Tour 8/12 - BOSTON, MA WITH PORTER SQUARE BOOKS AT THE BRATTLE THEATER TICKETS HERE   (SOLD OUT) ​ 8/13 - BROOKLYN, NY WITH POWERHOUSE BOOKS AT POWERHOUSE ARENA  TICKETS HERE 8/16 - CHICAGO, IL...

full tour here. LOW TICKET WARNING on a bunch of shows www.chucktingle.com/tour.html

gas works park in seattle with one of the old tanks smiling in a handsome way and a nice sentient coffee bag is nearby

SEATTLE BUCKAROOS some buds are waiting to get tickets assuming show CANT sell out because capacity is so large (650 buckaroos) but this morning i learned weve entered 'low ticket warning'. i am BLOWN AWAY. seattle do not wait. show is moments from selling out www.thirdplacebooks.com/event/chuck-...

the book as an artifact has a LOT of time over other mediums. this makes it SO powerful and beautiful. i agree buckaroo

YES that is one of the biggest things, you are so correct. in the 'big time' of other fields there are so many buckaroos who are actually just business folks who happen to work in movies. that is fine and they can be nice, but in publishing everyone involved is a BOOK PERSON in their dang heart

yes there is just something so ROMANTIC about it in every sense of the word. fun to think 'i want to see my name in LIGHTS' but seeing your name in a bookstore is just... dang.

NEVER would have guessed that as a young buckaroo. sorry if this is a meandering post, just kind of meditating on that today. feels like fate hit me with lightening twice but in the good direction. i am overwhelmed with gratitude.

i love writing, so the surprise isnt about that, its just that this was NOT the life trot i expected. a very strange place to be, reaching the sort of 'worldwide corporate distribution' level in two unrelated art fields with no crossover at all. and then to get to compare them. i like books the best

in early days of my other creative way (lets pretend acting) youd trot to the theater opening day to see the poster, maybe buy a ticket. its kinda the childhood dream i think. now i get to trot to the bookstore on release week and to the surprise of younger me i like seeing my book on the shelf more

dang all the reviews of LUCKY DAY comin in are so glowing and kind. i am honored and thankful that it has resonated in this way. when i was writing i very specifically thought to myself 'this is a BIG swing,' which can be scary as an artist, but what a treat to see it CONNECT so profoundly already

if you get LUCKY DAY from one of the book tour shows it will be signed. RUN OF THE EVENING is that i will sign books ahead of time then do about an hour long ONE BUCKAROO SHOW. quick Q AND A at the end and then take photos with everyone www.chucktingle.com/tour.html

wow love is endless. there really is no ceiling

THIS PROVES LOVE IS REAL

Chuck, as an autistic bud myself I'm having a little trouble understanding something and I hope you can explain. If your tinglers (Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt) aren't jokes, then... am I an asshole for laughing? Like--I find them funny. But if they aren't jokes then they aren't meant to be funny and I shouldn't be laughing. I don't mean to laugh at your sincerity. I feel bad for laughing at something if it isn't intended to be a joke/humor. Am I being a jackass? Or am I missing something?

this is a GREAT QUESTION thank you for asking. you are welcome to laugh at tinglers and i understand what some folks find funny about them. i often LEAN INTO these elements because it brings joy. all of that said, i PERSONALLY do not find them funny nor is the point of them to be a comedy. there may be laughter along the way, but it is not their CENTRAL GOAL to elicit laughter. i think of them as magical, joyful, strange, sexy, cute, sweet, absurd. i would put them in the category of magical realism or surrealist erotica. but i personally do not find them funny. thats just me though, buckaroos can take them however they want, thats the great thing about art. YOUR WAY PROVES LOVE TOO so feel free to laugh bud

GREAT follow up question on tumblr about me saying 'i am not doing a bit and my work is not some big joke'. someone asked is it okay to laugh at tinglers since they are not a joke which is very kind and thoughtful, but yes you certainly can. FULL ANWSER HERE www.tumblr.com/drchucktingl...

yes that is pretty close actually. only change i would make is that while these sides of me are close to equal i do not believe the trot is a perfect 50/50 split. i think the version of me with the pink bag over my head is slightly more of the REAL me (if that trot could ever be quantified)

We’re thrilled to be featuring a curated shelf by erotica, horror, and tingler(!!!) author Chuck Tingle! Chuck has picked a great list of “Las Vegas favorites” in honor of his new novel, LUCKY DAY, available 08/12: us.macmillan.com/books/9781250398659/luckyday

i think PART of this is theres some folks on left who decided to kind of harass me for being a 'mockery of queerness' or something and now its VERY HARD for them to correct course cause they would have to admit theyve been harassing a queer neurodivergent person for just kinda doin their thing

OH BUCKAROO you are all good i am sorry if anything negative trotted your way. tried to make sure buds knew it was just a share of ideas please let me know if anyone comes for you or anything. i will also give you a follow LOVE IS REAL

i also want to make it VERY CLEAR the buckaroo i am quoting in first post is great and i am not bein sarcastic or anything. sometimes i worry buds will feel attacked if i quote things like this and that is not intent. maybe even give this buckaroo a follow

'how is chuck tingle still making the same joke?' bud after ten years i dont know how i can keep explaining to you that this is not a joke

'something else more complex and weird than that but its not kayfabe' is perfect description, thank you buckaroo. amazing that after a decade theres still buds who think im doing a bit. whenever i see 'i dont think chuck tingles schtick is funny' i always think: dang you are SO CLOSE to getting it

Cover of Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle, designed to resemble a playing card (a king, specifically). The King on the top half of the card is on fire, a sword wielded by a dismembered hand piercing through his skull and shish-kebabing his eyeball, and there are rabbit’s heads speared on the tines of his crown. The King on the bottom half of the card is just a skull, blue-haired and also being stabbed by a sword. Tentacles protruding from every opening of the skull spear an eyeball, and there are four leaf clovers on each of the crown’s tines.

I found a copy of @chucktingle.bsky.social’s Lucky Day a week early and devoured it (MY lucky day). Tingle doesn’t miss: it’s a thrilling blend of sci-fi and horror full of unhinged setpieces and a treatise on bi visibility, as well as perhaps the purest distillation of his authorial ethos #Booksky
