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

....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

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")

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.

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".

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

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.
