Eight-Stone Press Publishes SMILE, HON Sex Issue; Release Party Tonight!

BALTIMORE, Md. - Get between the sheets with Atomic Books and local imprint Eight-Stone Press (ESP) in celebration of the publication of the adults-only Smile, Hon, You're in Flagrante! with a release party from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. tonight, Friday, February 19, 2010, at Atomic Books, 3620 Falls Road, in Baltimore's Hampden section.

Enjoy refreshments while mingling with depraved contributors (including Rafael Alvarez, William P. Tandy, Caryn Coyle, Fernando Quijano III, Timmy Reed and more), who will regale the listening audience with tales of their Mobtown-inspired sex-ploits. And while you’re at it, pick up a copy of the issue while browsing Baltimore’s original independent, alternative bookstore! Moreover, in the spirit of things, this event will also be an Atomic Swingers mixer; Atomic Swingers is a Facebook group of Atomic Books friends/fans who are single. So if you're not single, be sure to tell your single friends. [NOTE: This event was postponed from the original date of February 11.]

Bondage, embarrassment and accident-induced impotence are but a handful of the sexual situations that arise in Smile, Hon, You’re in Flagrante!, the latest "theme" issue in the award-winning Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore! series. In this issue, JENNA STROKER gives the neighbors a show; RAFAEL ALVAREZ checks into Room 829; ANAL ROBERTS gets Hammerjacked; MISSY KATZ gives foot; and LOLITA HONEYBUSH enjoys a mid-coitus siesta, plus a whole lot more.

From the harbor to the hills, Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore! collects the tales of those on whom Mobtown has left her indelible mark. Polished, professional essays; barroom sermons delivered from the sanctity of a favorite stool; the poet's fleeting sentiment, captured in both word and snapshot – Smile, Hon offers a slice of Baltimore as told by Baltimore, presented with the time-honored DIY accessibility of a limited-run, handcrafted zine. A two-time Utne Independent Press Award nominee, Smile, Hon has also been dubbed "Best Zine" by Baltimore Magazine (2008) and Baltimore City Paper (2004). Previous theme issues have tackled such topics as rats, scars, crime, tattoos, transit and the supernatural.
