Tameless piston of the American Dream

John Adam Gosham was born in Adams, North Dakota on November 6, 1984, the day Ronald Reagan was re-elected President of the United States of America. His father was a raging but affable alcoholic, his mother a high-functioning astrologer. A rebellious child, little Johnny Gosham excelled in the sciences, and was an avid reader therein. From a  young age he spurned all fictions, though he'd make exceptions for the occasional creature feature. He received a full scholarship to a local cow college and moved away with intentions of doing science for a living. The dream didn't last long -- only two weeks, in fact. John Adam made an abrupt about-face when he accidentally read Kurt Vonnegut's "Welcome to the Monkey House", mistaking it for non-fiction. He promptly gave up science in favor of literature, embarking on a quest to write the perfect story to carry on Vonnegut's legacy. Within days, he'd dropped out of college, realizing at age seventeen that he was smarter than all his professors. He spent the better part of the next two decades couch-surfing, taking his entertainment exclusively from slasher flicks and erotic thrillers on VHS. In 2014, he wrote and self-published the novel The Stink Ape: An Erotic Ensemble. Everything he's written since then has been a let-down, as he could never reclaim the pinnacle that was The Stink Ape.

But enough with the third-person façade. My name's John Adam Gosham, and this is my personal blog. Call me a schlockmeister, a gore-hound, or even a goddamn comedian. It doesn't matter. All I care about is getting paid and maybe making some part of you hitch, hiccup or harden in the process. Welcome to the monkey house.
