One foggy day in San Francisco brings together bloody ghosts, a dandyish thug, capricious cops, a suicidal punk rocker, a hyperliterate slumlord, and a sweet old lady sent by God to hand out cash from a hijacked armored car. In Fogtown, Peter Plate uses a loving hand to carve his characters out of hallucination, perversity, and tenacity. Plate's noir sensibility gives him special fluency with the weary souls of urban America's down and out; Fogtown describes a new age unmistakably built on the twentieth century of Nelson Algren and Charles Bukowski.

It's Cristina Hawkins's thirtieth birthday, and the aging stripper has just spent her special night giving another local scumbag a lap dance in the champagne room at the place she works. And when she gets roughed up by her customer yet again, something seems to change in Cristina, and along with an ever-changing port city of Clearwater-a rough and wild place where anything seems to go and the rich call all the shots-nobody's ready for the scourge on the city that seems to first spread at the very place Cristina works at: Good Kitty Strip Club. And within the midnight streets of Clearwater, a serial killer is also rumored to be causing havoc on a busy population, although nobody really seems to be doing anything about it. Five years before, the bitter memory of a great flood that swept through the city has kept Clearwater in a state of forgetfulness and quiet despair of what they fear may be coming from lands far away, and from sinister figures who seem to appear from ages ago-and also from a present time where masked vigilantes, biker gangs with sawed-off shotguns, street poets, famous singers, and corrupt politicians all clutch their hands around the throat of a city on the brink of destruction.

"An erotic graphic novel that pushes all the right buttons, Cheat(er) Code is a hilarious, sexy, and surprisingly tender story about navigating heartbreak and rediscovering your own confidence. Kennedy and his boyfriend Seth have been together six years, and honestly, it's pretty comfortable. That is, until the couple gets into a huge, potentially relationship-changing fight. Kennedy turns to his trusty video games to distract himself, but when a random power surge hits, he's transported inside his video game library. Dazed and incredulous about his digital predicament, Ken finds himself seduced by a silver daddy, rutting with a couple of barbarians from an epic fantasy, and sorting through a lot of confusing feelings about his favorite anthropomorphic cheetah character. Kennedy will need to confront his biggest fears to get back to reality before the game glitches him out of existence, but sometimes, the unexpected (and unexpectedly sexy) is just what you need to hit the reset button."

The narrator of Police and Thieves, Doojie, is a small-time dealer who lives in a garage behind a laundromat with his two partners in crime. They sell dope of questionable quality at reasonable prices. But when one night Doojie sees a renegade cop shoot an unarmed Mexican, he knows that things are about to change. Soon he and his buddies are running for their lives. Fast, ferocious, gritty, and bleak, Police and Thieves is contemporary noir at its best, and one of the most ambitious entries in the Peter Plate canon.
