ReviewsPraise for Narcisa: Our Lady of Ashes "Jonathan Shaw is the next Bukowski." -- Rolling Stone "A darkly hilarious litany of doomed love, drug addiction, compulsive sex and mutual enslavement..." -- VICE "The grunge of Bukowski [and] the teeth-grinding momentum of the Beats." -- Kirkus Reviews "Nightmarish talent . . . wedged between outlaw and genius . . . [with] serious street cred." -- New York Press "Shaw's work ranks with the best." --Johnny Depp "Jonathan Shaw is the great nightmare anti-hero of the new age." --Iggy Pop "Is he bitter? Oh, just a tad." --R. Crumb "Jonathan Shaw's writing is one hell of a wild ride through the bizarre netherworld of his own damaged consciousness." --Jim Jarmusch "Fearless storytelling." --Marilyn Manson "Written in blood, his writing takes us places most people never come back from." --Jerry Stahl "Jonathan Shaw's passionate descriptions of the surreal, paranoid jungle he inhabits capture the haunting poetry of his soul.'' --Hubert Selby, Jr. "To immerse ourselves in this bare-bones attitude is what a novel is supposed to do for the reader. Lucky us.'' --Debbie Harry Praise for Scab Vendor "Impossibly transportive. Scab Vendor smelled like rum, tobacco, and malaria. And I read it on a computer. A must read." --Jeff Johnson, author of Tattoo Machine: Tall Tales, True Stories, and My Life in Ink , Knottspeed (Turner Publishing, February 2017), Everything Under the Moon (Soft Skull Press, September, 2016), and Lucky Supreme (Skyhorse Publishing, 2016)., "Impossibly transportive.

Series Volume Number1
SynopsisJonathan Shaw's Scab Vendor: Confessions of a Tattoo Artist is a surreal, multi-generational roller coaster ride through the underbelly of modern culture, charting the course of a life measured by extremes, and all the people, places, and events that shaped that life into a survivor's tale of epic proportions. In its pages, Shaw takes the reader deep, not only into the recesses of his extraordinary mind and adventures, but also into the strange and magical process of memoir-writing itself. If truth is indeed stranger than fiction, then, as Shaw's friend and literary mentor Charles Bukowski once told him, much of this book would have to be lived before it could be written. In that sense, Scab Vendor: Confessions of a Tattoo Artist is much more than a fascinating chronicle of a popular outlaw artist's creative evolution. It is a multicolored, cinematic, modern-day Odyssey, written in blood, ink, and tears--a kaleidoscopic, visionary roadmap to the journey of the human soul., Jonathan Shaw's Scab Vendor: Confessions of a Tattoo Artist is a surreal, multi-generational roller coaster ride through the underbelly of modern culture, charting the course of a life measured by extremes, and all the people, places, and events that shaped that life into a survivor's tale of epic proportions.
