Picking the Authorhouse Scab

There have been many suggestions for additions to the nine circles of Hell that Dante proposed. My own idea for a 10th Circle would be one where you spend eternity reading vanity-published fantasy and science-fiction books, especially those brought into being with the paid assistance of Authorhouse, who published the incomparable BEAST FEEDING >> BOOK and the scariest book of poetry ever. Looking through their catalogue is an unsettling experience.


 
 
('VirginDay Chain Revelatins Explosive' indeed )



 
(Actually, the idea of a day spent in the company of Ms Rose and Ms McCullough probably requires its own special 11th Circle)



 
 
 
 
(I don't think Mr Smith knows who 'Lucky Pierre' really is. If he does, I want to read this book even less.)

What could be worse than the above vanity-published SF/fantasy? How about a vanity-published SF/fantasy role-playing game?



And finally, moving to autobiography, a book with something for everyone...



(Next up, a return to good stuff, with the second installment of this.)
