Stories of High Strangeness — Marc Shapiro
What kind of personality hosts a radio show about the darkest American secrets ever imagined? Marc Shapiro brings his classic take on the persona of man, who is devilish and dark, himself. In the end, we gain entry into the secret garden of his twisted mind with this short story collection by this experienced story crafter. Marc Shapiro:
A zombie goes looking for something more important than his next meal. A one hit wonder faces certain death or worse because he refuses to play ‘Free Bird'. An X rated ghost story plays out on the floor of a porno film dubbing stage. A low level drug dealer comes up with the perfect plan to wipe out the competition. A stud in a post- Apocalyptic world has one small problem.
What is it that I do? I'll take the fifth on that one. Suffice it to say my stories are weird, bizarre and occasionally unclassifiable. If you're brave enough, this is the ticket to ride the dark skies of Stories Of High Strangeness.
There's some squishy stuff, some Merchant Ivory stuff, some extreme, some subtle. If there's a master plan it's to mix pathos, hope, melancholy, humor and real characters into a stew of shadows, light, carnage and feelings of ‘What the f***!'.
The Gods I bow down to? Rod Serling, , Charles Bukowski, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch, Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury. I live and die by the vibe of Black Sabbath, Dio, the soundtracks from The Exorcist and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and the more manic strains of 60's psychedelia.
Stories of High Strangeness is my debut collection. I actually make a living doing this. Don't tell the authorities.
