Art Farm

Art Richardson knows he can be a famous author.

All he needs is a little inspiration.

Learning of a secluded creative retreat, Art trades comfortable conformity and the distractions of modern society for a vast and mysterious farmland.

Here he and other aspiring (and rather eccentric) artists will leave their old lives behind and attempt to live together in a utopia of cows, campfires and absurdly delicious coffee.

But the idyllic surroundings may not be what they seem, and soon their artistic journey becomes a surreal nightmare that only gets stranger as the pages turn.

Luckily for Art, he still may just find the inspiration he's been looking for...

Art Farm is a dark comedy from Marc Dickerson about desperate dreamers, ritualistic slaughter, and energy poems. But mostly it's about how the point is not the point.



"A very smart and funny book...Clever writing and laugh out loud, dry wit...It is fantastical biographical, I am sure, but first and foremost it is sharp comedy drama. Dickerson has created a wonderful cast and some great dialogue."

- Matt McAvoy, author and Senior Editor, MJV Literary

"In this self-aware critique of the plight of the modern writer and artist, we are treated to...one character's struggle with the dilemma of self-expression...Injected with intriguing B-movie style...With a nostalgic appreciation for the eccentrics and weirdos omnipresent in the 'art scene' subculture..."

- L. S. Popovich, author of THE ARDEN
