Narrator Selected
Well, that was easy.
The very first audition for the Sweet Chuckling Morbidity audiobook was fantastic, and so Traci Johnson has been selected as my narrator.
She's done great things with "myNdwOrm" already, and I can't wait to hear her readings of the rest of my SCM stories.

Year's Best Hardcore Horror Vol. 4 - Out Today!
Read my story “Bloodletting and Intrigue on All Hallows’ Eve” (and many others) in Year’s Best Hardcore Horror Vol. 4, now available in Kindle and paperback editions via Red Room Press.
Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Years-Best-Har...
Product description:
Red Room Press is extremely proud to present its fourth annual anthology featuring this year's hardcore corps of authors with the best extreme horror fiction of 2018 that breaks boundaries and trashes taboos.
First up is “Vigil” by Chad Lutzke. Chad takes us into a neighborhood where a steady stream of decayed corpses are exhumed from a neighbor’s cellar. Extreme olfactory horror at its best.
Deborah Sheldon went under the knife for the inspiration of “Hair And Teeth,” and the result is a tale of gynaecological body horror likely to terrify women and make most men squeamish.
With “Rut Season” Brian Hodge makes a return to Year’s-Best pages in a tale as chilling as it is heart-wrenching, inspired by a thousand-mile drive littered with roadkill and some personal tragedies.
“Control” by Jeff Parsons introduces us to a meth addict stalking potential victims in Central Park to get money for the next score.
Annie Neugebauer is back with “Cilantro,” a Neugebauerian yarn of culinary chaos sure to turn stomachs and cause nightmares.
Tim Waggoner likewise returns this year with “Voices Like Barbwire,” an exploratory dig into old wounds and painful memories.
Rebecca Rowland’s “Bent” wins the Most Cringe-worthy Story honor with her twisted tale of extreme body horror. Her well-drawn characters seem to come off the page but God forbid they do. Their idea of a pretzel party is truly twisted.
Scath Beorh takes Lovecraftian cosmic horror to its next level with “Lord of the Mesa.”
Sean Patrick Hazlett’s story “The Godhead Grimoire” possesses dangerous religious overtones and a forbidden bloodthirsty book.
“Carnal Bodies” by R.E. Hellinger is a shocking story of baroque horror and demonic necrophilia from Two Dead Queers Present: Guillozine. You’ll have to read this one to believe it.
In “Crossroads of Opportunity” Ed Kurtz and doungjai gam take you on a-deal-with-the-devil-at-the-crossroads trip with a son driving his dead mother to an uncertain destination. Trouble is, his mother is a bit of a backseat driver and she just won’t shut up.
Seras Nikita’s “Dad’s Famous Preserves” won’t do much for your appetite but it will show you a recipe for disaster when a jungle missionary’s foot infection blossoms into a stomach-churning nightmare.
“The Bearded Woman,” brought all the way from Rome, Italy, by the inimitable Alessandro Manzetti. His dystopian future tale takes us for a ride in the Bearded Woman’s circus trailer as she and her dwarf husband bring their marriage to a bloody end.
Sara Tantlinger’s “The Devil’s Dreamland” takes us inside the Murder Castle of the infamous H.H. Holmes with her brilliant narrative poem of macabre beauty.
Frank Oreto’s “All God’s Creatures Got Reasons” reveals that there are real monsters walking among us, monsters with a savage appetite for young flesh, but they are so skilled at covering their tracks, we never even know they’re there.
“The Ugly” by J.R. Park introduces us to a couple of sweet little kids who may have a good reason for torturing and eating cats. It’s a way to keep the Ugly at bay. Or is it?
Doug Ford’s “I Have a Confession” takes a coldblooded plunge into sex with a ghost. But what if it’s not a ghost?
In “When the Owls Call” Lyman Graves takes us “stealth camping” in a Texas park after hours, where a strange and dangerous gathering is taking place. David Lynch might say, “The owls are not what they seem.” But are they?
Jeremy Thompson is back this year with his nefarious pal the Hallowfiend in “Bloodletting and Intrigue On All Hallows’ Eve.” With a stylistic nod to Ray Bradbury, Jeremy delivers on our promise that something twisted this way comes.
Capping it all off, Alicia Hilton serves up “Monkey See, Monkey Do” as a tasty little nightcap (for those with hardcore tastes).
Salud!
Sleep well. If you can.

Night Terrors
Having long suspected my books of swallowing my dreams as I sleep, I awoke, this morning, to encounter this snapshot on my phone.

The Fiction of Jeremy Thompson: A Testimonial
“I used to be a four hundred-pound piece of shit. My genitals were so miniscule that I could have used a thimble as a jockstrap (had I ever participated in any sport). I kept pillowcases full of Cheetos to snack on at night and make love to. Day after day, I scoured the Internet for topics to grouse about.
Then, one afternoon, all that changed.
Taking a break from typing message board vitriol, on a whim, I navigated my way over to Amazon. Scrolling through e-book titles, I was startled to realize that a cover had seized my focus, one belonging to Jeremy Thompson’s The Fetus and Other Stories.
Well, the price was reasonable enough, so I purchased the collection, and began to read it that very night. Intaking prose trail after prose trail, unable to put it down, I finished the book a couple of hours later. And, boy, let me tell you, by then I was absolutely hooked on the author’s writing.
Soon enough, I was reading The Phantom Cabinet, then Let’s Destroy Investutech, then Mr. Thompson’s magazine and anthology stuff, then the rest of his oeuvre. And as I whiled away the hours, my imagination utterly captivated by the narrative realms the author had crafted, a funny, wonderful sort of shift occurred.
With my focus now a captive of Mr. Thompson’s inspired prose, no longer did I ingest or force my sexual ardor upon pillowcases full of Cheetos. As a matter of fact, my appetite diminished substantially. Cutting my food intake down to two austere meals a day, I shed pound after pound, hardly noticing as I eye-scrolled my way onto a succession of fresh pages. Then, one morning, I glanced down in the shower (indeed, I was showering again) and realized that my genitals had grown to average size. I even abandoned the message board bitchassness.
Even with a million mouths to voice words with, or a trillion fingers with which to type them, I could hardly thank Jeremy Thompson enough. So here I am, urging anybody seeking a positive life change, a second chance at serenity, to do as I did and embrace the man’s fiction today.”
