***Editor''s Choice, NEW YORK TIMES *** A literary coup d''etat, that ponders "What would the White House be like if U.S. Presidents of the past were not restricted by the time-honored hallmarks and traditional behavior of the office, leaving them free to do whatever they wanted, anytime and anywhere?" THE FAKING OF THE PRESIDENT: Nineteen Stories of White House Noir pulls back the curtain on the “new norm” for America’s highest office, with a collection of bizarre new stories by a diverse group of renowned authors that take readers across the chasm of reality into an alternate universe—where Nixon takes a wacky psychedelic trip with Elvis Presley; where a time-traveling renegade targets members of the George Bush administration with disastrous results; where a spy seizes a sudden opportunity for power after Woodrow Wilson’s stroke. The stories are outlandish but—when it comes to the White House of today—no longer implausible.The line-up of award-winning authors includes Eric Beetner , Peter Carlaftes , Sarah M. Chen , Angel Luis Colón , S. A. Cosby , Nikki Dolson , Mary Anna Evans , Adam Lance Garcia , Danny Gardner , Alison Gaylin , Christopher Chambers , Kate Flora , Greg Herren , Gary Phillips , Alex Segura , Travis Richardson , S. J. Rozan , Abby Vandiver , and Erica Wright .In an era where the bar for what is acceptable has shifted beyond what the founding fathers ever imagined, THE FAKING OF THE PRESIDENT is a highly recommended unique creative act of resistance, and a must-have for fans of politics, noir, and speculative fiction.
