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.

London After Dark

Hack wrote this Jonny M. adventure in a transparent attempt to rip off the success of the Twilight series. Jonny travels to London do do battle with a lot of super-hot vampires and winds up killing the queen vampire when he impales her with his tragically misshapen genitalia, which is somehow shaped like a cross.

The Bottomless Popcorn Bucket

A nostalgic reminiscence from Hack’s teenage years when he would take girls to the movies, buy a bucket of popcorn and punch out the bottom, and then wait for them to inevitably dig for a handful of his Johnson. He ultimately spent so much money on popcorn without result that he fantasized that someone would just play the trick on him. It never happened.

She Worked For Tips

This is a (relatively) true story about a young, free-thinking pizza delivery girl who has a torrid affair with an aging lothario after he tips twenty dollars on a $14.50 order. Hack really was the aging lothario in the novel but unlike the hottie depicted in the story, the real delivery girl not only had a skin condition and a limp but she turned out to be a dude.

Even so, Hack considers it to be one of the great love stories of his life.
