Set in good old 1955 in the strange little town of Cowchip Alabama a monster beyond all reason rears its ugly head from a local garden hose to devour all life. If it isn’t stopped by our heroes in Cowchip Alabama it will consume the world! This book reads like a good old fashioned monster movie. It has a hero, a general, colonel, an old scientist and his beautiful young assistant (who is a girl) and monster chomping action galore. It is stuffed to suffocation with every wonderful 1950’s monster thing you can imagine. The only thing it lacks is the eerie music and I’m working on that for you! It’s rated PG, if that. It’s so good you will want to read it aloud. And best of all it’s based on a real, well documented incident. Several in fact! . |

All Aboard! The Funny Bone Train To Cowchip Alabama Is Now Departing. All Aboard! Get set for a laugh out loud southern humor reading experience.
The currency of the Internet is a thing known as articles. There are millions, billions of articles on every conceivable subject. Indeed, the initial reason to have an Internet was to have a place to swap information. But now, there is a new thing… The Kindle Book!
The feeling of the editor of FableShop.net is that the first mission of the world wide web has been fulfilled with the flowering of fact media.
If you recall your early school years, you were tasked with writing articles for teacher. But how often did you go to the library to pick up a good article for entertaining reading? If you were or are a writer, how often did you sit down, keyboard in hand, and say to yourself, “I think I shall write a fine article to answer the age old question, ‘what if?”
In our modern world, it is quite possible to literally write non-fiction by machine. Somewhere, sometime, one wizened little old person wrote the original piece, and from that springs millions of slightly changed copies, spewed forth by inhuman algorithms. Articles by machine happen all the time. It even has a name. It’s called ‘spinning’.
Fiction, on the other hand, is much harder to spin successfully. A good short story or novel that passes the various search engine tests for authenticity will invariably be authentic.
It is to that end that I offer a new form of Internet presentation, and that is short stories with just a touch of Internet marketing mixed in to pay for the project.
The customary way to do business on the net is to write an article about a subject to draw in the reader, and then to try and sell him something.
The unique mission of FableShop.net is to present a short story with just a dab of advertising thrown in. In other words, we want you to purchase a Kindle copy of the book!
In the end, there is no reason one can not be entertained while being marketed!
Featured short stories delivered under the genre of Mystery, Science Fiction, The Cowchip/AL Series, and The Choccolocco Valley Series will be found here.
There are two distinct paths offered: The Cowchip/AL Series, and Choccolocco Valley Series. Each path offers completely different worlds of excitement.
We hope you enjoy your exciting excursion into the strange worlds of Cowchip and the Choccoloco Valley. FableShop.net is the modern shop of great fables!
