In order to help celebrate the pending publication of Hazardous Imaginings: The Mondo Book of Politically Incorrect Science Fiction, I’ve put out one of my favorite short stories as a 99-cent Kindle short, “The Man Who Would Be Kong”.
An elderly man, Max Strauss, retired in Miami Beach, visits an entrepreneur who is about to open a King Kong-themed restaurant. Max claims to have portrayed the giant gorilla in the 1933 classic film. But everyone knows that King Kong was actually an 18″ tall animated model, don’t they? So is Max an attention-seeking fraud? Or is he something far greater?
