Get In If You Want To Live
From bears hooked on sex outside the species, to hookers hooked on a neighbor’s bomb chili recipe, Jodzio shanghais readers in the course of only a few pages and sucks them into 19 different gonzo worlds. Each story is accompanied by a specially curated illustration by local and international artists.
“Get In If You Want to Live is full of genuine laughs for the LOL generation. It's fantastical whimsy meets potty mouth, gutter mind brilliance with some beautifully twisted artwork to accompany poignantly filthy stories."
--Kat George, Editor of Thought Catalog

If You Lived Here You'd Already Be Home
If You Lived Here You'd Already Be Home is a world that feels at once alien and strangely familiar. In these 21 brief, funny stories, Jodzio documents his characters disappointment, frustration, and longing for a home that seems forever out of reach.
"You may think you've read enough stories about penniless gay clowns who can't get over the loss of a dog, but—I assure you—you have not. John Jodzio is the best kind of modern fiction writer: a thematic traditionalist who feels totally new."
--Chuck Klosterman, Author of Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs
