If you’re hankering for a good train wreck, go read this.

Synopsis: Batshit insane author (Candace Sams) forgets her tinfoil hat and completely loses it over a single one-star review, blaming her editor, the reviewer’s supposed “minions,” everyone on the internets, everyone not on the internets, so on and so forth. (I don’t think she understands the nature of lulz, as she’s convinced everyone who shows up to gawk is there at the behest of the original reviewer.) Then she claims she’s been threatened and has the FBI on the case.

Did I mention this author is behind such instant classics as Electra Galaxy’s Mr. Interstellar Feller (the book at the heart of the controversy), and – as an alternate nom de plume – the fantasy erotica piece Every Witch Way But Loose?

I realize perhaps Ms. Sams’ theory is any publicity is good publicity, so I’m helping to feed the troll by posting this, but I can’t help but share. It’s awfully gee-dee funny. Major hat-tip to Sean, to whom I owe all of tonight’s lulz.

Go check it out. You might even recognize someone who shows up on page 20.

Two clues:

1) “That we were slaves I had known all my life–and nothing could be done about it. True, we weren’t bought and sold–but as long as Authority held monopoly over what we had to have and what we could sell to buy it, we were slaves.”

2) I should have read it a long time ago, as it is considered to be canon for people of my political mindset.
