That blog entry was one of the creepiest things I read all day. Are you sure you want that on the mainpage?

Interesting first post. Though it all smells of shades of conspiracy theory, I'm looking forward to more from Steve.

shades of conspiracy theory?

Its like "Loose Change" all over again.

I do have a certain amount of belief in what Alten is saying but it really does come off very over the top in an almost cartoony fashion.

This is a satirical blog post, right? A parody of Truther blogs?

Like his novels. This is a commercial for the book ...

I thought it was a commercial too...but Alten was just shot/drowned/blown up & scissor crushed/bilbed/backed over by an autobus/flung from a copter/stampeded/bleeded/and, finally, smothered in a silo like Danny Glover in Witness.

He's doing OK, though. But something's up.

I figured as much. But having a friend who's gone full blown Truther conspiracy nut..well, you just never know these days.

It was Uncle Sam. Taxes always get you, even after you're dead.


I'm with that Amphibo fella, I was just trying to be polite and tried not to stir the crazy. Conspiracy theorists, tend to pop up like moles in a whack a mole game. You never win and go home wet, tired, and frustrated. Much like after a visit to a strip/gentlemen's club.

Shouldn't it be called "The Shill Game"?

I think you cynical Chewers are ignoring the cool possibilities of having Alten "contribute" to the site. Personally, I'd rather it involve sea monsters of one kind or another, but it's nifty nevertheless.

Steve, if you're reading this... I wanna film adaptation of THE LOCH STAT!

I second Darkmites and go even further. Meg, Loch and Goliath need to be adapted asap.

And while I personally am tired of all that 9/11 stuff, I'm still looking forward to The Shell Game. Fact or fiction, it'll again be a very entertaining read.

"He... sends his readers a monthly newsletter with updates on where they can register to become a character in one of his novels."

I just noticed this in his bio. Hahaha what a loser!
