Tales of Humorous Horror
(2011)(The second book in the Writer on Demand series)
A collection of stories by Donald J Bingle
Donald J. Bingle, the author of GREENSWORD (a dark comedy about global warming), demonstrates his "signature dark humor" in this collection of twisted tales.
Writer on Demand Vol. 2: Tales of Humorous Horror includes three stories:
"BunRabs" (approximately 3,500 words) tells the story of the real truth behind the connection between Easter and bunnies, at least from a unique point of view. The story originally appeared in Zombie Raccoons & Killer Bunnies, edited by Kerrie Hughes and Martin H. Greenberg (DAW Books, Inc. 2009).
"Hell to Pay" (approximately 3,050 words) tells the story of the recording industry's ultimate solution for illiegal downloading of music. The story originally appeared in All Hell Breaking Loose, edited by Martin H. Greenberg (DAW Books, Inc. 2005).
"Cursory Review" (approximately 4,200 words) shows that demons really don't find it that easy to create cursed objects. The story originally appeared in Pandora's Closet, edited by Jean Rabe and Martin H. Greenberg (DAW Books, Inc. 2007).
