FOR CINDERELLA
Reality
Check Papers Volume II
Finally! The long-dreaded sequel to Fear
No Art - Observations on the Death of the American Century
, but this time enhanced with head-bloating, body-inflating,
testicle-shrinking anabolic steroids!
Published
by Amazon.com's Booksurge
Division, Midnight For Cinderella is a comprehensive
and dizzying collection of jc’s best columns, essays, letters,
e-mails, and in-depth magazine and newspaper pieces from the first
five action-packed years of the new century. This unique compendium
of expletive-laced tirades, warped insights, and stirring tributes
is fused with provocative and stunning artwork from revolutionary
artist, Denise
Mihalik, and boasts a rousing foreword by internationally
infamous singer/songwriter Dan
Bern.
Included
with the most controversial, infuriating, outlandish, and irreverant
musings from the Reality Check News & Information Desk - enjoyed
by readers the world over for the past half-decade - are brand
new essays and previously unpublished gems from the twisted mind
of ornery satirist, James Campion. Newcomers to the furiously
hilarious and oft-times poignant jc rants will revel in the wide
variety of subjects skewered, lampooned, and viscously dissected.
Rabid fans and loyal Check
Group Members will also enjoy having all of their most
cherished Reality Check blather available in one neat package,
with the added bonus of the odd snippet of new wisdom thrown in.
It
is also important to note that some of the more painful passages,
previously edited for publishing, appear here in their disgusting
entirety, securing the permanent record in the jc pantheon. Also
included are the hard-to-find "Resurrections In Babes Clothing",
previously only available in MWE
Publishing's "In Our Own Words Vol. 4" collection,
and the much-requested "Free Speech Must Stop", rightfully
rejected by our favorite lady-columnist Rita
J. King's popular and beloved Ruminations
on America Project blog.
Here it is,
all in one volume, the Reality Check take on two hotly debated
presidential elections, another in a well-received series of Iraq
Wars, and, of course, the horrors and fallout of 9/11, joined
merrily together with a randy host of celebrity mocking, media
scorn, religious contempt, and general disrespect for all that
is sacred. What has been called "the most erratic of all
editorial homes" by the YAHOO! syndicated column listings,
now finds a final resting place in Midnight For Cinderella.
Presented in sections by subject: Philosophy, Religion, Survival,
Politics, 2000 Presidential Campaign & Election, 9/11/01,
Fallout, War In Iraq, 2004 Presidential Campaign & Election,
Pop Goes Culture, Sports, and Tribute, Midnight For Cinderella
is a complete journalistic package of reporting, cavorting, tales
out of school, and borderline slanderous fun. Many lawyers, civil
unions, and dedicated protest groups have helped in bringing these
stories, opinions, and observations to fruition. The least you
can do is order it, then read it, and then throw up - and not
necessarily in that order. (Sometimes it helps to regurgitate
prior to reading Campion)

Praise for FEAR NO ART (Volume
I):
"Campion
remains mysterious to even the people who give him the space to
rage. And make no mistake about it, Fear No Art rages.
In the bent tradition of H.L. Mencken and Hunter S. Thompson,
Campion’s true wit is in his blantant disregard for everything
worth disregarding."
- Seth Cales, Freelance Reviewer
"fear
no art
is a societal magnifying glass that uses the powerful literary
rays of Campion’s counter-culture thoughts to singe the endless
line of sheep-like ants that in his opinion define American popular
culture. Campion’s writing could certainly snap the synapses of
tame minds but might allow for serious contemplation."
- Brad King, North County News
"No
one is sacred, no punches are pulled."
- Chris Uhl, Aquarian Weekly
"James
Campion keeps amazing me. He is one of the few demented souls
our industry has produced."
- Dan Davis, Genesis
"It's
not often that a relativly unknown columnist from a rock n' roll
weekly begins to take hold of the radical press, dubbing himself
a "rogue journalist" and invitingly begs for comparisons to H.L.
Mencken or Hunter Thompson. And it is even more rare that the
same man can pull it off with painful consistency. James Campion,
if not already a thorn in the side of all that is not sacred,
wants you to believe all this. And anyone who has taken notice
has yet to deny him that."
- Darren Ecstein, The Underground Press Quarterly
"Fear
No Art is spurious, barbed, funny, and well reasoned."
- Elisa Flynn, Westchester Arts Weekly
