My book, Mastodon Farm is out. It was released on Tuesday through Atlatl Press. I should have blogged about it on Monday night, but I usually lack the motivation to maintain a blog because, after a while, it feels like a job and I don't like that it feels like a job and I'm not sure people are actually reading anything I am writing, so I stop. But then I always come back, like right now.

Noah Cicero talks about Mastodon Farm and says:

It's like watching TV for 12 hours on a Saturday. 

And Ken Sparling says:

I'd rank this book up there with Fabulous Nobodies and I Pass Like Night, both books that I'll never forget the experience of reading.

And Nick Antosca says:

You feel delirious reading Mastodon Farm. You freak out a little. You change genders. You listen to Tangerine Dream. You drive a Ferrari. You have a good time. You read it again. You read it again. 

And Professor D. Harlan Wilson says:

In his impressive debut novel, Mike Kleine fingers the asterisk of pop culture by turns absurd, matted, outré-familiar. Mastodon Farm lays bare the smooth fiction of mediatized reality.

And Bradley Sands says:

Mastodon Farm is about you. You are wealthy and only associate with famous people. Mike Kleine has written your life. His language is stripped down, your story is dense... [Think] Samuel Beckett, Tao Lin, Bret Easton Ellis. 

And Beach Sloth wrote a review and said:

Mastodon Farm is one of the most realistic, painstaking portrayals of an obsessive knack for self-definition through culture.

And CV Hunt says:

[It's like] a celebrity edition of the Sims, only better.

And Sam Pink says:

It's well written... Seriously feel like killing myself while thinking of/writing blurbs.

This is my first book and I like it. I hope you have time to read it and I hope you enjoy it if you decide to read it. Thank you.
