Howard Odentz

Howard Odentz is a life-long resident of Western Massachusetts, where he divides his time between writing and tending a small farm. His love of animals, along with the lore of the region, often finds its way into his stories. The supernatural plays a major role in Mr. Odentz's writing. He is endlessly fascinated by the psychological aspects of those who are thrown into otherworldly circumstances. In addition to Dead (A Lot), his first novel, he has penned two full length musical comedies. "In Good Spirits" is inspired by the real-life ghostly experiences of a community theatre group and their haunted stage. "Piecemeal" tells the backstory of Victor Frankenstein's Hollywood-created protégé, Igor. Visit the author at HowardOdentz.com.

THE NIGHT MY friends and I almost triggered the next ice age, I was with Danny McDermott and Jackie Kagan. We had been driving around the Western Massachusetts hill towns for hours, hitting all our usual hangouts, looking for something good to smoke, but we weren’t having any luck. Greenfield Center was dry. So was Covered Bridge and Purgatory Chasm, and I wasn’t about to drive all the way down the Mass Pike to the Chicopee Projects.

I’d like to think we weren’t that desperate.

Tyler? Jackie muttered from the back seat of my pickup in a voice that was probably deeper than mine. Are you sure you don’t have any roaches in your ashtray?

You smoked them last weekend, I reminded her.

Oh, she grumbled. Well that sucks balls. Jackie slouched, her arms folded over her almost non-existent chest, and pouted. Since pouting wasn’t exactly in Jackie’s arsenal because she was basically a dude in a girl-suit, she just looked pissed off.

You have balls? quipped Danny, who was the polar opposite of Jackie. That’s awesome. I didn’t even know you got a pair installed.

Yeah, sneered Jackie from the back seat. I’ll get you the name of my doctor. Someday those little peas of yours are going to need an upgrade. Even in the dark chill of the autumn night, I could tell she was probably smiling a little.

To say Danny was effeminate was an understatement.
