A talking glory hole. A man who lives out his dream of becoming a horror movie hero. A loser who makes pretzels out of human intestines. A little boy who finds a monster in his closet and is given a very serious ultimatum. A high school basketball star who was stitched together from the spare parts of dead babies, but harbors a secret much less acceptable to his classmates: he's gay. These are just a few of the things you'll find here in the first collection of shorter works from Jeff O'Brien, author of Bigboobenstein and The Halloween Orgy Massacre.

A collection of short stories about adventurers and the monsters they love. Set in a charming tavern run by an even more charming bartender, audiences are free to enjoy the sometimes heartwarming and sometimes thrilling world of Sombfal!

It was a great honor ro be born on the same day in the same country as President Carter, and I am also thrilled he selected my birthday to be his. You know, I'm glad providence tapped the other child born ten miles away to become the thirty-ninth president of the United States. I don't think I would have had nearly as much fun being president. Maybe you will agree after reading my story.

Life is an adventure to be tasted, touched, and experienced. It is my hope that you will find the short stories in this collection enjoyable and fun.

An enthralling, epic tale of the webs of misinformation that saturate, obscure, and complicate the vagaries of day-to-day life in modern America. It’s 2006, and a cloud of darkness seems to have descended over the Earth—or at least over the minds of a ragtag assortment of Bay Area writers, drug dealers, social workers, porn directors, and Melvin, a street kid and refugee from his Mormon family. A shooter runs amok in an Amish schoolhouse, the president runs amok in the Middle East, a child is kidnapped from Disneyland, and on the local literary scene, a former child prostitute and wunderkind author that nobody has ever met has become a media sensation. But something is fishy about this author, Huey Beauregard, and so Melvin and his friends Felicia and Philip launch an investigation into the webs of self-serving stories, lies, rumors, and propaganda that have come to constitute our sad, fractured reality. Glory Hole is a novel about the ravages of time and the varied consequences of a romantic attitude toward literature and life. It is about AIDS, meth, porn, fake biographies, street outreach, the study of Arabic verb forms, Polish transgender modernists, obsession, and future life forms. It’s about getting lost in the fog, about prison as both metaphor and reality, madness, evil clowns, and mystical texts. Vast and ambitious, comic and tragic, the novel also serves as a version of the I Ching, meaning it can be used as an oracle.
