What is The Overwhelming Urge about?
Product DescriptionIt is a world where men wake up with laser beams for eyes and wives play sadistic practical jokes. It is a world where body parts randomly fall off and fathers turn into antelopes. In this world, vampires and spontaneous combustions are a constant threat. THE OVERWHELMING URGE is a collection of bizarro flash fiction, containing ridiculous characters and absurd stories reminiscent of David Lynch and Franz Kafka. Written at knifepoint in a burning room, this book will make you think of a dirty comedian raving from Freud's couch. From the Inside Flap"The comedy brings to mind the darker moments of Mr. Show, Kids in the Hall and the Upright Citizen's Brigade." - GARRETT COOK, author of Jimmy Plush, Teddy Bear Detective"If prose-poet Russel Edson could possibly get stranger and weirder than he already is, he'd write flash fiction like Andersen Prunty." - RICH RISTOW, author of Into the Cruel Sea"Nice. 66 shocking little dreams, told starkly and without pretension, that somehow add up to an inner landscape painting of tiny victories and aching defeats." - MYKLE HANSEN, author of Help! A Bear is Eating Me!"It's funny, weird funny. Bizarro funny. Absurd, gross funny." -
