Five Crimes Against Literature

Professionally published writer Alistair Ainscott unleashes a vile compendium of five literary transgressions, a special room in hell for the serious-minded: "The Ferro-Erotic Roaches of Kiki," "Occupy Stinking America," "Maiden Voyage of the Pink Plastic Ponies," "Captain Disaster and the Twin Terrors of Unholy Matrimony," and "Why Oranges Are Apples", plus excerpt from "The Flies Dropped Dead."

From aliens with bizarre sensor perceptions, a boy-with-bad-breath meets supermodel-girl story of wayward romance, a superhero who drives a rusted-out International Harvester Scout and saves a solo Dad from the clutches of his own twin toddlers, or a play with a swarm of eccentric characters-- an inept vampire, the Pissy Flippin' Bastards, the Harbingers of Doom, Death, Destruction and Other Nasty Things-- well, what ends up on the page ranges from preposterous hilarity to full-blown crimes against literature.

But if your sense of humor is as warped and twisted as mine sometimes is, you might just enjoy the ride, and you definitely won't find anything else quite like it.

Professionally published writer Alistair Ainscott writes tales of science gone haywire, men gone mad, oddballs gone even odder, twin toddlers run amok, cats doing the things that cats are given to do, and other nefarious goings-on of the mysterious and the unknown.

His fiction has appeared in the professional-paying Penumbra magazine of speculative fiction from Musa Publishing, and he has also studied short fiction with Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith.
