Bloated Toe Publishing of Peru, New York, is pleased to announce the release of a new nonfiction title, Escape from Dannemora: 170 Years of Escapes, Tortures, and Infamous Inmates at New York’s Most Notorious Prison (311 pp, $24) by award-winning author Lawrence P. Gooley. The book chronicles not only the escape of Richard Matt and David Sweat in 2015, but more than 40 great escapes from Dannemora, the history of tortures employed at the prison, officer fatalities, riots, and profiles of more than 30 of Clinton Prison’s most famous, infamous, and unusual inmates.
The book is now available from Bloated Toe’s website, located at books.bloatedtoe.com, plus several Adirondack stores, Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza in Albany, and nearly 100 Kinney Drug locations in upstate New York and Vermont.
Gooley has authored twenty books on Adirondack history, including regional best-seller Terror in the Adirondacks: The True Story of Serial Killer Robert F. Garrow, and Oliver’s War: An Adirondack Rebel Battles the Rockefeller Fortune, which won the 2007 Adirondack Literary Award for Best Book of Nonfiction. He has been featured in Publishers Weekly, and for more than five years has authored a weekly column for the award-winning online magazine, Adirondack Almanack.
In 2012, the Adirondack Center for Writing cited Bloated Toe for “a great job publishing outstanding books by regional authors.” The company, located south of Plattsburgh, is operated by author/publisher Gooley and his wife, Jill C. Jones.
