Arise Press is excited to announce the publication of Bring a Gun to School Day, a novella by Darian Worden.

Bring a Gun to School Day tells the story of an individual finding strength and defeating his oppressors. The day after a major school shooting fills the news, seventeen-year-old Erik Shylding is harassed by people who claim he is just like the shooter. To express himself and mess with the system, he puts up posters in school that declare April 19 "Bring a Gun to School Day." Erik has a feeling that he won't get away with it.


As the title suggests, Bring a Gun to School Day does not avoid controversy. It batters down the establishment with perspectives you won't find in the newspapers.

You have never read a book like this!

April 28, 2008 - Bring a Gun to School Day Review Featured in The Libertarian Enterprise

"As a condemnation of the modern police state and nanny state, it succeeds brilliantly. Equally as important, it succeeds as a drama and a character study...This is an important debut work by a talented storyteller and social commentator."
- Jim Lesczynski, author of The Walton Street Tycoons
