Okay, so I think I've been pretty good at not getting too spammy about my new(ish) collection of short stories and first published book, Clown Tear Junkies. In fact, perhaps I've even been a little lax on the promotional front (?) So how about a little of that proverbially shameless stuff....

Here is what some of my favorite working authors have had to say about the book:

“Hackle may be the best absurdist story writer working today [...] I enjoyed this book more than any other book that I've read in a long time." - Bradley Sands, Author of TV Snorted My Brain

"He sits up there with his pen and paper or word processor or baby seal skin and razor blade (or whatever fucked-up instruments he uses to write stories like this) and he tells us the kind of tales we didn’t even know we were thirsty for in the first place. The kind of tales that matter, in their own weird way. The kind of tales that make reading a joy." - Danger Slater, Author of DangerRAMA

"You walk away [from Clown Tear Junkies] with a clear feeling of how odd Doug Hackle is. It's almost like finding an anonymous notebook in the halls of a high school that was dropped by someone who wrote these twisted little things never intending anyone else to read them. But share them he did!" - Ray Fracalossy, Author of Tales from the Vinegar Wasteland

Also, Karen Brissette, the #1 reviewer on Goodreads in terms of votes--and she's #1 by an extremely large margin of votes at that--weighed in on CLOWN TEAR JUNKIES. Here is her short review of the book.

Okay, that's all. Back to your regularly scheduled GR programming.

Oh, I should probably stick the book's Amazon link here too: http://www.amazon.com/Clown-Tear-Junk...

My forthcoming book, a bizarro horror-comedy novel called TERROR MANNEQUIN (yeah, I keep changing the title), is coming along swimmingly. I’m working on the final revisions of the manuscript, incorporating edits from Bradley Sands. Also, the commissioned cover art is done, courtesy of Hauke Vagt. Check it out.
