My First Car Becomes My First Published Work

March 2, 2018 by acrockofschmidt 1 Comment

  I got published! Okay, okay, let’s not get too excited here.  This wasn’t a professional gig by any stretch.  I didn’t get paid in cash, though I suppose a free copy and one year subscription is better than the ubiquitous “exposure”.  Nonetheless, something I wrote is forever captured in the printed pages of a […]

Downtown Owl by Chuck Klosterman – Review

December 2, 2015 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Well that was weird.  I finally read a book I actually liked.  Dare I say, loved?  This is no small feat I can assure you.  That bookmark down there is not only genuine but germane.   It was given to me by an aunt who knows my reading quirks all too well.  A fitting gift if […]

My Traitorous Mind – A Short Short Story, Thankfully

November 20, 2014 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Two months ago I provided the world a great pleasure by publishing what is arguably the worst horror story ever written.  It is the worst because it is not very good, of course, but also because it’s not bad enough to be loved for its badness.  It will never become a cult classic or shared […]

Back For More – The Worst Horror Short Story Ever Written

September 5, 2014 by acrockofschmidt 7 Comments

“You should be a writer.” I have heard or read that phrase many times over the past two decades of letter writing. And no, not just from my mother.  Actually I don’t think my mother has ever said that; what the hell, mom?  It’s certainly flattering to hear from friends and family and it gives […]
