NOUNS OF ASSEMBLAGE collects 60+ stories from the best authors in the small press community, all of the pieces inspired by different nouns of assemblage from the animal kingdom (i.e. a skulk of foxes, a murder of crow, et cetera). Stories include AN AMBUSH OF TIGERS by Kevin Sampsell, A BUSINESS OF FLIES by xTx, A PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS by Frank Hinton, A BUILDING OF ROOK by Matthew Simmons, A SPAN OF MULE by Andrew Borgstrom, A TOWER OF GIRAFFE by Peter Schwartz, A HIVE OF BEES by DJ Berndt, and over fifty other stories.

NOUNS OF ASSEMBLAGE is the first collection from HOUSEFIRE PUBLISHING, the company that Colleen Elizabeth Rowley and I started with friends Marika Haskins, Lindsay Allison Ruoff, and Robert Duncan Gray. Colleen and I created this stop-motion trailer using ink, paper, mannequin parts, taxidermied turkey legs, moss, et cetera.
