About this author

I like beer and books (and vein poppets and dervishes and broken crayons and other stuff), and my instinct for self-preservation compels me to preserve myself.

My short fiction has been published online at Brain Harvest, Every Day Fiction, Jersey Devil Press, The Mustache Factor, The New Flesh Magazine, The Surreal Grotesque, three minute plastic, and elsewhere.


Episode 18 of the Surreal Grotesque is now up. In it, I read "Give Courtney Cute Anything She Wants," a tale from my forthcoming short story collection.

Douglas Hackle I can now finally join the ebook revolution, as I just acquired a new cell phone that's big enough for me to comfortably read ebooks using the Kindle app.


Douglas Hackle Cool. My first interview as a writer!

And should you have as about as much interest in reading an interview with me as you do in lighting your own genitals on fire, perhaps you might want to check out a picture of the little nub that is all that’s left of the extra finger I was born with on my left hand. Such a picture accompanies the interview (scroll down a little when you're there to see it). Freaky stuff!
