Name Your Oddest
Good late evening to my friends, you know and I know who you are, and that is perfectly fine by me and I hope you feel the same. I notice that I usually have the same twenty or thirty views on my blog. That's really more than I ever expected, so I'm not complaining. I have recently done some research on the subject. It isn't easy to find people interested in a blog, so if anyone follows it seriously, then you have done pretty well. There are fifty million bloggers out there, all clamoring for the most followers. I don't stand a chance in that market, so I don't try that hard.
I am not a professional blogger. However, I am a moderately professional author, even though my output that's currently available on the market consists of only short stories and one decent sized novella. As you will assume, and correctly at that, I must continue working my day job for now. I don't mind really. I have had an unprecedented length of time off due to the car accident, broken back, back surgery, surgeon seemingly operating on random places but leaving others broken - but I am feeling much better. Anyone who has had to deal with spine injuries of this magnitude and incurred no spinal column damage as a result will doubtless echo my feelings of gratitude to whatever force chose to spare us from paralysis. And that is all I have to say about that issue.
So, back to the topic of my blog post!
If you have read any of my short fiction, you probably know that I have a tendency to veer away from happy endings. This is because I write horror and horror to me is a reflection of the ultimate reality of the human condition, we live, we suffer and we die. To quote Jim Morrison, "No one here gets out alive!"
With that being said, though, I refuse to let that dark side disallow me my fun. I do love humor and horror equally, and I have always felt the two can coexist very well when done properly. The greatest horror of all would have to be the inability to laugh about the whole big mess.
I think the weirdest story I have published would have to be Way Out Of Here. If you want to check it out, it is actually free on Amazon right now.
Now that I have gotten that greedy self-promotion into my blog, which I assume is still okay, someone correct me if I have erred here, what I want to find out is: What is the weirdest book, novella or short story you have ever read or written?
Looking forward to your selections!

Well, thanks for reading this old blog everyone. Hopefully I will be more active with it going forward.
