Wealthy and bored, this unique human being has discovered an unusual way to pass the time of day. His story will both amuse and disturb you, for you, all of you, might at one time or another become the victim of his elaborate pranks. This is the story of an ordeal he calls his "Dumping Game." As its name implies, it begins with garbage and ends with garbage, but its ultimate goal is the destruction of human lives and the dismantlement of otherwise happy families. Depending upon your own disposition, you will love him or hate him. One thing is certain, however... he loathes you! Follow along as the "Dumping Game" progresses from an apparently harmless prank to a human journey into madness and mayhem. Your guide along the way is a misanthropic eccentric with nothing better to do. Have any strange packages arrived on your front porch lately?
I recently had a chat with Stephen Donald Huff, and he recommended a few titles that he thought I might enjoy based on my review of Shit – he suggested Perverse (“a semi-biographical sketch”), Mr. Accident, Horrid Torrid, and, this book especially – The Dumping Game. I’m really happy that we finally connected, and that he told me about some of his favorites because picking my next read gets difficult when there are so many new (to me) titles to choose from.
Because he stated that The Dumping Game is “a personal favorite and also semi-biographical”, it’s the one that I chose to download first. Now… the actual Dumping Game is on my “Things To Do Before I Die” bucket list >.<
What is The Dumping Game?
As its name implies, it begins with garbage and ends with garbage, but its ultimate goal is the destruction of human lives and the dismantlement of otherwise happy families.
We get to follow along as the game progresses from ‘a harmless prank to a journey into madness‘. Whenever I found myself starting to empathize with the ‘prankee’, my inner demon poked her little head out and laughed manically while making a mental list of potential victims! 3:)
Now I need to find out which parts of this story are ‘semi-biographical’! Care to chime in on this, Steve? We want details!
