Diner of Doom
Roman Scandals
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.
Snakes. Why’d It Have to be Snakes?
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Pray for Us
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.
Bad Sabbath
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.
Manna from Heaven
Happy heavenly birthday to the great Jean Simmons. If you haven’t seen her in Elmer Gantry, we strongly recommend it!
Oswalt’s Crapper
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!

Feast of the Ass
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.
In the Year 2025
Hack was dining with some acquaintances (he doesn’t really have friends) and he commented that the Zager & Evans’ 1969 apocalyptic folk song In the Year 2525 could just as easily apply to the shit show we’re entering into in 2025. He was then shocked to be told that neither of his companions had heard of the song so he assumed that he hallucinated it during one of drunken binges and wrote this rip-off novel as if it was his creation, even including a CD of him croaking the song and including it with the book.
Zager & Evans inevitably sued Hack for plagiarism as soon as the novel hit bookstores and he now faces 2025 on the verge of declaring bankruptcy for the sixth time. Happy new year!
