Released occasionally, Grok is a collection of geeky writers pontificating on a selected topic. It's sorta like Wizard meets David Sedaris, or This American Life if the show was hosted by Patton Oswalt, or maybe the late Norman Mailer wearing big Buddy Holly glasses and watching Deep Space Nine reruns. Featuring the Alert Nerd crew and an array of special guests.

Alert Nerd Press is an independent boutique publishing house dedicated to bringing you fiction and commentary, centered on all things geeky. Our latest release is One Con Glory, the tale of one obsessive fangirl's all-consuming quest for a particularly precious action figure.

Born of an inspired suggestion by comic writing notable Warren Ellis comes - The Alert Nerdian. Each month we take highlights of Alert Nerd stories and posts, toss in some internet baubles, some in-jokes, and then present it to you in easy to print out and carry, broadside format. Which is a fancy, and slightly incorrect way of saying "8 1/2 by 11".
