[edit] Brian Horeck

Non-notable, self-published writer with one book, Minnow Trap, to his credit. The claim on his website that 16,000 copies have sold, while unverifiable, is unlikely as the book is not so much as listed on Amazon.ca nor Chapters.Indigo.ca, Curiously, the author's website claims that the book is available through Chapters.Indigo.ca and that other Indigo-owned company Coles.

• Delete — NN. I was able to find a paperback version of his book Minnow Trap at the regular Amazon website, however it seems no one has purchased it judging from its sales rank of zero. [1] Also, only 81 ghits for this author. 81 Dionyseus 03:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I, too, noticed the Amazon.com listing - and will add that the publisher recorded, Friesen's [sic], is in fact, a printer. Strange that Horeck isn't listed on his own country's Amazon site.Victoriagirl 03:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Apparently self-published, unverifiable. The only reviews I can find here use phrases like "the fabled WORST NOVEL EVER WRITTEN!" and "this is without a doubt the worst novel I have ever read." Fan-1967 03:48, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Self-published Friesens can help you to get your book published. However, remember that we are book manufacturer…not book publishers. Dlyons493 Talk 04:14, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Let me get this straight: aliens invade Earth and their first target is northern Ontario??? [2] If the book was declared the worst ever (by whoever declares these things) it would be notable. As for now it's just a sci-fi novel with a bit of local colour.
