Logan Ryan Smith writes dark, imaginative fiction with a unique sense of humor and madness. His work appeals to fans of authors such as J.G.

The Sun My Destiny, his previous book, is a psychological sci-fi drama that uses the dystopian landscape of a massive garbage dump as the background for familial relationships and grave, internal struggles. His book previous to that, Y is for Fidelity, is a disturbingly comedic tale of friendship and self-discovery th ...more

My Eyes Are Black Holes by Logan Ryan Smith
"The author uses a minimal number of elements which he moves around like pieces on a chessboard. Each move planned well in advance, each piece guided by ever changing rules, the dark pieces soon lock the reader in an unexpected check mate."

Quotes by Logan Ryan Smith  (?)

“I step out of Bourbon Bandits onto the sidewalk of Geary Street and take my place among the zombies and psychopaths. How do I tell the difference? The psychopaths wear suits. The zombies have skin peeling off their faces and reek of rotting teeth and were likely the extras in a movie we were all in but forgot about.”
Logan Ryan Smith, Enjoy Me

“Fog is somewhere under the Golden Gate Bridge waiting to eat us all, but it’s staying there, invisible, for the time being, waiting for the right hour to cover and consume us.”
Logan Ryan Smith, Enjoy Me

“It felt good, the match sparking a small flame into existence, and that small flame igniting an all engrossing one. Like the big bang.”
Logan Ryan Smith, My Eyes Are Black Holes

Logan It's on life support. I only do issues of small town when I'm up to it, and that's not too often. Most issues are out of print. But you can find them in the sidebar of my blog: theredgummibear.blogspot.com. Otherwise, it can't be found anywhere else.

John Williams how does one find small town? is it still alive?
