A is for Adam
The Forbidden Fruit.
Come on. Bite it. You know you want to.
The snake says it’s okay.
Eve says it’s okay.
You’re curious, aren’t you, Adam?
Bite it.
You bit it, didn’t you?
It’s all right; we all make mistakes. Paradise wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, anyway. From now on, you’ll have to make your own way. Just you and Eve and your trusty talking goat sidekick, Phil Collins.
The book of Genesis. How bad could it be? Take a bite and find out for yourself.

This ain’t your grandma’s fairy tale.
Jimmy DiFrenzo is the head of the Figarazzi family, one of the toughest mob families around. He loves his gabagool, his gold chains, and his chest hair. He lives in a nice suburban home with his adoring wife and child. The perfect, yet stereotypical, life of a Sicilian American. But he has secrets.

“Someone’s been using my hair gel!”
“Someone’s been eating my gabagool!”
“Someone’s been sleeping on my couch! And there she is!”
Just who is this blond bitch that has broken into Jimmy’s home? Did she really pick the wrong house, or does she have a plan? Perhaps she has secrets, too.
Come witness this oh-so-wrong retelling of an old classic. Get it now.

C is for Cookie
They’re the cookies that bite back!
OK, Gretel, Dad says we need to move out and get a job.
Don’t look at me that way.
Hey, we can do it together. It’ll be fun.
Yes. I know we have no skills.
Well, you know how all those long-haul cookie delivery drivers left on their routes and never came back?
It’s perfect. Guaranteed employment. People need their sweets.
What? Danger? Nah, we’ll be fine.
Hansel and Gretel are two long-haul truckers, a brother and sister team, whose work order is simple: Deliver a truckload of cookies cross-country to an old witch in the forest.
They stop to pick up their load and notice something isn’t right. Pastries shouldn’t be bleeding and screaming and trying to escape their boxes.
Once upon a time, in an orphanage, lived a rather ugly child. Picked on mercilessly by her peers until one by one the orphans went missing. Now an old witch with a cookie addiction, she sits alone in her mansion made of sweets, waiting for her delivery of baked goods with the one special ingredient in them.
Will Hansel and Gretel make their delivery on time? Will they make it out alive? Will Hansel finally admit that Gretel is the better driver?
Indulge your appetite and feast your eyes on this new twist on an age-old tale.

E is for Eyeball
Like reading Poe on mushrooms.
“A real mustn’t read.” -Every Critic Ever
Have you ever wanted to escape?
Ever wished you were a character in a story?
Be careful what you wish for.
I wanted that once, too.
And now here I am. And it sucks.
How did I get here?
What did I do to deserve this?
Trapped in the nightmarish world of Edgar Allan Poe
Sort of.
Why are these tales so much worse than the originals?
Why is everyone I meet so annoying? And what’s the deal with their wonky eyeballs?
E is for Eyeball is what happens when you put works of public domain into the hands of an incompetent lunatic.
Horrific. Hilarious. Ridiculous.
You’ll laugh till your eyes pop out.

F is for Frank
Franks Wurst is made of peeeeeeople!
My name’s Maria Shelton. I’m a cop.
…Well, private investigator, really.
….Ehh, no, I have no formal training or anything.
…Because I’m bored, that’s why.
In these last few generations, the world has seen such devastation.
The population has grown out of control. Resources are depleting. The horror of it all.
The solution?
Designer children.
Parents surrender their children from birth so that new ones can be made from the best parts.
Yeah, like Frankenstein.
The ones who aren’t so lucky grow up “Normal”.
Like me.
Lower class.
Unable to land good jobs.
Mistakenly killed by police with greater and greater frequency.
Some of us disappearing without a trace.
The world is almost out of food.
Frank’s, the popular hot dog chain, is no longer selling their world-famous wieners. Meat is no longer available.
Enter “Franks Wurst”, a new superfood sausage made up of plankton and God knows what else.
But I’m getting a feeling I know what “what else” is.
And I’m going to prove it if it’s the last thing I do.
And it just may be the last thing I do.
It’s Frankenstein meets Soylent Green. Mary Shelley meets Charlton Heston. A crazy tale that you’d come to expect only from this author.
By the way, he can’t tell you what Franks Wurst is made of, but what he can say is it is not not people.

Till one day a man comes by and gives him an enhancement pill that makes him sprout a giant boner
Which he climbs all the way up to Giant Land.
I mean, sure, we all know that part.
But from there, things take a twist.
From the weirdest author you know
Comes a surprisingly heartwarming tale.
One of love, family, and big old boners.

I is for Invasion
When strange seeds drift to Earth from space, mysterious pods begin to grow and invade San Francisco, replicating the city’s residents one body at a time. What’s so funny about that? Find out for yourself!
A hilarious sci-fi romp starring the likes of Leonard Nimoy, Donald Sutherland, and Jeff Goldblum. Although, this is the book, not the movie. So you’ll have to just picture them in these roles. Use your imagination. That’s why you’re reading in the first place and not watching the movie. If you didn’t want to use your imagination, you’d watch the movie.
An MST3K/ RiffTrax-style take on a movie that may have had intentions of being a serious remake of an even older film that also had intentions of being serious. From the author that brought you an MST3K/ RiffTrax-style take on a different movie. And also another one.

Will they save each other? Themselves? The world? How about when they discover the president is not actually human, and there may be more of his kind hiding among us?
“The worst thing you’ll read all year!” raves the general population.
“Fake News!” cries D.T.

NOVELS
Degrees of Separation
This book will steal your soul.
“This made my brain hurt.” -Anonymous Litigant

The surgeon on an acid trip.
Bootsy Collins.

Witness how the actions of one can affect the lives of many in these Degrees of Separation.

Those Eyes
Reincarnation. It ain’t for dummies.
”Reading this made me glad I never fell in love”- Lonely Man on Balcony
Ronnie and Helen. Two teenagers in love with marriage on the horizon. Till an accident cuts his life short.
The Archangels make sure his soul gets into a new body.
But they screw up.
Seriously. Ronnie can’t catch a break.
Those Eyes is a surrealist romantic comedy originally penned by a group of Benedictine monks in a trailer at a maple syrup protest rally. The manuscript went through several revisions, and even one book-burning demonstration, and is now nothing like the original text. It has been translated into one language: This one. It’s packed with extra comedy, a whole lot of love, a splash of the ghastly, and more than a touch of the bizarre.

MEME BOOKS
Know What I Meme
The author would like it to be known that he realizes he has no business making memes.
Up till a year ago, he couldn’t even pronounce the word.
It’s forgivable if someone pronounces “gif” with a hard “G”.
It is not forgivable if someone pronounces “meme” as “meh-may”,
The way one would say “grandmother” in Quebec.
