Ozzy’s Christmas Duets
taped at the Days of the Dead convention in Schaumburg, IL Nov. 2013
Standup comic and self-proclaimed anti-social worker, Mike Preston draws on his years of experience with people on the fringe of society to deliver this darkly humorous tale of “intellectually challenged” spirits and failed relationships. When he’s not scribbling out twisted tales, Preston roams the Midwest, performing in gin joints, flophouses, and bowling alleys. It is, by all accounts, a very glamorous life.

“Some people practice Tough Love, Mike Preston says. I practice Tough Apathy. Which means, I don’t care. But I don’t care very deeply. That was the spark that started the fire that would eventually rage out of control and turn into the bold new cure for Personality Disorders. Shut the Hell Up Therapy. It’s like Denial, only more aggressive, Preston says. Rather than ignoring the problem, you hose it down and send it running. (Preston is not currently a Mental Health Professional. Not even close.) The debut of this work, the world’s first openly hostile Self-Help book, signifies an exciting new era in the field of Behavior Modification, and Mike Preston, ASW* is proud to be spearheading that movement. Right into the ground. *Anti-Social Worker

Not every ghost is going to be a genius. That’s just the way it is. When Stan Johnson’s attempt to withdraw from society is interrupted by a visitor from another dimension, he learns more than he ever bargained for about family ties, social grace, and murder. Now he’s on Death Row, contending with a sleazy lawyer and an annoying young trio of aspiring Psychotherapists. Lethal injection has never looked more desirable.

Not your average “Recovery Story,” The Moron Chronicles follows a year in the life of a “reality challenged” alcoholic determined to live life on his own terms and let the chips fall where they may. Twisted and harshly comedic (just like real life), this is the story of what happens when ignorance and arrogance meet and give birth. You’ve seen these guys on the street before and wondered where they came from. Well, this book should answer all your questions. And if you happen to recognize a bit of yourself in there-be afraid. Be very afraid.
Lmao! Ozzy was spot on with this one. I went to days of the dead this past November, was a great show. I met David Howard Thorton, who plays Art the clown. I also met Traci Lords and Alyssa Sutherland.
