Gruesome Futures Book Review

Gruesome Futures Book Review

Gruesome Futures is the fourth of Jon Weichsel's Tales to Make You Vomit. Weichsel clearly believes in truth in advertising, as the title and cover are an honest description of what you will find inside. If anything, this cover is a little tamer than some of the previous

Savage Headhunters Book Review

Savage Headhunters Book Review

Savage Headhunters by J. Manfred Weichsel may be his most horrible book yet.

Money Honey by J. Manfred Weichsel [Amazon link] is a short story done in Weichsel’s signature style of biting political satire with over-the-top absurdity. The title of the book is the same as the hit song by Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters. “Money Honey” has been covered by an

Jungle Jitters by J. Manfred Weichsel Book Review

Jungle Jitters by J. Manfred Weichsel [Amazon link] is one of the most horrifying pieces of social commentary I have ever read. Weichsel pulls no punches whatsoever in this cautionary tale of the power of social media. The pseudonymous Emperor Norton recently blogged a three part series on how hobbies
