Happy National Hermit Day!



Hack’s cover artist Jonny M. was having a rough week and he just wanted to do a cover where he was making out with Sophia Loren. Hack obliged with a novel that fit his requirements.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Today is World Prayer Day. Hack isn’t a believer but with the way the world is at the moment, he’s willing to try anything.

Hack’s cover artist Jonny M. was walking his pug Boris around their neighborhood one Sunday and they struck up a conversation with a nice fellow who was volunteering to help with parking at a local church. Jonny told Hack about it and a half hour later, he had cranked this thing out.

Happy heavenly birthday to the great Jean Simmons. If you haven’t seen her in Elmer Gantry, we strongly recommend it!

A glorious happy birthday to one of our heroes, the great Patton Oswalt! And a happy Thomas Crapper Day (a key figure in the popularization of the flushing toilet) to each and every one of you!


The Feast of the Ass was a Christian feast during medieval times, which was mainly celebrated in France. It celebrated all of the donkeys of the Bible, especially the one that was believed to have brought Jesus and his family into Egypt after Jesus’ birth, during what is known as the Flight into Egypt. When Hack heard that there was a Christian ritual called “Feast of the Ass,” he immediately assumed that it was a tribute to anilingus and wrote this novel in tribute to it.
After giving the book an objective read, you can definitely see the benefits of bringing Hack’s version of the celebration back into the holiday roster.
