Adrenaline (1985)
Jim’s first published book, two lovers on the run, and
a very compelling read. Originally published under the pseudonym
of James Dillinger. -
Fuel Injected Dreams (1986) -
Boy Wonder (1988) "In his second novel, the author of Fuel-Injected Dreams has produced a frenzied, satirical account of life in the Hollywood fast lane, a kind of Valley of the Dolls of the coke generation." -- Publisher's Weekly -
Tim and Pete: A Novel (1993) "This is a deliciously subversive novel designed to raise the hackles of moral majority types while offering satiric expression to the revenge fantasies of many a gay male." -- Library Journal -
Right -Wing: A Political Parody

Testosterone (2001) -
Anarchy (2002) with Scott Brassart (Editor) "In this final work, uncompleted at the time of his death but edited to completion under the supervision of his estate, Baker's vision goes supremely sublime. A logic-defying, hysterical plot, encompassing the exploding breasts of a surgically enhanced TV star, Eva Braun's diet pills, a forged O.J. Simpson murder tape, microwaved heads, a shoot-out in Hitler's underground bunker, a cult of fundamentalist tech heads, an old lady hurling herself off a mountaintop, and a profanity-obsessed Russian mafia hit man, leads all the way over the top when a vision of Catherine Deneuve encourages James to take out the big man...God. As impossible to describe as it is to put down, Anarchy is a potent and brilliant satire of American culture in an era of media overexposure, where what we are told replaces truth and what we see on television becomes our religion." --
