"Norm Siever delivers on the book's title, and more. Ifs the funniest book I've ever read." - - - J A " 'Ballet dancing really keeps you on your toes.' Great intro to a non-stop page turner. Couldn't put it down until I finished."- - - R.H. " 'Darryl Strawberry daiquiri. Eggs Benedict Arnold Schwarzenegger.' Enough said." - - - M.S"Abortions, AR-15s, rock and roll, bar pickup routine, sports, food, doctors, gangstas, the mafia. You name it, Norm turns 'em all into comedy." - - - B.S."Siever turns left wing vs right wing politics into a standup routine. I'd vote for him if he ran for office. Of course he'd probably demand a recount if he won." - - - R.H "Sparks are flying between Norm's alter ego Mel and waitress Mindy. Looking forward to the two in a follow up book." - - - J.G "I love his Both Sides Now talk show idea hosted by a liberal and a conservative. Conflict makes for great entertainment. CNN, FOX, and MSNBC always put me to sleep. Looking forward to the actual show in a follow-up book." - - - B.T

TERRY PRATCHETT meets THE WITCHER in this pee-your-pants-laughing fantasy novel.Sure, you think you know the story of the fearsome red dragon, Dragonia. How it terrorized the village of Skendrick until a brave band of heroes answered the noble villagers' call for aid. How nothing could stop those courageous souls from facing down the beast. How they emerged victorious and laden with treasure.But, even in a world filled with epic adventures and tales of derring-do, where dragons, goblins, and unlicensed prestidigitators run amok, legendary heroes don't always know what they're doing. Sometimes, they're clueless. Sometimes, beleaguered townsfolk are more hapless than helpless. And orcs? They're not always assholes, and sometimes, they don't actually want to eat your children.Heloise the Bard, Erithea's most renowned storyteller, is here to set the record straight.See, it turns out adventuring isn't easy, and true heroism is as rare as an articulate villager. Having spent decades propagating this particular myth (which, incidentally, she wrote), she's finally able to tell the real story...for which she just so happened to have a front-row seat.Welcome to Erithea. I hope you brought a change of undergarments; things are going to get messy."Evoking the dry humor of Terry Pratchett and absurdist trope subversions of Monty Python...Gibson's story is clever, twisty, and bursting with sidesplittingly funny one-liners.

Fletcher, M.L. Spencer, or Rob J. Hayes." - Grimdark Magazine"I can't praise the story enough. If you want something light-hearted and fun to read that will zip by quickly, but still want to feel like you got the content you hoped for, this is definitely the book you should pick up." - The Inkslinger Book Reviews"Mr. Sean Gibson would be extremely fun to play Dungeons and Dragons with." - Verified Reviewer

[STARRED REVIEW] "Readers will find themselves delighted, intrigued, and often moved by the love, pain, and wonder of these finely written drabbles...thoroughly extraordinary."--Kirkus The internationally bestselling author of Griffin & Sabine returns with his newest literary mystery--a charming assemblage of his own illustrated stories. Each of the invitingly strange tales is paired with its own glyphic creature (perhaps created by Sabine herself). Little is known of the fascinating manuscript that Nick Bantock has come to possess. It was discovered in an attic in North London, stuffed into a battered cardboard box, and unceremoniously delivered directly to Nick's doorstep. Inside the package lay one hundred evocatively absurd stories, one hundred humorous drawings of strangely familiar, quirkish glyphs, plus a cryptically poetic note signed only as "HH." (Possibly the well-known, eccentric billionaire, Hamilton Hasp?) In these stories-each consisting of precisely 100 words-strange creatures slip through alleyways, and eerie streets swallow people whole. Taken altogether, they may constitute a puzzle that no one has been able to solve thus far. Could there even be one missing story? For those perceptive readers with a curious mind, the celebrated author of Griffin & Sabine cordially invites you to find your own path through his beguiling conundrum of drabbles--or even to contribute one of your very own.

Internationally published bestselling author Jon Smith makes his adult debut with The Fifth Horseman, a modern comic fantasy that rides roughshod over established mythology and the rules of life... and death. The Fifth Horseman is a darkly comic tale of two thirty-somethings caught between our world and the afterlife, who must embrace their role as reapers to prevent the End Times. Death is just a day job you can't quit... Emma and Mark had a bad day. The worst part of it was dying. But, according to Death, the Rider on the Pale Horse and first horseman of the apocalypse, things aren't that simple. Turns out the sand in their hourglass is stuck in place. Somewhere between life and death, they're put to work as Death's assistants, reaping the souls of the living until it's time for their final clock out... To compound matters, despite their omnipotence, the four horsemen are facing an existential threat - one they're ill-equipped and ill-prepared to combat. Does Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx, have more up his sleeve than just the coins proffered by the dead to secure passage to the afterlife? And why do you never see baby pigeons? Emma and Mark must reap like their afterlives depend on it, to help prevent the End Times - even if it means scuppering the one opportunity they have at being granted a second chance at life. Filled with humour, romantic tension, and suspense, Jon Smith utilises a witty, lightly sarcastic ensemble of flawed but loveable characters. It will appeal to mainstream fantasy readers and hopeless romantics, as well as those who enjoy a good story and a good laugh.
