One half of the indie comedic rock duo The Flight of the Concords is the man behind Ronald Chevalier, author of such titles as Cyborg Harpies and Brain Cream.  His new web­site is a bit of a blog along with sam­ples of his work.  Warning, the web­site talks.  Kind of creep­ily too. But hilarious!

I think what cracks me up most about this is that I’ve heard so many authors at cons talk like this guy. Hell, I’m sure I’ve come off sound­ing like this too from time to time if I’m being hon­est.  Jared Hess has done his research. Be sure to check out the Gallery and the bio page. Also note that he’s won a “Cluster Award.”  My new life ambi­tion is to also win a Cluster Award.  It is clearly a pres­ti­gious and sig­nif­i­cant award in the field.

Not only is Chevalier a spot-​​on par­ody of authors them­selves, his web­site is a fan­tas­tic par­ody of a lot of really bad SF author web­sites.  The gar­ish col­ors, the unnec­es­sary sound… about the only thing right is that it’s built on WordPress.

The whole thing is rem­i­nis­cent of Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, which if you haven’t seen, is also pretty funny, if you go for that kind of weirdo british humor.
