As things get busy and I contemplate buying a keyboard to put on top of my laptop as some of the keys get sticky and that left Ctrl key doesn’t work, I take on jobs and run out of time and I got four hours until candle lighting. So here are links to some fiction that I’ve posted here in the past. Oddly enough two stories about Nazis were next to each other in alphabetical order. Then there’s the Frankenstein story which is based on the book that I’ve read about 7-8 times. It’s not even my favorite book. Weird.
First is “Everything is Dark“ which is more of a dream sequence movie experimental story. It includes Lilith because of course, it includes Lilith.
Everything is Dark (Fiction Extra)
This is an odd one. I sold it to Silverthought, which seems to be defunct. I revised it before I posted it here because I found it clumsily written. It’s still a bit clumsy. It’s one of my second person stories, with Nazis. And Lilith.
Then we have “Family Reunion'‘ which doesn’t have a paywall since it’s free on the internet already. I guess you could just subscribe because you like me. It’s almost Chanukah. And that other holiday with the reindeer.
This story was originally written as a self-challenge to write a story based on the parsha. First parsha begins with Adam and Eve and ends with G-d contemplating the destruction of humanity with the Flood. So I turned it into a Nazi Germany story about a family of good Nazis having a family reunion that is reminiscent of my Great Grandfather’s 100th birthday party. My great grandfather was very confused at the time. He died shortly afterwards. No one in my family is as evil as this bunch.
"Family Reunion" (Fiction Extra)
I wanted to put this one under a subscriber paywall, but it’s still online for free from On the Premises , so I guess I should make this one free. I have other stories under paywalls like Bop Kabala and Communist Jazz, so if you like this one, consider reading that one. As an introduction, I was trying to write stories based on every parsha of the Bibl…
Finally, we have my take on Frankenstein. Yes, the monster’s name is Frankenstein. He’s his father’s son. He takes his father’s name. This is the kind of story when you’ve read the book too many times and start seeing holes in Victor’s story.
"Gentlemen of the Jury" (Fiction Extra)
Gentlemen of the Jury, we are here to decide not only the fate of the defendant but the entire judicial system. The question we put in front of you is simple. Will we allow the architect of a heinous crime liberty? My esteemed colleague will tell you that the defendant is not responsible for the actions of his creation. My esteemed colleague will argue that Victor Von Frankenstein is merely the victim of circumstance. According to honorable Herr Rosenblatt, Victor Von Frankenstein deserves pity not consecutive life sentences.
Since Xmas is coming up, it’s the perfect time to buy Sugarplum Zombie Motherfuckers. It’s also available from Audible.
If you are looking for Hanukkah or Xmas gifts, give the gift of Bible themed fiction.
