“A passionate meditation on art wrapped in a hilarious sendup of artistic pretentions.” – Kirkus [starred review]
NEW RELEASE
One drink.
And you can create an artistic masterpiece. Fame. Fortune. A legacy.
But shortly thereafter you may die.
Do you still drink? Maybe a sip.
Maybe a swish.
It’s just water, right?
A literary dramedy in the vein of Vonnegut, Nabokov, and Monty Python.
Check out what the readers are saying…
“DSH is a master of plot. This thing moves like a thriller. It is literally one of the best things I’ve read all year. Darkly funny… a howling success!”
Pinckney Benedict
Miracle Boy and Other Stories
“David Scott Hay has done a something incredible – an artful book about an arty subject that doesn’t drop into pretension. ‘Fountain’ is an affecting story about tough, interesting people who hold beauty up like Achilles’ shield against a very real, very bitter, and oddly funny world. A must for fans of sharp tongues and sharp writing.”
Darren Callahan
City of Human Remains, The White Airplane & Horror Academy: Two Plays
“A truly unique and imaginative combination between Alan Ball, Raymond Chandler, Kafka, Walter Mosley, Elmore Leonard and even three fingers of Mickey Spillane.”

DSH
Makes a mean old fashioned and the best ribs on the block. He’s originally from OKC and lost the tip of a finger in a chop saw incident in the Windy City on his way to the City of Angels.
He now lives in a valley between the ocean, the mountains, and the desert with his wife, son, dog, chickens and a dozen typewriters.
