciousness, whatever and send it over to us. 500 words max, whatever you want, I'm that kind of papa. It can be art of any kind, music, painting, diorama. It can be anonymous or you can include your name. I'm hoping the exercise can help people to understand how their feeling on their own. I hope that everyone can turn something dark into something light (or darker). I hope that I can give cats something to do. Writing is therapy for moi, cheaper than a shrink and melts the days away. Give it a try, it can be about anything. Link in the bio of course. - Papa Croft & Young Boy Al
