Neovella, Volume Not Safe for Work was written via the exquisite cadaver method. Each writer submitted his or her individual entries, of varying length, to their respective stories, which were then followed by additional written additions by their co-authors (friends or strangers). Over time and a period of variable amusement, stories manifested from the ether of their collective creativities. The web service that seamlessly enables this method can be found at www.neovella.com.Written by a total of 80 unique authors, this collection is composed of the following A Walk in the Park, Spoiled2.

Neovellas are written by multiple people in 5 minute turns or whatever, so the stories that come out are misjointed but can be hilarious. Some bits in here are pretty damn funny. The two stories about the abused kid were out of place, but whatever. There are lines that made me laugh out loud, so I guess this was worth 3 bucks. Nice work goons!
