A Few Review Copies Left...

Hey, Goodreaders! FYI, I still have a few paperback copies of my new(ish) short story collection, Is Winona Ryder Still with the Dude from Soul Asylum? and Other LURID Tales of TERROR and DOOM!!!, available to anyone who’d like to review it on a personal blog, book review site, Amazon, here on Goodreads, etc.

description But what sort of stories are these, you might ask?

Well, most would call them bizarro or absurdist or neo-absurdist humor/satire or something like that. However, should you find those adjectives unappealing for whatever reason or reasons, know that this book, in a very general sense, could also be regarded as “horror-comedy.” Because just off the top of my head, I know it contains zombie sardines, a talking Ouija board, the ghost from Three Men and a Baby, a diabolical scarecrow, an untold number of creepy puppets and puppetlike things, TERROR THING (literally “the most terrifying thing on earth”), not to mention cameos from the likes of Freddy, Jason, Alien, Predator, and even ol' H.P. Lovecraft himself.

So, yeah. Horror comedy. Or bizarro. Or neo-absurdist-popsurrealist-irreal-satire-whackopunk-stupidcore-WHATEVER!

Message me if interested.

Laterz,

Tha D-Child

Aces. Five stars on it. Top notch, imaginative writing like this should not be free. Readers should thank the generous D-Child for his unrequired kindness.

I liked them all, but my favorite was that one about the zombie tater tots. They popped out of their graves in the neighbor's back yard, all squishy and deconstructing and stuff. That's a lot scarier than that other guy's zombie sardines, as when mom gave me a sardine sandwich and one of the zombie ones fell out, it couldn't do shit but flop around a little cause it wasn't in water, except the time I was on the can, and even then I just had to flush it.

But you take them little squishers walking around all over the place, biting my feets when I'm not looking. Now, that's a terror trip. And the astute political commentary Tha D-Child is known for is right there for the intellectual readers, those bad taters a symbol of the hateful ruling class.

Viva la revolucion.

Yeah. Just enough to decorate the living room with; floor to ceiling.

Semi-colon; muthafucka.
