DENNIS COOPER'S BLOG HACKED:
MESSAGE FROM DC:
'On last Friday afternoon Paris time my blog was hacked. People trying to access the blog are currently being hijacked to a sex/spyware site. I don't know how serious the damage is because my account at blogger doesn't seem to exist at the moment. As of this writing, blogger.com has not responded to my requests for a diagnosis and report. I'm hoping against hope that the blog is intact and I'll be able to continue as soon as possible. Chances are that the blog has been destroyed. As soon as I know what the situation is, my blog will return. I don't know whether it will be located at the old address or at a new one, or whether it will have its history or not. Until this is sorted out, one of my blog's community has set up a temporary meeting place at the address below. I'll be posting updates and news there. As I stupidly never backed up my blog, this situation is potentially devastating to me, but I will continue as best I can. Thanks for your patience and support.'

THE JANUARY 2006 NEWS
DENNIS CD/BOOK: The long-awaited limited-edition CD/Book set 'Dennis' has just been released and is available to buy from here.
'DENNIS' is a collaborative, limited-edition, Story-Booklet & CD. Each booklet and CD is packaged in a hand-numbered, beautifully designed 'Arigato Pak', with red letterpress and black offset printing.
Dennis Cooper's original short story The Ash Gray Proclamation (titled after the Robert Pollard song of the same name) was passed around to a variety of bands and musicians - those Cooper loved or those that were already fans of his work. Four years in the making, 'DENNIS' showcases fourteen songs by musicians who have been inspired by the author and, in many instances, directly influenced by the accompanying story.
