Catawampus Tales run the gambit from sci-fi to satire, horror, and everything in between. Each story is somewhat askew or catawampus—a mixed-bag of fast food for the mind. What if there really was such a thing as a superhero, what problems might he or she face? Supermale's Gone and Left Us provides some humorous answers. A horny bachelor goes looking for a streetwalker and runs into trouble with gangbangers in When Push Comes to Shove. A nerd wakes up in Sugar and the Bikers in a room in which he did not fall asleep. A peevish individual informs him that he left the nerd’s pretty wife downtown with a couple of bikers. Zombie Fight Song tells the story of how a college boy inadvertently finds the perfect cure for womanizing. In Oh, That Catherine the Great, an insecure young man at lunch with his boss and two co-workers encounters some strange conversation. Trials of a Vampire Hunter begins where most vampire tales end. A vampire hunter is apprehended by the police just after he drives a stake through his quarry’s heart. A shy, little man is miserable because he lacks the ability to make Small Talk. How does he overcome his social ineptitude? In The Incendiary Man, a group of people are on the run from a fiery monster. Funny thing is nobody seems to be aware of this menace but them. An immature, out-of-work daydreamer buys a Saturday night special and plots a murder in Unemployment Benefits.
