Absorbed by Excrement

When the boundary between life and art collapses, is anyone safe?

by Michael Errol Swaim

Out now on Godless.com and in paperback on Amazon!!!

Joshua Meyers’s life has not been without struggles, but he finds solace in writing extreme horror—an endeavor that hasn’t made him wealthy, not exactly. But he and his family enjoy a comfortable existence. On the surface, Joshua has everything a man could want. But underneath, his urges rage, and his cravings for debasement and debauchery border on obsession. When he finally achieves every writer’s heart’s desire—his words leaping off the page—he learns that it all comes at a cost.

About the Author:
Michael Errol Swaim is a horror and fantasy author and proud Cherokee citizen. He picked up a pencil and started writing stories before he was even born, and once ate a dictionary and later crapped out a novella. Due to several mishaps, including a liver and kidney transplant, he stopped writing for a time, and now, after a twenty-five-year hiatus, he has returned to doing what he loves most. Michael focuses on horror, but he occasionally dabbles in fantasy and poetry. In addition to Carnage House, he has work in several upcoming anthologies. He also writes film and book reviews for the Weird Wide Web blog. Michael was dropped off by his parents when he was born somewhere in the forests of Green Country, and he eventually made it to civilization and currently resides in Colcord, Oklahoma, with his wife, Mandy, his three kids, and his special princess, Wolfgirl the Cat.
