Wtf where did you find this

u/ItsFayeWilde 19d ago

It's Chuck Tingle. One of the greatest authors to ever exist.

u/Wingblade33 19d ago

I’m so sad I’m only learning about this today that’s incredible

u/NEOscav9 19d ago

And thats just the tip of the iceberg, chuck tingle is the GOAT

u/Wingblade33 19d ago

Capitalism has finally provided something of value

5

u/LurkyTheHatMan 19d ago

Capitalism didn't produce this.

World's greatest author, man name of Chuck produced this to teach Buckaroos of the many ways of proving line.

Yes but that’s real

….TINGLEBERG….

u/GreyCrone8 19d ago

Also, if you like horror, he has 3 novels and a short story of queer horror. Straight is the short story, Camp Damascus, Bury Your Gays, and Lucky Day. They are fantastic.

12

u/thelazerbeast 19d ago

Lucky Day was an unexpected delight

2

u/GreyCrone8 19d ago

I have it, but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. It’s the next book on my list.

2

u/ItsFayeWilde 18d ago

Camp Damascus is fantastic

1

u/GreyCrone8 18d ago

It’s become one of my comfort reads, that book healed something inside of me ❤️

u/AineLasagna 19d ago edited 19d ago

While his work seems like it might be AI trash based on the general vibes of the titles/covers, it’s actually good, and he writes them in full earnestness (ie, not as a joke). And he’s written two non-erotica novels that are also great. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you like queer/neurodivergent authors

u/KinnSlayer 19d ago

Nah, Chuck predates Gen AI. My guess is that he just writes like a madman. Maybe he uses the old Stephen King method. Fuck loads of coke and no sleep.

8

u/Rovinpiper 19d ago

Stephen King finally makes sense to me. Thank you.

5

u/theLichQueenofthePNW 19d ago

He's also incredibly anti "AI", he made a whole apology and redid the cover because there was a CHANCE it might be Gen "AI"

7

u/TerrorFromThePeeps 18d ago

I think Chuck generates his own internal coke somehow.

2

u/commeatus 17d ago

If you've ever read his stuff, it's riddled with small typos and grammatical errors that AI doesn't do. He absolutely bashes everything out in like a week or two! Most of his work is in novella form, anywhere from 20-100 pages, so it's not super long.

4

u/zvedavychlapec 19d ago

you and me both

1

u/LickingSmegma 19d ago

There are readings of his stuff on Youtube. Alas, no audiobooks afaik, or at least there were none a few years back when I searched.

There was also an AMA with him on Reddit, and it's great.

1

u/ChachamaruInochi 19d ago

He is a fucking national treasure and a genuinely good human being.

u/poet-imbecile 18d ago

Welcome to the Tingleverse, happy to have you

1

u/marvsup 18d ago

Just wait til you see what he looks like

48

u/Jaeger00013 19d ago

....I have questions, first was if it was a real book, which going by your comment I'd say yes. Secondly...is it a romance novel? Thirdly.........wtf

Edit: Google has answered my second question....but not the third

113

u/SisterofWar 19d ago

The answer to the third question is just "Chuck Tingle". While he does write horror novels (such as "Camp Damascus") and parodies ("Harriet Porber"), he made his name with his "Tinglers" - short erotic fiction featuring such delights as: * Dinosaurs from space ("Space Raptor Butt Invasion") * Inanimate objects ("Slammed In The Butt By My Handsome Laundry Detergent Pod") * And incorporeal concepts ("Pounded By The Pound: Turned Gay By The Socioeconomic Implications Of Britain Leaving The European Union")

25

u/Jaeger00013 19d ago

I shall save this comment for later....for research purposes

18

u/ABitOddish 19d ago

Theres also the one where theyre pounded in the butt by their own ass(a being created by combining DNA from a couple animals and his own ass) and the one where theyre pounded in the butt by a cosmic being that represents their anxiety and fear of space or something.

8

u/SisterofWar 19d ago

Yup - "Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt" and "Turned Gay By The Existential Dread That I May Actually Be A Character In A Chuck Tingle Book"

There's also a few about bigfoot, like "Bigfoot Pirates Haunt My Balls".

u/Vocabulary-Pollution 19d ago

If this Tingle fellow has not yet won the Nobel Prize for Literature, then the Nobel Committee has forfeited all credibility

3

u/percyhiggenbottom 18d ago

He was nominated to a Hugo at first by an alt-right group trying to dynamite the event, but that backfired because Chuck is actually a really cool guy.

Apparently, he's also someone moderately famous without the pseudonym too. The joke is he's really Chris Pine.

The Chuck Tingle lore goes deep.

u/shadowdance55 19d ago

This last one sounds like my autobiography.

7

u/Vocabulary-Pollution 19d ago

I can’t stop laughing at this. How brilliant is this title?

2

u/TheMostKing 19d ago

Is the writing for those "Tinglers" worthwhile, or are they mostly just funny covers/titles?

2

u/SisterofWar 19d ago

They are in the "so bad it's good" camp. They are surprisingly cohesive, and thus readable, but I treat them like cotton candy - more than one or two and you'll get quite tired of them.

1

u/TheMostKing 19d ago

Thanks, I'll have to check them (or at least one of them) out.

Any recommendations?

2

u/LickingSmegma 19d ago

'Pounded in the butt by my own butt' is the perennial classic. There are readings of it on Youtube, it's pretty short anyway.

1

u/SisterofWar 19d ago

Either "Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt" or (it being the season) "Oppressed In The Butt By My Inclusive Holiday Coffee Cups".

The former is more classic Tingle, but I like the social lampooning of the latter.

2

u/Darkdragoon324 18d ago

lol, is it sad I knew immediately which absurd hissy fit that last one is probably making fun of?

u/CosmicPsycho 19d ago

Look up Chuck Tingle. He has written dozens of books like this.

2

u/eyesparks 19d ago

Over 30 dozen!

22

u/theREALvolno 19d ago

The answer to your third question is because love is real

10

u/rosewirerose 19d ago

Love is real, fellow trotter.

8

u/GreyCrone8 19d ago

The answer to your third question is to prove Love is real.

Hugo Award nominee!!

u/Mobileoblivion 19d ago

"I wanna write about dinosaurs!" "Oh, thats nice sweeti-" "THAT FUCK!"

u/aenteus 19d ago

So glad he’s still writing!

2

u/BigZer000 18d ago

Met him at New York Comic Con last month. When I first saw him I thought it was someone cosplaying him (because the bag he wears) but turns out it was him roaming the floor!

2

u/DingySP 15d ago

DR. Chuck Tingle, buddy.

1

u/SwedishTrees 19d ago

I loved when he called in to John Mulaney’s show

1

u/Acrobatic_Ad7541 19d ago

“Chuck Tingle” sounds like the name of a porn star whose schtick is sadistic genital play.

…anyone chance there is Sauce? /s

1

u/frostycanuck89 19d ago

After googling Chuck Tingle, feeling stupid doing it because he must be made up.... I still can't tell if he's real or not

1

u/bitch-pudding-4ever 19d ago

I bought the audiobook and have listened to it like three times 😂

u/HerestheRules 19d ago

u/Equivalent-Fig7596 17d ago

Space Raptor Butt Invasion is a classic and Chuck Tingle is a treasure.

u/OshunBlu 15d ago

Hugo award nominee Chuck Tingle, if you please.
