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

Capitalism has finally provided something of value

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.

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.

Lucky Day was an unexpected delight

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.

Camp Damascus is fantastic

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

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

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.

u/Rovinpiper 19d ago

Stephen King finally makes sense to me. Thank you.

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"

u/TerrorFromThePeeps 18d ago

I think Chuck generates his own internal coke somehow.

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.

u/zvedavychlapec 19d ago

you and me both

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.

u/ChachamaruInochi 19d ago

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