Taking a Break from All This Shit

When social distancing from the Coronavirus was at its height, Hack wrote this to keep from having a nervous breakdown. It became one of his all-time biggest sellers despite the fact that he had a nervous breakdown anyway.

Phantom of the Subway

On a visit to New York in the late 1970s, Hack was convinced that he saw a monster outside the window of the train and became more and more hysterical until he was briefly institutionalized. It turned out to be a homeless man who had been struck by the train and his body became glued to its side but since this was when Ed Koch was mayor, no one noticed because that kind of stuff happened all the time.

The Pug was in the Driver’s Seat

Hack wrote this after he took his van to get gas with his cover artist Jonny M.’s pug as a passenger. While he was filling up, he attempted to hit on a gorgeous woman at the next pump but she was only interested in playing with Boris. Hack tried to make Boris walk home after that but the gorgeous woman gave him a lift and no one knows what happened after that.
