New poetry from the discomfort zone!

Eric Ahrens' new poetry edition "Entzündung in der Komfortzone" fresh from the printer's!

On December 9, we are going to release a collection of short stories for all Lovecraft afficionados:  
384 pages of fantastic cosmic horror by Alexander Blumtritt and Philipp Knespel, not only for Cthulhu geeks – in an awesome cardboard hardcover with full color illustrations throughout by Arno Hagenunger!

BHN Books goes Kreuzberg
In time for the release of "Die großen Fressen des kleinen Mannes" by Robert Klages on Juli 1st, we will host a little celebratory reading. Of course this will be an extremely secretive and exclusive affair. If you're not familiar with the intricately coded location, you can ask for the venue's address by email of through our social media channels.
 
Release reading on 1 July 2022
 
And there's another chance to catch Robert Klages even before that, on June 24, 25 AND 26, when he will grant you insights into his work three evenings in a row. This event, organized by his queer-feministic collective "dickc.Lit", is part of the annual cultural festival "48h Neukölln" and takes place at Altes Finanzamt, Schönstedtstr. 7, 12043 Berlin.

BHN Books 014: Welcome, Robert Klages!
Publishing is suffering. Especially in downtown Berlin hipster coffeeshops, where apparently it's still BYOB (bring your own booze). Maybe it's just part of the retro 50s bullshit chic or something. Whatever ... look, there's a book!
 
BHN Books 014
 
What we've got here is the debut by Robert Klages. Inside: Short stories about pigs, nazis and philosophers (among others). From laugh-out-loud funny to slightly profound food for thought – you can expect a vast spectrum of literary entertainment.  
And you can expect it soon: "Die großen Fressen des kleinen Mannes" will be released on July 1st!

ERIC AHRENS: "SPLITTER AUS DER UNTERSCHICHT"

BHN Books 012 – out now!

Not just another volume of poems but rather a decade's journal: notes, observations, snapshots, leftovers, outbursts, and sometimes indeed a little poetry.
 
You'll find all this and more between these splinters, collected from 2010 to 2020 in various mental states. Too entertaining to rot away on social networks, too heavy to keep carrying around, this weight is now dropped on you from all angles. Eric Ahrens paints a cheerfully misanthropic picture of a decade stuck inside the garbage disposal of everyday life.
 
Order here!

NEW: CASABLANCA – Eine Zeitreise

Out now!

We've got some highbrow Christmas presents in stock again this year. Pretend you're wasting your time on other things but Netflix in front of your relatives and present them with 500 German pages of politically relatively correct historizing like a true smart-ass!
 
>> Der Sklavenhandel, der westliche Kapitalismus und die kolonialen Eroberungen, die Spannungen zwischen den europäischen Weltmächten vor und zwischen den Weltkriegen, der Zionismus und die Staatsgründung Israels, der arabische Nationalismus und die Dekolonisierung, der Panarabismus, der Sechstagekrieg, die Palestinenserfrage und der Exodus der marokkanischen Juden, der aufkommende Islamismus schließlich – alles hängt mit allem zusammen!
 
Didier Hinz erklärt es euch sanft in Form einer autobiografischen Erzählung aus dem französischen Protektorat seiner Jugend: Marokko. <<

BHN VIDEO INTERVIEW

If you're a German speaker and enjoy rambling "behind-the-scenes" interviews with sketchy industry types you'd barely trust selling stolen loosies, good old Wahrschauer magazine has got you covered!
 
>> Pandemie, Konzerte, Clubs, Solidarität und Selbsthilfe. Der Berliner BLEEDING HEART NIHILIST Labelboss und Verleger Alex gewährt dem WAHRSCHAUER ein Exklusivinterview, in dem er aus seinem langjährigen Erfahrungsschatz als Leistungsträger der Independent-Kultur-Szene von interessanten Details berichtet und dazu wissenswerte Tipps gibt. 
In der urban-kulturhistorischen Kulisse im Umfeld des legendären Grips-Theaters geht es heute um Streaming, Politik, Unterstützung der Kulturschaffenden und Förderung von (Sub-)Kultur in Berlin und Deutschland überhaupt. Dabei verschafft Alex uns Einblicke in die Probleme der Kunst-, Literatur- und Musik-Szene am Beispiel der Bundeshauptstadt und benennt Probleme auch unabhängig von der aktuellen Corona-Situation. Die Erkenntnisse sind sicherlich auf andere Großstädte in Deutschland übertragbar. <<
