Its streets were safe and clean, soul music filled the air, and every neighbor was black and proud, all thanks to their local protectors: the Super Pimps. Together, these urban revengers abandoned their previous careers as hustlers and hookers. Devoting themselves to the betterment of their brothers and sisters, the Super Pimps delivered justice with a strut, battling such villains as the Mo-Foe, Honkey Kong, Buffalo Soldier and their arch-nemesis, Darquefire, the self-appointed voice of the people with a penchant for violence and voodoo. But that all changed on one night in 1979... And the Super Pimps were no more. Now, almost thirty years later, the hood is a different place. Libraries and theaters have been replaced by liquor stores and porn shops. Brothers kill brothers. And the Super Pimps have faded into nothing more than a myth used to frighten ghetto children. But one man remembers the truth. Detective Jackson Maple still believes in his childhood heroes and sets out to renuite the Super Pimps, just as a familiar evil returns to the hood after so many years... For, in times of great peril, there is only one thing to do: Dial "P" For Pimp!

What if everything you love abandoned you? Born From Ashes is a modern-day, urban story about love, loss, and redemption. When Miles Burns, a twenty-five year old, uninspired writer, loses his girlfriend, place of residence, bookstore job, and best friend, he accepts an unusual employment offer from a Heidi Fleissesque hustler named Antoinette. On his dark-humored journey toward redemption, Miles finds inspiration to finish his novel, rediscovers love in a girl named Alaska, and works as an unconventional escort named Hefner. Before unknowingly befriending a successful literary agent, Miles encounters a variety of tragically amusing clients who embody the notion that not all is what it appears to be. Like Kemble Scott’s SoMa, Born From Ashes is a fast-paced tour around the streets of San Francisco with hipster, west coast characters, possibly long-distant cousins to Arthur Nersesian’s The Fuck-up and Chinese Takeout cast of denizens. Born From Ashes is for anyone who has ever asked the question, “Why is this happening to me?” To find out more about Vincent York & Born from Ashes, visit him on MySpace Issue 18 of Neon features the work of Sarah Hilary, Colin James, JC Miller, Cathal O' Connell, Nick Orf, Elizabeth Eslami, Lida Broadhurst, and Rhian Waller, as well an interview with Elizabeth Eslami about her story "Mata Hormigas".
