Is Winona Ryder Still with the Dude from Soul Asylum? and Other LURID Tales of TERROR and DOOM!!!

To entertain its new neighbors, a kind puppet puts Chicken McNuggets into tiny coffins and buries them in its yard. A famous pest control man is diagnosed with the "In the Air Tonight" disease, an incurable sickness that slowly turns its sufferers into the rapist referenced in Phil Collins' hit song "In the Air Tonight." Having just escaped TERROR TOWN, a man is opened up like a can of sardines by a can of sardines. The supposedly debunked but very real ghost caught on camera in the movie Three Men and a Baby exacts revenge on humanity for not believing in him. Though Courtney Cute is indeed the cutest child in the world, her evil doll and batshit-insane grandfather are anything but. A Ouija board grows bored of being a Ouija board. Two passengers (one human, one evil scarecrow) aboard the sinking RMS Titanic refuse to abandon ship because they're too busy watching the blockbuster film Titanic on the actual Titanic ...These and many more ABSURDITIES await in Is Winona Ryder Still with the Dude from Soul Asylum? and Other LURID Tales of TERROR and DOOM!!! , the second collection of bizarro-whacko-absurdo short fiction from Douglas Hackle. "Hackle may be the best absurdist story writer working today." -Bradley Sands, author of Dodgeball High "Hackle combines an English major's love of literature and respect for the written word with a twelve year old's penchant for dark, dirty, demented imaginings and the crassest of crass, sick/twisted humor." -Arthur Graham, author of Tanuki Tango Overdrive
