About the author
Chuck Tingle is a pseudonymous author primarily known for niche gay erotica, featuring romantic and sexual encounters with dinosaurs, imaginary creatures, anthropomorphized inanimate objects, and abstract concepts. Most works are self-published through Amazon as ebooks, paperbacks, and audiobooks, while others are sold through Macmillan Publishing and Tor Publishing Group. In 2016, the short story Space Raptor Butt Invasion was a Hugo Award finalist following a coordinated campaign that the author disavowed, and the next year brought a finalist nomination for the Best Fan Writer award. Horror readers value this fiction for its distinctive blend of uncanny concepts, monstrous elements, and unexpected emotional depth. New readers might start exploring these themes with stocked titles such as Bury Your Gays, Camp Damascus, Space Raptor Butt Trilogy, and Highway To Heck: A Select Your Own Timeline Adventure. Additional available works include Lucky Day, Straight, Fabulous Bodies, and Dr. Chuck Tingle's Complete Guide To Romance.
