Danger Dan: TV Is Not Real Life - But It Is for This Guy. Danger Dan, Purveyor of Puns, Punches and Pudge, Lives in Character.
ISBN: 9781470022914 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. TV is not real life-but it is for this guy. Danger Dan, fantasy action hero and purveyor of puns, punches and pudge, has been a Saturday Morning cartoon star for years. Now he lives in-character even when the cameras aren't rolling. But when an old friend comes calling, it sparks an identity crisis that threatens to tear his show apart. "Danger Dan" is so tongue-in-cheek it goes deeper until it licks your brain. The action toons that so define our youth, the ones that catch us again when we're older as PG-13 blockbusters with more raspy-voiced muscle men, were priceless. But living in one is...

Every one of his colleagues is a suspect. But whodunit? This novel charts the intrigues of the faculty members of the English department at Oakham College as they attempt to solve the murder mystery, as they entangle themselves in a complex, convoluted series of (mis)adventures, where the solution to the mystery could result in yet another murder.

Walrus Tales
ISBN: 9781936383542 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Welcome to "Walrus Tales"-the only anthology of walrusian fiction on the planet. Herein, find tales of all stripes: horrific, satiric, comedic, tragic, erotic, and a bunch of other "-ic" and "non-ic" words, like "Lovecraftian" and "Bizarro."
Why devote an entire anthology to walruses? Perhaps I admire their large ivory tusks and wish I had a set of my own. Perhaps I sense something vaguely mystical about them and wonder if they're privy to ancient secrets. Perhaps a walrus saved my grandfather from drowning off the coast of Greenland. In the end, it doesn't matter. "Walrus Tales" is here,... Welcome to "Walrus Tales"-the only anthology of walrusian fiction on the planet.

Commercials, flyers, adverts of all kinds and just the general detritus we all must wade through every single day to live in a modern global economy. That's all. And, well, he's had it. He takes on one dimwitted...

Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it s not called the roach patrol for nothing). But first this being Hiaasen country Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more...

Also, a dystopian novel set in the imaginably near future, and exhibiting a roughly equal contempt for everyone's favorite utopian ideologies.

The stranger, both bedazzling and unnerving, effects an immediate messianic glow upon the bladder-wracked community of odds and sods, making disciples of the most unlikely characters. Chris Hill's visionary and delightfully bizarre novel reads like the gospel for a neophyte religion spawning in the sea foam among strange goings-on. It examines how destiny is the result of the collective will, especially among tribal folk who forever yearn to conform...

I cried. I thanked the Creator I'm not married to either of them. Greg Crites, author of Crusade Satire is difficult and this one slams it out of the park. This sort of cultural analysis has a long history... a form of burlesque epic that uses exaggeration and mockery to attain its result. I would categorize Waiting for...
