Only the second most explicit Great Gatsby parody I’ve read this year.

Entertaining though certain scenes grow repetitive.

I love Chuck Tingle! His books crack me up every time and as silly as they are the short stories were so good.

Love the creativity maar tegelijkertijd zijn alle seks scènes eigenlijk kopietjes van elkaar

Chuck Tingle's weird and fun romps get me out of the hardest of times. 4 stars for the overall collection
"The Picture of Dorian Gay"- 4 stars
This was a fun story of self-love and overcoming your hatred for yourself while being pounded by a gay painting of yourself.
"20,000 Pounds Into My Butt"- 4.5 stars
I was not expecting the hard turn this story took on page 3 to reveal that the explorer's main goal is to have sex with as many creatures as possible. This is what I wanted that stupid Katee Robert Kraken book to be. Honestly, the message of sex not having to be a love story was nice.
"Happy Birthday Frankenstein, Now Pound My Butt"- 4 stars
Reading about an Iowa corn farm boy traveling to Germany to hang with his dad's old friend, Frankenstein's monster, who goes by Frankie, is a racecar driver, was not anything I would have expected this story to be. The fact that Frankie was also green took me out. This was the wildest Frankenstein fanfiction I've come across and it was a Tingler time!
"Happy Birthday Dracula, Now Pound My Butt"- 4.5 stars
There is just something so alluring about the sentient object stories that Chuck Tingle writes. I usually love them the most. This one is no exception because it's got baseball and vampires-- the great American icons and sports. Not only that, Dracula is a sentient baseball. You get it, because he's a bat! LMAOOOOOO I love Chuck Tingle's humor.
"I Have No Butt and I Must Pound"- 5 stars
This is my favorite in the collection. I think I dig the sci-fi Tingeleverse, and this is an area I want to read a lot more from Chuck. I know I love his horror and his sentient erotica, and now his sci-fi shorts can be added to that list. This was just a very profound look into the creation of AI, longing, happiness, and finding yourself.
"The Great Gatsbutt"- 3.5 stars
Jay Gatsby being turned into Bigfoot was the most out-of-pocket retelling I have ever come across. I was not expecting that at all. I will give Chuck Tingle so many points in creativity, but this dragged quite a bit. I wish I liked it more, but I love Gatsby a lot and am picky about retellings if they are meant for humor's sake and are not to be taken so seriously.
"The Tell-Tale Butt"- 2 stars
Did this make me chuckle once or twice? Yes, but this is the worst Tingler I have read so far. Granted I just started my Tingleverse journey a month ago, but coming across such a stinker (possible butt pun??) is devastating. This is not how I wanted to end the collection. BOOOO!
Overall, this was a really fun time. I first discovered Chuck Tingle years ago and never thought I would read him, but after loving his debut horror novel, Camp Damascus, and becoming a fan of him on social media, I have shed my literary pretentiousness. I will be reading more Tingleverse books as well as Chuck's horror. I will get to Bury Your Gays this year!

A much needed palate cleanser after A Melancholy of Resistance! If you're ever in need of some deliriously tongue-in-cheek rompy smut goodness, then hit this guy up. Or pound butts or whatever!
