BUT Wait! There’s MORE! All pre-orders also will receive an exclusive chapbook: The Brothers Squimbop on the Campaign Trail
The Brothers Squimbop are everywhere—and nowhere.
Leaping across time, slipping between realities, and reshaping history in their wake, the enigmatic duo weaves a saga as bizarre as it is relentless. Sometimes slapstick comedians, sometimes ruthless tricksters, sometimes reluctant prophets, the Brothers shift identities, betray and resurrect each other, and leave a trail of chaos in their pursuit of an impossible mission: to bring about the Golden Age—over and over again.
Set in a world that thrives on spectacle, where mountain retreats and flickering cinemas hold the echoes of history, The Squimbop Condition is a wild, mind-bending journey through myth, madness, and the nature of storytelling itself.

PRAISE FOR ‘Drifter’
One of the Southwest Reviews’10 Must-Read Books of 2021
Rice’s fiction touches on the strange, phantasmagorical, and horrific, but juxtaposes those elements with headier explorations of narratives and the self; it’s like little else out there. — Vol. 1 Brooklyn
Like peering through a slit at some brilliant, brutal new world. — Kimberly King
A grotesque spectacle of unreality. — Matthew Baker
Somewhere between Bradbury and Ligotti, Rice folds centuries of Americana into a space unstuck from time. — B.R. Yeager
