Presenting Fucked Up Fairy Tales
Next year I will be releasing 12 installments as ebooks. They will be, as the picture suggests, Fucked Up Fairy Tales. Each month I will be including one of my own stories, one by Alex S. Johnson, and one from a guest author. All the details you will need can be found under the "Fucked Up Fairy Tales" tab on my home page.
I'm super excited about this! Think of it as a big collaboration with some awesome horror, erotica, and bizarro authors. I'm so excited, in fact, that I'm going to drop a little pre-cum on you. Here is an expansion on the list of guest authors, their bios, and where you can find them.
Guest writer list:
Alex S. Johnson
Alex S. Johnson is the author of several books, including Bad Sunset, Doctor Flesh, Jason X IV: Death Moon (an authorized tie-in to the popular Friday the 13th movie franchise) and The Death Jazz. His first collaboration with Berti Walker was some Fucked Up Shit (also the book's title). He lives in Sacramento, California with a disturbingly large collection of heavy metal albums and puppets. He subsists on cigarettes and Rock Star Energy Drinks.

September- Hydra M. Star
Hydra M. Star was originally one half of a set of twin fetuses conceived during the holiday season of 1977, but ate her twin prior to birth. Almost from birth, like most children, she had an intense interest in all things mysterious and magical. As she aged, her taste matured and darkened from Disney-esque fairy stories in childhood to Erotic Horror today. Evidence of this personal evolution and perverting of childhood things can most readily be seen in her Little Red Riding Hood inspired novella, Candy, Blood, and Sex.In addition to writing, Hydra designs and hand-burns a line of pyrography items featuring symbols and signs from various occult and magical traditions. She also, along with her artistic partner Dave Lipscomb, co-owns and publishes Infernal Ink Magazine, which they use as a platform to bring the most twisted and sexually depraved horror and dark fiction they can find to the world.More about Hydra and her work can be found through her website, www.hydramstar.com
