The Swing Shift: Erotica E-Novels I Might Write To Pay the Rent

WARNING: (IM)MATURE CONTENT

I stumbled upon this local publisher of erotica e-books—did you know these people are making 50% on the download fee of their stuff? I mean, there’s total market saturation here—the list of ridiculous made-up names is quite long (how long was it?)—but I mean, crack the formula, use your imagination, write halfway decent characters, and you could rise to the top of their bestseller list in no time! There’s gold in these horny hills!

The best reading of all might be the summaries of these books, though. The names alone are genius. I mean it, their roster reads like a memorial at a mass funeral of strippers. Here are some of my pitches. Vote on your fave!

Pork Factory

by Lark Labiano

Ginny Aspen is new to Brooklyn and needs a job. She starts waitressing at a tiny Williamsburg supper club with a dark secret…by night it becomes a free-for-all sex orgy between the neighborhood’s hot young chefs. Ginny unwittingly stumbles in on one late-night man feast, which really gives new meaning to the word “butchery.” After she is discovered peeping by Athens Ramsteed, the hot hairy-chested charcuterier, the guys give her a sexy lesson in nose-to-tail eating.

TrueStory Cards: A New Line of Greeting Cards I Spent Today Inventing Instead of Finding a Job

Today is my 35th birthday and I’m unemployed, but I have eleventy thousand ideas that no one is paying me to have. What a fucking waste. Somebody out there is really screwing the pooch. I mean it, I’m a goldmine, dummies.

So I’m obsessed with the life-sized dioramas at the Natural History Museum in NYC. When I move there, I will spend every weekend taking photos and making honest cards out of them. Last time I was there, I got the moose and the wild pig, because they’re my favorites. Also, this thing:

Does anybody know what I am?

So here are a few examples — whaddaya think, should I run with it? Or am I just deluded from a long morning of crying and Vietnamese iced coffee?
