This is the "About Us" section for The DCM? Ugh! Those guys? Fine. Ah-hem... The Drunken Comicbook Monkeys are a trio of functioning alcoholics who write comedic speculative fiction. As to the funniness of their comedy, well, that's up to you to decide.

Please check back often to keep up to date with the newest ways The DCM will make you laugh. Or cry. Or both. You never know with these guys.

BRIAN KOSCIENSKI
Brian developed his love of writing from countless hours of reading comic books, losing himself in the different worlds and adventures within the colorful pages. He had minor successes early in his career by getting a few short stories published in independent ‘zines before teaming up with Chris and Jeff.
CHRIS PISANO
Chris was discouraged by his tenth grade English teacher from reading H. P. Lovecraft. Being naturally disobedient, Chris has been a fan ever since. He had minor successes early in his career by getting a few poems published before joining forces with Brian and Jeff.
JEFF YOUNG
Jeff Young is a bookseller first and a writer second – although he wouldn’t mind a reversal of fortune. He received a Writers of the Future award for “Written in Light” which appears in the 26th L.Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Anthology. The speed of his life jumped to warp 10 once he met Brian and Chris.
NOVELS
Mayhem Menagerie
Satan's Petting Zoo, book 2
After learning a little more about their lycanthropy, Chad and his friends are now free to explore what college life has to offer in the tri-city area known as The Bends. Or are they?
While Cooper joins the Lacrosse team, Kyle joins the eSports team, and Heston reshapes his body, Chad learns about a new and dangerous pack of lycanthropes coming to claim The Bends as their new territory. He and his friends gather information from their sworn enemies – the jocks – and form an uneasy alliance with The Ink Stains, a group of predatory lycanthropes with a history of eating people, while keeping their abilities secret from their parents, who are spending more time with a pair of lycanthrope hunters.
Old threats are new friends. Trusted allies show signs of betrayal. In a race against time, Chad and his friends must piece together an ever-changing puzzle as the past tries to ruin the future.
Satan's Petting Zoo
Chad and his friends have a bully problem. The quarterback who harassed them for years is now on their college football team and eager to pick up where he left off. The Ink Stains, a gang of local thugs, offer to help Chad. He’s grateful until he learns the truth – they are a pack of lycanthropes who slaughter and eat a few of the tormenting football players. In a misguided attempt to take control of their lives by releasing their own inner beasts, Chad and his friends discover a way to become lycanthropes. When they change, they do not transform into the powerful werecreatures they had hoped. Instead, their inner beasts are a rabbit, a pheasant, a ferret, and an ox.
The Ink Stains are anxious to eat them. A group of football players want revenge for their missing teammates. A pair of lycanthrope hunters with dubious intentions could help them or turn on them. They’re still trying to keep this a secret from their parents. It’s one thing to act like an animal, but what happens when you become one?
