Love Is a Dog From Hell by Maggie Estep

"Emotional Idiocy is obviously a theme close to my heart since I seem to use the phrase in novels and CDs alike. My friend and mentor of sorts, Andrew Vachss, upon hearing me read a rendition of this poem, stated that it ought to be the theme song for borderline personality disorder. He's right."
— Maggie Estep, from the liner notes of Love Is a Dog From Hell

Magge EstepMaggie Estep is a writer living in New York City. She grew up moving all over the place with her eccentric parents, then moved to New York at age 17 and began a succession of menial jobs until, to her shock, she began to earn a living reading poems, sometimes solo, sometimes with musical accompaniment.

She has published one novel, "Diary of an Emotional Idiot," and two CDs, "No More Mr. Nice Girl" on Imago Records (1994), and the new "Love Is A Dog From Hell" on Mouth Almighty / Mercury Records (1997).

Now, at age 33, she wants to be a cantankerous novelist and roam the country giving readings from the novel she is currently working on, "Pivot of the Universe," a sort of fairy tale involving brain surgery, lust and God. She has also started her third book, a noir detective novel called "Stalk Me." Additionally, she continues to write songs about some of her favorite topics: Carnivals, love, surgery, death, birth and existential confusion; she is also making a series of charcoal sketches to illustrate some of the more graphic points of her novels. She also has her own website so check it out!
