An anthology of absurd, dark humor short stories featuring a cast of utterly ridiculous characters, including:
Norman the Insurance Salesman (who aspires to great insurance-related things),
Bob the Evil Milkman (delivering more than just dairy),
Ben the Bus (who, to be honest, overrreacts a bit),
Kevin the Wizard (spoiler: he’s a complete dick),
And Emmanuel the Wall (…who is, quite literally, a wall).

Think Monty Python. Think The Mighty Boosh. Think Douglas Adams.
Imagine Terry Pratchett and Franz Kafka get drunk in a pub, get kicked out for being too weird, and decide to write a book together.

WHY??

Well, I've always wanted to write a book, but my attention span is lacking (I've even been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder!), so being able to write the traditional novel is just not a thing for me right now.  However, I can write short stories.

Now, short stories don't sell.  Any website that advises people trying to make it as an author tells you that.  But I tend to write short stories.  They're a few pages long.  To be honest, they're the right length for when you're on the toilet.

Also, my book isn't long enough.  Books should be over 60,000 words.  I'm not there. I'm around 17,500 words.

So, I know my book isn't going to sell.  Furthermore, it's in fairly bad taste.  A lot of the stories have a lot of death and/or sex in it, they're silly, and sensibilities are offended by them.

But I like them.

I have one qualification for the story to make it into the book - and that is that it should make me laugh.  If I'm not smiling when I read it back, it's not going in (and there's a stack of stories I wrote that haven't made it into the book because of that).

I've also been careful with some of the stories to try to ensure that there isn't gender bias or shit like that.  People can be great, nice, lovely, alright, annoying, and outright dicks.  And they can swap between these (I know I do).  Your race, gender, religion, whatever other qualities, don't matter.  They don't affect your behaviour. Your behaviour affects your behaviour.

Beyond that, there's few limits.  There's a story about a being from Norse mythology.  There's a story about Alan the Demon.  And there's a story about Norman the Insurance Salesman (plus his nemesis, Bob).
