About this ebook
The smartest decision Daniel Long ever made was to take a hit out on his own life.
Too scared to kill himself but also too scared to live, he is a sad, pathetic man; a miserable martyr of depression. A year after he was dumped by his self-centered alcoholic girlfriend, he still wallows in the hole she left behind. And, except for the cubicle that he spends forty hours a week in, Daniel rarely leaves the bare white walls that make up his apartment. Trapped in his self-made ennui, his only escape is to hire a hitman.
But when one of his few friends kills herself Daniel realizes the error of his ways. He tries to cancel the hit but in the process he offends his contracted killer. Now his impending death is personal and his life is about to get more exciting than he ever could have imagined.
Suicide in Tiny Increments is dark and edgy; it pushes the limits of literary fiction. With its delicious black humor, this tragically funny novel is set to be the satire of the summer.
Riya Anne Polcastro
Armed with a useless liberal arts degree, Riya Anne Polcastro is a student of human behavior and a conduit for raw words. Maybe it is because she learned to read and write in her second language before she learned to do the same in her first. Maybe it is because she was raised a missionary’s daughter at the same time that she was taught to question everything. Maybe there are a whole lot of reasons. Either way, her fascination with mental illness and human interaction is weaved into fiction with a language that is at times caressed and loved, at others beaten into submission. Polcastro aims to join the ranks of great Oregon writers like Ken Kesey and Chuck Palahniuk. Readers have compared her not only to her idols but also to Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson, and Jonathan Safran Foer. She is the author of such dark transgressive novels as Jane., Suicide in Tiny Increments, the upcoming Dentata (or The Novel Formerly Known as Teeth), as well as the chapbook The Truth about Cows, and a narrative non-fiction/memoir entitled Death by Gluten: How Undiagnosed Celiac Almost Cost Me My Life. Her writing also appears in The Anti-Austerity Anthology as well as numerous publications.
