The Shingles series is Rick Gualtieri’s most prolific project, with 60 entries published between 2018 and 2023. Each book is a short comedy horror story that parodies a different horror movie, monster trope, or pop culture phenomenon. The titles alone tell you what kind of series this is: entries like Sense and Sensibility and Sasquatch, I Know What You Dicked Last Summer, and Space Werewolf from Planet Sex give a pretty clear picture of the humor level.

The books are intentionally crude and irreverent, playing horror cliches for laughs rather than scares. Most are standalone stories, though some form mini-arcs within the larger series, like the G.I.R.L. sub-series that spans multiple entries. Shingles is designed for readers who want fast, funny reads that don’t take themselves seriously at all.

With new entries coming out at a rapid pace during its five-year run, the series built a dedicated following among fans of lowbrow comedy horror. The Shingles Audio Collection volumes bundle several stories together for listeners who prefer the audiobook format.
