title: The Mad and Macabre: Eight Stories from Hell
author:  Gideon Nod 
description: Gideon Nod was born and abandoned in a back alley. He was raised there by rats until he was taken in by a cannibalistic hobo named Lenny, who taught him the finer points of squatting, riding the rails, and preparing human flesh for consumption. After Lenny was arrested, he was sent to live with a lesbian coven until he turned eighteen. He then worked as a janitor, but was fired for gross incompetence. He now writes horror because, hey, what the hell else is he going to do?
