New Audiobook - WE ALL LIVE IN A FASCIST POLICE STATE NOW, THANKS TO THIS ONE FUCKING GUY

Hi everybody!

You might remember that a short while ago, I released WE ALL LIVE IN A FASCIST POLICE STATE NOW, THANKS TO THIS ONE FUCKING GUY. It weirdly feels more relevant than ever, but I'm not psychic or anything. Oh, by the way, avoid that third house on the left on December 3rd.

Anyway, the book! First I wanted to terrorize you through your eyes, and now I'd love to disturb you through your ears. WALI is now available as an audiobook!


It happened here. Fascism came, wrapped in the flag and carrying a Bible.

Nobody much noticed.

Sure, a few traitors like to whine about their missing "rights," but it's up to the heroes of the Federal Bureau of Patriotism to silence them.

When someone starts spilling FBP secrets, Captain Leo Nergali is assigned to track him down. But wait, Leo himself *is* the mole? Record scratch!

Buy this fucking book to see how Leo censors the arts, disappears his enemies, and perhaps even finds jackbooted love.

(Originally published as a Kindle Vella original.)








This isn't as talked about some of my other books because it's not my "usual" style, but I hope you'll give it a shot!


If you'd like to get a copy (in either audiobook, print, or eBook format), it's available HERE.


See ya!

YES, I AM A VAMPIRE New Audiobook!

Hey everyone,

I have a new audiobook out, and I'm extra excited about it because the narrator I have on board is spectacular. Adharsh McCabe has been a performer for his whole career (you might already know him from his decades of work with exotic animals), and lucky for me, he has turned some of his attention to audiobooks!

YES, I AM A VAMPIRE is my recently released collection of short stories AND autobiography, and now you get to ingest it through the Adharsh's dulcet tones.


 The Collected Short Fiction and Autobiography of Stephen Kozeniewski, 2013-2016


Despite all the evidence to the contrary, I swear I am not a vampire. Cross my heart and…eh, nevermind.

Just trust me, there are no vampires within these pages. Plenty of zombies, though. One of the short stories in this book features a zombie caveman, for instance. And another is called Exploding Shit Zombies. You can probably guess what that one’s about.

Not every story is zombie-themed, of course. I’ve also got a monster under the bed piece that’s pretty fucking scary. And in another, a bunch of little alien goblins take over a farmstead.

This isn’t just a short story collection, either. Half of it’s my autobiography. I guarantee you’ve never seen those two styles mashed together before.

I also guarantee you’ve never seen any fucking vampires before. Not here. Not anywhere. So let’s just drop it.

What do you mean, bloodstains all over the book? Don’t worry about those. Just wipe the gore off your fingers and dive in to…

Yes, I Am A Vampire



YES, I AM A VAMPIRE is for sure one of my more unique books. Whether that's good or bad...well...you decide! You can get it in paperback, eBook, and now audiobook from the link below:
