When Keagan discovers an insidious presence in his building he joins anarchists and soccer moms alike in their quest to get out of l.A.-Before it's too late...Welcome to Spring Street asks for your empathy, and in return, offers a call to rebellion.Praise for Welcome to Spring Street: "Brandon takes us into an alternative version of our own world with the confidence and resolve of a well-worn psychic-voyager. Multi-layered, multi-stylized, and featuring a wild and diverse cast, Welcome to Spring Street is a spark of hopeful art against authority and those who abuse power. Read this wisely!"- Jordan A. Rothacker, author of Gristle: weird tales and the forthcoming, The Death of the Cyborg Oracle"William M. Brandon III has a vision that cuts to the core of where we are now and shines a light on the forces of the underground. Moving from downtown Los Angeles's dive bars to the memory of Occupy encampments and beyond, Welcome to Spring Street is a pulsing ride through corruption, insurgency, and, ultimately, hope."- Saskia Vogel, author of Permission"Welcome to Spring Street is a portrait of a Los Angeles that once seemed fictional, but becomes less so every time I read it. Brandon's ensemble cast foretells a brutal future, one that increasingly feels like it is arriving eerily close to Spring Street's schedule. Is there a way out? Is there a safe place? Spring Street has no easy answers, only the cold comfort of its Noir world that lingers even after you put the book down."- Scott Gilbertson, WIRED"If Bukowski wrote about anarchists, dissidents, and reactionaries, the result would be Welcome to Spring Street. A prescient and delightfully discombobulating take on the American police state."- Jim Ruland, author of DO WHAT YOU WANT: The Story of Bad Religion
