Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In the first installment of Joshua Mohr's Viking Punk saga, a West Oakland musician acquires a new name and new calling. Chasing down a gang of thieves, Saint the Terrifying turns a gritty urban detective story into the stuff of legend.  Saint's an ex-con still coming to terms with his origin story.  Raised in the wilds of Norway by an artisan father famed for his glass-blown birds, Saint trained daily in ancient Norse martial arts with a bear as his sparring partner. One day, his father makes a critical mistake, forcing Saint to leave his home forever, and move to San Francisco.  Years later and fresh out of prison, Saint finds himself immersed in the Oakland punk music scene. On stage, he's struggling to find his identity as a guitar player in a mediocre band. Off stage, his uniquely Norse skillset suddenly turns Saint into a one-eyed punk gumshoe after sinister thieves start targeting local bands' gear. But it is only when Saint meets Trick Wilma, the powerhouse lead singer of another (better) band, that he begins to see the glimmer of salvation in her eyes.  Propelled by a broken Baroque of punk language, Saint the Terrifying examines tensions between community and individual identity, social activism and vigilantism, while taking the reader on a roller coaster ride of hard-boiled twists and hardcore music. Saint is the badass protagonist that answers the question: What if Johnny Rotten had a baby with The Rock.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. "Joshua Mohr's Viking Punk trilogy is a feral, genre-bending fever dream where Norse mythology collides with the grit of Oakland's underworld punk scene. channeling mosh-pit chaos with poetic precision. Writing doesn't get more original." --Bill Keenan, Airmail Volume #2 of Joshua Mohr's VIKING PUNK SAGA It's a few weeks after Saint and Trick Wilma defeated Wes than Zero, the nihilistic punk criminal terrorizing the Oakland warehouse scene. Now officially a member of Trick's band All the Fuss, Saint is ready to live his best life, and move on from the demons of his past. The only problem is the demons have other plans. On the way to the next show, the band is intercepted by a nasty cartel that insists Saint has a debt to settle-one that will eventually lead to a riverboat in China. In The Wolf Want Answers, Mohr raises the stakes for our one eyed punk rock anti-hero, picking up where he left off in his wise-cracking critique of rampant gentrification, and introducing us to a new character, Mad Cassidy - a love interest from the past who presents the only threat to Saint's future with Trick.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. "Raw-edged and whippet-thin,Sirens swings from tales of bawdy addiction to charged moments of a father struggling to stay clean. Mohr's prose is lean and scrappy--a featherweight boxer that packs a punch." --Los Angeles TimesWith vulnerability, grit, and hard-won humor, acclaimed novelist Joshua Mohr returns with his first book-length work of non-fiction, a raw and big-hearted chronicle of substance abuse, relapse, and family compassion. Sirens provides a harrowing and complicated account of Mohr's years of substance abuse and culpability. Employing the characterization and chimerical prose for which he has been lauded, Mohr leaves no rock from his sordid past un-turned, from his childhood swilling fuzzy navels as a latch-key kid, through the black-outs and fist-fights, his first failed marriage to his path to sobriety, through the birth of his daughter and the three strokes he suffers in his thirties that reveal he has a literalhole in his heart. Sirens is a spectacularly moving tome of honesty and emotion from one of our most gifted contemporary writers. "Sirens is one of those books you open thinking to check out a few pages, only to find yourself putting everything else on hold so you don't have to put it down. It's that good." --Los Angeles Review of Books. …

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. The intimate, gorgeous, garish confessions of Joshua Mohr--writer, father, alcoholic, addict Her teeth marks in the wood are some of my favorite things. Every now and again she rips the pick out of my hand and tosses it inside the guitar . . . I hold it over my head, hole down, shaking it back and forth, the pick rattling around in there. And as it ricochets from side to side, I always think about pills. Maybe the pick has turned into oxy. Or Norco, codeine, Demerol. Maybe it's a pill and when it falls out I can gobble it up. After years of hard-won sobriety, while rebuilding a life with his wife and young daughter, thirty-five-year-old Joshua Mohr suffers a stroke--his third, it turns out-- which uncovers a heart condition requiring surgery. Which requires fentanyl, one of his myriad drugs of choice. This forced "freelapse" should fix his heart, but what will it do to his sobriety? And what if it doesn't work? Told in stunning, surreal, time-hopping vignettes, Model Citizen is a raw, revealing portrait of an addict. Mohr shines a harsh spotlight into all corners of his life, throwing the wild joys, tragedies, embarrassments, and adventures of his past into bold relief. Pulsing with humanity and humor, revealing the immediacy of an addict climbing out of the murky pit of his past, Model Citizen is a darkly beautiful, incisive confession. …
