1. Sucked, Fucked and Tattooed in Melbourne
It’s time for Melbourne to witness the relaunch the out of print and much requested first novella from Kami, S.F.&T* (Sucked Fucked and Tattooed) – THE Australian punk-rock novella – now published together with his second novella Bunk Beds & Chilli Vodka.
And to spice it up Hop Dac and Shane Jesse Christmass (both ‘characters’ in Bunk Beds & Chilli Vodka) will be reading small extracts from when they first ‘met’ Paroxysm before launching into their own original work. Plus a short story reading from Paroxysm main-stay Kristy Love with more TBA.
And of course the compulsory BEER and munchies!
This will also be Melbourne’s first chance to get hold of the new raft of Paroxysm Press merchandise (although with the stock we have to lug over supplies will be limited)

Adelaide
Some very special reasons to get down there and spend some cash:
First off – anyone who buys two Paroxysm books will receive FREE a Paroxysm stubbie holder (worth $10).
Secondly – this will be only the second Adelaide appearance for the new Paroxysm merch. (see below)
And third – Lisa Dempster from the brilliant Melbourne publisher Vignette Press will be in town – and this will be your first chance in Adelaide to get hold of their new anthology – Death Mook – which features a huge line-up including our own Paroxysm Press publisher, Daniel Watson.
“The Adelaide Zine and DIY Fair has been run annually since 2005, beginning as an independent event before attracting attention and support from the Fringe festival in 2006. Last year’s event featured sixty zine and independent publishers, ranging from members of the Unley City young writers’ group, long standing punk fanzine writers, local poets and artists, members of the Magdalene Community Centre and a vast array of young and emerging writers who have utilised zine publishing as the cheapest and easiest way to produce their work. The Fringe estimated around 1000 visitors over the course of the day.”
3. Paroxysm Press t-shirts, beanies & stubbie holders
Over the years the various Paroxysm Press t-shirts have been very popular and in response to the demand from all you good people we have a new design just released. The latest shirt is black (of course) with ‘paroxysm’ written across the front in the Impact font we use. The back features the amazing poem Jesus Was Wrong from Kelly-Lee Hickey (as appeared in Ten Years of Things that Didn’t Kill Us). $20.
The previously very rare Paroxysm Press stubbie holders (featuring our logo) are also now available to the general public. $10.
And brand new (and of a very high production quality – thanks to our new merch guys) Paroxysm Press beanies! A very modern style of black beanie featuring our logo. These ones really look kick arse! $20.
We’re still working out the logistics re: whether they will be offered for sale on the website or not but if you’re interested send us an email and we’ll let you know how we’re going.
