Crazy America: where fact meets fiction


Launched in 2019, Crazy America is a first of a kind news and popular fiction website. It blends offbeat dispatches about real events from across the country with gripping short stories inspired by those very same happenings.


Our mission is to chronicle that which is striking or shocking in everyday interactions, to document the odd but authentic and, in doing that, to capture the essence of the human condition across America.


We offer news that others can’t or won’t cover. And we also offer storytelling guided by that news.
Our fiction writers craft gripping stories, exploring crime, punishment, and the human experience in 21st Century America in vivid detail. Each story reimagines events, offering fresh perspectives on contemporary American life. However, while they may be inspired by real events, all stories on this part of the website are works of fiction and not direct retellings of news stories. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is therefore coincidental.
