Stories that Peck at the Edges of Humanity

Darkly funny, deeply human fables that wander the borderlands between wonder and ruin. Clay Hurtubise writes about the sacred absurdity of being alive — where humor flickers through heartbreak, and a single act of kindness can outshine the end of the world.

Welcome to the world of Clay Hurtubise

Here, talking birds question morality, priests wrestle with their faith, and machines debate the meaning of mercy. His stories cross genres and languages, blending fable, reflection, and a dash of apocalypse. You’ll laugh, you’ll think, and somewhere between the lines, you might recognize yourself.

Every Creature Has a Story, Even the Broken Ones

If you’ve ever laughed when you shouldn’t

or questioned your place in the universe, you’re already part of these stories. Clay’s work balances empathy with irony, tragedy with absurdity — the way real life does. His characters stumble, forgive, and fail spectacularly, but always reach for something better, even if they can’t name it.

Pull up a chair

Clay Hurtubise writes to remind us that even the strangest stories are human stories. There’s dark humor, yes — but always with light behind it. Step inside, meet the characters, and see what’s left of us when the laughter fades.
