Tales from the Toiletside is a fairly forgettable collection of flash fiction, short stories, and the Kafkaesque novelette, A Metamorphosis. This pathetic anthology combines dark humor, existentialism, absurdism, and social criticism to explore the absurdities of modern life. From existential dilemmas to satirical critiques of society, each story attempts to be a good one. The author tries too hard to be Chuck Palahniuk, Kurt Vonnegut, or Franz Kafka. Probably good enough for fans of Kafkaesque literature, absurdist fiction, and darkly comedic storytelling.
I am happily married with three children--my family is my reason for writing. We live in Michigan, I've spent my life here aside from travelling all over for four years during an enlistment in the Navy. We have a poodle, Wilbur. I like plants, music, animals. I play drums, but I try to play everything. Writing is therapeutic for me and seeing people enjoy any of my writing makes me feel a little less alienated. I am in the process of writing psychological/existential horror.
