This is my book. It's weird, sometimes gory, and currently has 4.3 stars on Amazon and four stars on Goodreads. If you like the short work of Kafka or Borges, give it a spin: www.amazon.com/dp/B09QJHBXYC

A book ad for "The Cockroach of the Dada Movement". It is a photo of the book laying in the grass with key phrases around it pointing at the book. Those keywords are:

"lost work of K. Ungeheuer (1908-1988)"
"museum of severed ears"
"nearly divine rabbit"
"market for selling children's fingers"
"what happened to the corpse of the lizard god?"
"Kafka meets Poe in the throes of opium"
"women living in teeth"
"short, weird, horrifying"

this wonderful poem has a special, little room in my brain to keep it cozy and warm

Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin

Tomorrow when the farm boys find this
freak of nature, they will wrap his body
in newspaper and carry him to the museum.

But tonight he is alive and in the north
field with his mother. It is a perfect
summer evening: the moon rising over
the orchard, the wind in the grass. And
as he stares into the sky, there are
twice as many stars as usual.

GenX shout out. Happy Halloween!

1970s photo of a kid in a clown costume at a kitchen table. Candy like Sugar Daddy, Hershey's bar, and also oranges and an apple. The kid has two candy cigarettes in his mouth.

The caption reads: "Nothing like taking a drag from your candy cigarette after a long hard night of trick-or-treating"

I just finished @claymcleod.bsky.social's WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES. Freaking great like the rest of his work. I mean...

"Swallowing the glass was tough, but at least the blood gave her something to help wash it down. With each strained gulp, the shards slicing at the lining of her throat"

I woke up this morning to find that some maggot had climbed up on our porch to steal our Pride flag from the mounting bracket on the front of our house. They also took our "It's OK to be Gay" yard sign.

The hate continues to spread in this country like cancer.

The perfect couple costume for #Halloween doesn't exis... Oh. ok. never mind

A man and woman dressed up for Halloween. The woman is dressed as Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, and the man is dressed as a dalmatian, but is wearing a bodysuit showing anatomical muscles. This suggests he's been skinned already for Cruella's fur coat.

While my short story, "Cracked Pearl," marinates, I'm revisiting an older story.

It's been rejected many times, but I still love it. So I make tweaks and send it back out.

I'm done with the current draft and they're about ready to go back out.

the classics are classic for a reason

A twist on "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". It features the Peanuts cast in Halloween costumes, with Charlie Brown buried under a pile of rocks. The title reads: "It's the Great Lottery, Shirley Jackson"

We just celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. I made my wife her favorite cake, angel food cake. And my wife's gift to me? Punk Rattus Mermaid from Cryptic Creatures Taxidermy! I named her Bessica.

and so it begins #Halloween

A painting of the Peanuts gang (Charlie Brown, Snoopy, etc), but they are painted as realistic teenagers. They are holding hands in a circle in a pumpkin patch at night. They are performing some sort of ritual and have invoked the Great Pumpkin. The Great Pumpkin floats above their circle in a bed of vines. It has the Eye of Horus imprinted on it.

such an underrated movie. I love Cundieff

I'm back to an older story that just can't find a home.

It's a queer medical horror story about a male sex worker whose encounter with a client leads to a truly scarring experience.

I've tightened it up some and think it's getting closer to being a full grown story! #booksky #writingcommunity

Super proud! I took 1st place in the "Duchamp Award for Self Awarding Authors" for my collection of short weird horror (cockroach.org)!

Rrose Sélavy says, "An almost bizzaro version of Kafka's Meditations meets Poe in the throes of opium."

A selfie of the incredible, talented, and adorable author, Karl Sigler, wearing a gorgeous knit polo shirt with large eyes with pink eyelashes. He is holding the coveted "Duchamp Award for Self Awarding Authors" for his first collection "The Cockroach of the Dada Movement: The Life and Selected Works of K. Ungeheuer."

He is holding up the trophy he made which is a miniature version of Marcel Duchamp's 1913 "Bicycle Wheel," a "Readymade" consisting of the front wheel of a bicycle mounted upside-down on a wooden stool.
