The best example of purple prose, hyperbole and melodrama in years.

I'm not here to discuss the recent supreme court decision regarding same-sex marriage but this guy is all over it with some truly laughable ranting, not to mention an astounding lack of sensitivity:


On this day, June 26, 2015, five justices of the Supreme Court became moral jihadists who blasted the twin pillars of truth and righteousness into rubble.

Talk About Your Mixed Reactions.

"Christopher,

 

We really appreciate you giving us the opportunity to read your story! After reading and discussing it, we've decided that while we enjoyed it, we can’t use it for the anthology."

 

 

Well, I'm glad I could entertain all of you...for free. That's always fun.

 

Reprinted Short Story

"The Party," which first appeared here   and was pretty much slammed by this guy  but deemed worthy of reprinting by these good folks is available in the anthology pictured below:

 

It can be purchased here.

First Time Available on Kindle!

There was even talk of adapting this one into a short film at one point.

This was/is probably my most twisted and bizarre story to date. Originally published in 2011 by the tragically defunct Static Movement Press, "Toilet Bums" is a novella focusing on childhood fears being realized in the form of hideous creatures living in our sewers.

The best part about the title is it's absolutely hilarious to English-speaking people outside of the U.S., where a bum is what they call a posterior. Here, bums are what we call filthy, no good scoundrels.

Priced at a mere $2.99, this is about as dark and disturbing as a Nadeau joint gets!

Latest Short Story

Fresh off the heels of the Kindle release of my novella, "Bill's Little Friend" comes this recently completed and accepted "flash fiction" piece titled "Open Door Policy." The story appears in the latest ish of Beyond Science Fiction, a monthly online publication of quality featuring kick-ass covers by the quiet yet dangerous Larry Lonsby, Jr.

Some may remember his cover for my second novel, Kaiju, which was published by Source Point Press.


This is, I believe, my third time appearing in this zine and I couldn't be happier to once again be working with them.

Here's the Beyond Science Fiction so you may drool:

Excerpt from the magazine - "From the Editor's Desk":

Open Door Policy by Christopher Nadeau is a super short piece, though it evokes a sense of horror rarely found in flash fiction.

New (Never Before Published) Novella Release!

Now live on Kindle...My long-ago written but never published novella about workplace weirdoes and the disembodied, parasitic entities that inhabit their bodies and direct their actions. Yes, that old chestnut.

"Bill's Little Friend" is something I wrote when I was much younger, so even though this final version is the fifth draft, the spirit of younger-me is still very much present in its plot and action.

This story is currently exclusive to Kindle.

Why Harlan Ellison is my Hero.

When You Feel Dumber than a Linguistic Genius.

We all make mistakes. Even Sara Palin does, and she's the smartest person in the world! The grizzly mom's vast intellectual prowess aside, I recently contacted the wrong editor about the wrong thing, only to realize too late that I'd actually done it once before, as the following email from the wonderful Brett Reistroffer of Bad Dream Entertainment will attest:

Hey Chris,

By any chance are you confusing email addresses/editors again? Because we haven't been accepting subs for a little bit now.

But since I have you, I'll give you a quick update. We're getting our annual antho together right now, which will feature 'The Love of a Good Entity'. We're shooting for a fall (Oct) release, and it's tentatively titled 'Dark Little Dreams'. I'll keep you, and the rest of the authors updated as things move along. In the meantime, you could send over your mailing address for the contributor copies, payment info (Paypal address or if you want checks I can use your mailing address), and an author bio if you want something other that what originally appeared with the story.

Thanks and talk to you soon,

Brett Reistroffer - Editor, Bad Dream Entertainment

 

 

 

I think "The Love of a Good Entity" is one of the best things I've ever written and I am proud to see it going from one published format to an actual collection.

 

So, despite being dumber than Sara Palin, it all worked out in the rear.

Superhero Meets Monster in the Anthology Everybody Should be Talking About.

So, this Emby Press anthology is coming out soon and it features possibly the best short story I've written in a while, "The Hero Disease."

Plot: Vanishing Act can teleport himself anywhere in the world. He uses his powers for good, but when he tries to create a coalition of other costumes heroes, a powerful creature appears to wipe the "infection" of heroism from the Earth. Now Vanishing Act must conquer his fear of this monster in one final battle that will determine the very definition of what makes us heroic.

 

More on this'n as it becomes available.

My rather lengthy yet-still-considered-short story "Across the Pond" has been reprinted in this Thirteen Press anthology with proceeds going to Greenpeace:

It's only $1.00 for Kindle and even if you disagree that it goes to a good cause, it's got me in it, damn you!
