I'm Alex Thompson, the author of My Sentient Fleshlight & Me and winner of the Create50 award for ‘Most Outstanding and Original New Voice’ for my story Do Blastocysts Dream Of Foetal Sheep.

My novels are guaranteed to be surreal, funny, and transgressive in equal measure. I take bizarre concepts sincerely and follow them wherever that might take me – whether it’s the shocking origins of sentient sex toys, or what would happen if you could graft animal features to humans as easily as getting a new tattoo.

 READER REVIEWS:

“[Alex] takes the reader on a journey like no other – grotesque, gruesome and hilarious in equal measure.”

“This is the book everyone is talking about in Bizarro circles… a hell of a romp through deviant worlds.”

“If you like extremely grotesque fiction that will make you squirm, then this is the book for you.”

I’m particular inspired by authors such as Chuck Palahniuk, Clive Barker, Carlton Mellick III, Charlotte Roche, and other authors whose names don’t begin with C.

MY SENTIENT FLESHLIGHT AND ME:

A true friends with benefits situation...

A professional sex toy reviewer tests a fleshlight - a sex toy shaped unnervingly like female genitals that have been forced into a flashlight casing. But he realises that this is no ordinary fleshlight - it's sentient!

The fleshlight explains its unusual backstory and the two of them have an adventure they won't soon forget.

My Sentient Fleshlight and Me is a surreal mix of black comedy, horror, and dare I say... erotica? It's certainly unique, if you consider that a selling point at all.

LOBSTER HEARTS AND CORMORANT NECKS:

From the writer of 'My Sentient Fleshlight & Me', comes a tantalising look into a world where you can be anything... a surreal mix of bizarro fiction, black comedy, and one-of-a-kind erotica.

Michaela knew how to cause a scene - in fact, she WAS the scene. When it became possible to augment the human body with animal parts, she knew how to catch everyone's eyes. Other people wanted to use the tech to become greater athletes or to show off, and soon every oligarch you saw had a ball python instead of an arm.

Michaela has her own unusual ideas on how to use this mind-bending technology... to be the queen of augmentation. To be the perfect 10 + 10 and she wants you to look.

Fortune favours the brave and rewards Michaela with a steamy one-of-a-kind love that you won't forget.

But can she continue to navigate this world and all of its trappings in her current form?

TWISTED: VOLUME ONE

50 stories from 50 disturbed voices of modern horror… Twisted 50 volume 1 is a deliciously dark slice of contemporary horror literature.

Twisted is an anthology horror collection curated by Cristina Palmer-Romero, for which my short story ‘Do Blastocyts Dream of Foetal Sheep?’ won the award for ‘Most Outstanding & Original New Voice’.

The Book Lover's Boudoir (and top 1000 Amazon reviewer):

‘The best story in the collection is Do Blastocyts Dream of Foetal Sheep? By Alex Thompson. This story is a bit gory and so unsettling it made my flesh crawl. The story is narrated by a foetus that plots revenge when it’s mother tries a home abortion with a curved blade. Twisted is a fantastic collection of horror stories and a must for any fan of horror fiction. I’d highly recommend it.’


A fireside book reading of a classic Bizarro tale.
