The Kiss of Death

When someone walked in on Hack in the bathroom passionately kissing his own reflection in the mirror, he claimed that he was researching a new novel and that this half-hearted effort which came out a few weeks later was the result. The reality is that Hack has been seen making out with his own reflection countless times, as early as 1949, so no one really believed him.

Jersey Reads the Classics

When Hack’s friend Rosanna De Candia announced that she was starting a podcast titled Jersey Reads the Classics, he wrote this novel to help promote it. He starts out promisingly, detailing the challenges Ms. De Dandia faced in the creating the project, but after about 25 pages it devolves into yet another account of the brutality he endured at the hands of his father and ending in a graphically described sex fantasy he had about a postal clerk he had purchased stamps from that afternoon.

Sex Nurse

Hack wrote this during a hospital stay when one of his testicles shattered after he was kicked in the crotch during a bar fight. He’s convinced that it’s a true story but he was so doped up that he doesn’t realize that he was just humping an inflatable love doll someone got him as a joke gift, and no one had the heart to tell him.

Considering that he had a shattered testicle at the time, it’s still a pretty impressive accomplishment.

The Man Who Farted

Hack is an obsessive fan of “Third Rock from the Sun” star French Stewart, and claims one of the highlights of his life was briefly sharing an elevator with the actor. The only thing that marred the experience, Hack insisted, was when Stewart “let a massive one rip between the third and fourth floors,” so he went home and wrote this novel about it. His cover artist Jonny M. was also in the elevator and claims that it was actually Hack who cut one, a statement which put additional pressure on their already tense relationship.
