📝 Description: Chuck's Bigfoot Tinglers: Volume 4

Chuck Tingle presents Volume Four of his tingler series, a collection defined by its explicit gay eroticism and supernatural themes. This anthology gathers three distinct tales centered on Bigfoot, blending FBI procedural tropes with competitive reality show formats to explore intense romantic and sexual encounters. The work is organized as a straightforward compilation of these narratives, allowing readers to engage with each scenario independently while maintaining the author’s signature style. The first story features FBI agents Sculder and Mully investigating a mysterious television malfunction for a Bigfoot client, which leads to an unexpected intimate resolution involving a plug. In the second tale, unemployed Pete enters a competition called Buttnite Buttle Royale on a remote island, where he meets a handsome Bigfoot contestant, leading to a potential romantic connection amidst the rivalry. The final chapter begins with private investigator Hartoo addressing Virginia congressional hopeful Denber Wiggleman, challenging voters to look past hate and recognize the candidate’s physical reactions to Bigfoot. This book suits readers who appreciate Tingle’s unique blend of paranormal fiction and explicit gay romance. It does not appeal to those seeking traditional horror or non-erotic supernatural stories. The text relies on direct narrative progression rather than complex literary devices, focusing on the specific interactions between human characters and their Bigfoot counterparts.

Horror Reads editorial team
Horror desk
This anthology delivers exactly what its title promises: explicit gay erotic tales featuring Bigfoot within absurd contexts. While the bureaucratic investigations and televised contests provide a novel backdrop for same-sex relationships with cryptids, the text relies on direct narrative progression rather than complex literary devices. It does not appeal to those seeking traditional horror, psychological depth, or non-erotic supernatural stories. Readers expecting nuanced character development or conventional plotting will likely find the material one-dimensional. However, for enthusiasts of niche parody erotica and Tingle’s specific brand of surreal romance, it remains a consistent entry in his series.

Worth every penny

Wanted something for October and it delivered. Not a jump-scare book; it gets under the skin and stays there. Shipping was quick too.

Arrived quickly and well packaged. The ending is bleak and honest, not a twist for the sake of one. Not a jump-scare book; it gets under the skin and stays there. One of my better finds this year.

Good addition to the shelf

Been meaning to get this one for a while. The monster is scarier for how little you see of it. The dread is in the pacing, not in gore, which is exactly how I like it. A couple of the side characters are thinly drawn. Recommended with reservations.

Needed a good scare and got one. A few scenes I will not forget, whether I want to or not. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.

Finished it over a stormy weekend, which helped. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. The atmosphere builds slowly and then does not let go. My only quibble is that the middle third sags a little. Good, with the caveats above.

Grabbed it for a long flight. Some chapters are hard to read in the best possible way. The setting is practically a character, and a hostile one. Would buy from this store again.

Good addition to the shelf

Bought this for my brother and ended up reading it first. Print is comfortable for late-night reading. The cover feels thinner than expected.
