The website of the greatest pulp fiction writer who ever lived
Hack was once paid fifty dollars to serve as a “filler” in a police lineup and was identified as the perpetrator by the key witness, who turned out to be his second wife and “wanted to teach the bastard a lesson.” That lesson included Hack serving two months in prison until she recounted her testimony but it all had a happy ending. Hack based this book on the experience and his ex-wife said the four years she served for perjury was “totally worth it.”
Hack’s alcohol addled brain stopped storing cultural references in the late-1970s, which explains this novelization of the 1974 cult TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker starring Darren McGavin which Hack claims came to him in a dream when he drank himself unconscious in a bar that was showing MSNBC’s coverage of the Trump trial on TV.
Hack tried to sue the makers of the smash hit musical “Mamma Mia” for plagiarizing this 1966 novella but the judge who heard the case said that the ABBA musical was “a delight for the eyes, ears and soul” whereas Hack’s work “made me want to get into a shower and never come out again.” He not only found against Hack but ordered him to pay all legal fees, which forced him into yet another bankruptcy.
Happy School Principals’ Day!
