Some of these books may include violence, foul language, crude humour and elements some readers may find disturbing.
The Werewolf Asylum
A novelette of lycanthropy and insanity. In Victorian England, there is a special institution where two men intend to help lycanthropes suppress their nocturnal transformations, while searching for a more permanent cure. One evening, they discover a rare type of werewolf – one trapped eternally in a half-human, half-wolf form – that they believe could be beneficial to their research.
‘Martha’, however, believing her shape is due to her being a Messiah to her brethren, wishes to see the other werewolves embrace their curse. Can she be treated and cured? Or will her ‘Lord’ have his way?
Barking Benjamin
Remember the stories from your childhood? Remember the fairy tales, the cartoons, and the talking animals? What if they were real? And what if there was more to their worlds than you knew?
Gareth Barsby (The Werewolf Asylum) offers this anthology of childish stories with a darker twist. A teenage wolf fears the dreaded “Hood”. A rat learns about the seedier side of showbiz. A biker finds a talking alligator invading his home. A man with a strange power seeks the Ring of Charlemagne.
And what do all these heroes have in common? They are all being observed by Barking Benjamin, a cartoon dog who wants the halcyon days of his past to return…
Mr. Movie Maker
Everything that has ever been imagined, every story that has ever been told, every character that has been created exists in another plane of reality. And someone’s about to use this to his advantage.
A world of anthropomorphic wolves is invaded by a horror movie slasher. An aspiring children’s book author sees visions of a world entirely of her own creation. A man with the ability to sense the supernatural is visited by beings from other worlds.
All of this is because of the machinations of the mysterious Mr. Movie Maker, who plans to spread his influence over any worlds he can find. Read how his plans unfurl in this novella set two years after the events of short story collection Barking Benjamin.
Reindeer
Santa Claus never lived at the North Pole; he lives and operates in Purgatory. He brings presents to those that have not yet ascended to Heaven in order to give them hope. His elves and reindeer are the spirits of those who died during Christmas.
Meet his newest recruit, Randall, a Christmas-loving human turned into a confused and curious reindeer. It’s bad enough for Randall that he now has to live in a world where happiness and saccharine is forced onto him daily, but then he learns that the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come has history with Santa, and a crooked man is practicing necromancy so as to ruin Santa’s operation.
Can Randall thwart the evil plan and save the holiday he loves?
The Adventures of a Duck
Anne is a nineteen-year-old girl studying at Doford University. She likes reading, video games, and wishes to be more confident and social.
She’s also a talking duck in a world ruled by animals, her boyfriend is a snake who’s also an aspiring horror writer, and she even ends up encountering real ghosts and monsters.
A selection of short stories about Anne the Duck and the weird world she inhabits.
This anthology includes A Duck and a Turtle, A Duck, a Snake and a Ghost and new stories about the adventures of Anne the Duck!
The Ghost of Christmas Socks
Little Louis Lumpton is excited about all the presents he’ll receive on Christmas…but he’s also dreading the arrival of his Aunt Laura, who gives him nothing but socks as a gift. However, one Christmas Eve, he receives a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Socks, who attempts to teach him that getting socks for Christmas isn’t that bad.
A short, 700 word story that should amuse kids, adults and anyone who’s ever hated getting socks for Christmas.
Pizza Woman
There once was a woman named Lisa,
And she could never find peace,
She was a woman whose head was a pizza,
And her body was made out of cheese…
Lisa was born with a pizza for a head and so she can’t go outside without someone either mocking her or trying to eat her. She spends most of her time alone in her home, pondering on her loneliness and how she came to be. Thankfully, she makes a new friend, just as unusual as she, who encourages her talents.
An expanded version of my Pizza Woman poem with NEW illustrations!

The Lemon Possum
There were two possums,
Belinda and Bill,
Every night,
Their guts they would fill…
Every night Belinda and Bill the hungry opossums rummage through myriad bins for their dinner, but Bill wants a change. He seems to get his wish when the magical Lemon Possum appears, conjuring up sweets from thin air, but Belinda is not too impressed.

Rebecca and the Grinning Worm
THIS BOOK IS A WORK OF PARODY, AND CONTAINS DEATH, GORE, PTSD, WAR, FOUL LANGUAGE, GUNS, WEAPONS AND REFERENCES TO BODY HORROR, HOMOPHOBIA, SEXISM, TRANSPHOBIA AND SUICIDE.
All profits from this book will be donated to Gendered Intelligence. The book is free but you can donate if you wish.
Rebecca is a trans lesbian raven from the planet of Aviarn, working as a bounty hunter while dealing with PTSD from the death of her girlfriend and the transphobia she’s received. On one job for the goat-headed mad scientist Dr. Harriet Caprin, she encounters The Grinning Worm, a large worm-like being with mechanical limbs and bizarre powers. At first, Rebecca sees the Worm as the embodiment of all her pain, but soon learns they have more in common than she first thought, and something much worse is lurking in the shadows.
All you need to know about the inspiration for this story is that when I was young, I loved a certain character from a certain video game and a certain cartoon but then I found out that the certain character’s certain creator was a horrible hateful bigot.
