Special Pesach Membership Sale
I need money to buy Matzah (ok not matzah - that's pretty cheap)
Good evening. I am putting this out one week before Pesach starts because honestly, I need the money. Hopefully, the fair hearing for SNAP (scheduled for April 4 but I have no clue if it’s in person or over the phone and I wouldn’t even know it was scheduled had I not checked the HRA app) will be a good one but I doubt it will be turned on in time to buy food for Passover. And just like in January when they cut it off, it looks like it’s being made purposefully difficult in order to make it harder for me to fight it.
Passover/Pesach is the holiday of matzah and liberation. It’s one of the more intense holidays in the Jewish calendar. Before Passover, Jews clean out the chametz (it can be very intense), remake their kitchens and then buy kosher-for-Pesach food which is so at jacked-up prices because the local grocery store knows what it’s doing.
So I am offering this Pesach discount from now until the night after Pesach. I really hope you will help out. If you have been reading my substack for awhile, please consider getting this membership option. It lasts forever because I’m feeling generous.
I promise my Pesach article this year won’t be nearly as cranky as last year when the voices for murdering Jews, or as they like to call us Zionists (because they think that they can look open minded by accepting the Jews that hate Jews as much as they do) were particularly loud. Here’s last year’s Pesach article.
Happy Pesach (Holiday Extra)
There are dozens of Pesach related topics – the seder, the eight days, the matzah symbolism, the four sons. In the Bible, Eliyahu is the crankiest prophet and yet he's our seder guest. Christians like to impose their cult leader on our holiday. The Ashkenazic vs. Sephardic customs are always fun.
So what else will you get from a paid subscription? I’m still writing about the Book of Job. I will soon be done with Job and I will move onto Shoftim (Judges) which is not nearly as philosophical as Job but has fun messy stories like the one I referenced when I titled a multi-author Biblical horror anthology She Nailed a Stake Through His Head.
Here’s a Job article.
I’m also writing about John Cheever stories. Hopefully, you will have read about “Just Tell Me Who He Was” which is the one I’m currently working on. Here’s a previous John Cheever story.
"The Country Husband" (The Stories of John Cheever)
William Wycherly's Restoration play The Country Wife is filthy and profane and everything that the deposed Puritan regime would have condemned. One character fakes impotence to seduce wives. An urban husband marries the title character for her innocence. Sadly for her urban husband, innocence doesn't stop her from fucking other men. Wycherly even manage…
Besides John Cheever and Job, I also write about a random book. Sometimes it’s High Risk, a book of short stories from 1989 (dealing with outsider art) and sometimes it’s from a book that I’ve published like BADASS HORROR.
Most of my paid content is my fiction. I am posting a novel every Sunday titled The Witching Snakes (I may put it on Kindle shortly) in approximately 5 page installments.
And there are also short stories like
"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.
