The Benaroya Chronicles

​The Benaroya Chronicles are an outrageously extraterrestrial look at the human condition.
    When a team of alien anthropologists comes to Earth in replicated bodies, attempting to pass for human based on historical documents, old movies and pop culture, there ensues madcap action and a gleeful skewering of everything (we think) it means to be human.

​Rysemians are here to help us evolve. Or Else. First they must defeat archfiend Scaulzo, worshiped as the Prince of Darkness across many galaxies, but can the devil ever really be tamed? ​

Freewheeling cadet Benaroya has a plan so audacious it might just succeed:
  • Recruit Virginia Woolf’s lover, lesbian vampire Sterling O'Blivion; send her to the mothership for training and rehab by George Patton and Nancy Reagan. 
  • Detail Abe Lincoln and Douglas MacArthur to the 1950's to unravel the Gordian knot of human history, master the nuances of being a "respected male leader," and survive Scaulzo's Agony Organ horrorshow that hypnotically invades their thoughts. 
  • Tapdance America's child-sweetheart to superstardom as a Rysemian evangelist. ("'I come to you humans from across the void,' Shirley roared in pulpits everywhere— standing on a pile of books.”)
  • Spring the ultimate, high-stakes trap for the devil; Benaroya the bait, Earth's fate  in the balance.

Can a seven hundred year old Transylvanian find true love with a revolutionary Rysemian
​fish-woman?  ​Intro by Ted Sturgeon


​After seven hundred years, Glamorous vampire Sterling O’Blivion has begun to think the joy is going out of life. Then she meets Virginia Woolf in the ladies’ room of a dance studio in Chicago. But Woolf is really Benaroya, a dolphin-like alien anthropologist here to learn all there is to know about humanity and to fight the good fight against the evil, slave-trading Sajorians. Sterling falls madly in love with Benaroya. It’s just the sort of romp an aging vampire needs—but first, to defeat the Sajorians, they have to sell millions of Famous Men’s Sperm Kits to every woman on Earth. ​
