SHATNERQUAKE pits Shatner vs. Shatners

Thursday, April 30, 2009


Faced with the press release for Jeff Burk's Shatnerquake, words fail me. I am struck dumb with awe that such a book actually exists. This is simultaneously one of the most stupid and most awesome ideas I've heard in years.

It’s Shatner VS Shatners!


It’s the first ShatnerCon with William Shatner as the guest of honor! But after a failed terrorist attack by Campbellians, a crazy terrorist cult that worships Bruce Campbell, all of the characters ever played by William Shatner are suddenly sucked into our world. Their mission: hunt down and destroy the real William Shatner.


Featuring: Captain Kirk, TJ Hooker, Denny Crane, Rescue 911 Shatner, Singer Shatner, Shakespearean Shatner, Twilight Zone Shatner, Cartoon Kirk, Esperanto Shatner, Priceline Shatner, SNL Shatner, and – of course – William Shatner!


So, basically this sketch... But an entire book of it. That book cover is not an entry in a Worth1000 contest, or a gag on Cracked.com. It belongs to an actual book. (Click the cover to buy the book on Amazon.) I can't wait to hear what the Shat himself thinks of it all.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
