Interlude: Mark Oshiro Reads Chuck Tingle (Seriously NSFW)


Mark Oshiro recently posted readings of two Chuck Tingle classics, the Hugo Award-nominated (!) Space Raptor Butt Invasion and the follow-up Slammed in the Butt by My Hugo Award Nomination.

They're quite something. The stories themselves are ridiculous (I'm 95% sure I wouldn't find them arousing even if I were gay but then, I am pretty old) and Oshiro's readings are very funny.

Hold it right there, buckaroos.

I'll note before posting links that Tingle's works are gay porn. Well, sort of gay porn. There's certainly what seems more-or-less like gay sex except in one case it's gay sex with a velociraptor astronaut ("It's not gay if it's with a raptor though, is it?") and in the other it's gay sex with an inanimate trophy (similar question). I leave it to the reader to deduce which is which. Either way, needless to say, this is Not Safe For Work. If the titles and cover didn't already give it away.

I have no words.

If you're a dinosexual, here is Oshiro reading Space Raptor Butt Invasion. If inanimate-object-porn-with-meta-commentary is more your thing, his reading of Slammed in the Butt by My Hugo Award Nomination is here. And Inverse has some commentary on Tingle's Hugo nomination (the nom is a side effect of the Sad/Rabid Puppies nonsense, which I won't bother with summarizing) and the reaction thereto here, and an, ahem, interview with the author here.

As an aside, we're playing Eldritch Horror tonight with all the easy Mythos cards removed from the deck. Possible inspiration for my new short story (soon to be nominated for a Hugo!), Hapless Investigators are Pounded in the Butt by Shub-Niggurath.
