Awkward Two: Brevity

by Heather Clitheroe, Wayne Scheer, Kyle Jarrow

The villains at Awkward Press are at it again with Awkward Two, a collection of tales so fiendishly inventive they can barely be contained by the rigid boundaries of their wood-pulp prison. The experience begins with the glorious front cover, a charming take on the theme of "Brevity" that has been lovingly hand-penciled by illustrious illustrator Baarbarian. Peel back the cover and find yourself transported to an unexpected world in which pirates hold court over human resources departments, house painters become religious leaders, and ants show up in the most unlikely of places.

Awkward Two features thirty-three original short works by twenty-five of the modern world's finest scribes in a package that is at once sophisticated and refreshingly humble. Designed by lauded New York graphics-artistry firm Rumors, Awkward Two is brimming with stories guaranteed to shock and amaze. Step inside its welcoming pages and immerse yourself in cracking-good tales









. . . and twenty-six other devilishly imaginative scenarios that must be read to be believed!
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! The electronic edition of Awkward Two also features 5 film adaptations of stories from the book ... playable on electronic reading devices of all shapes and sizes! A modest fee shall secure your passage aboard this chariot of delights ... next stop, adventure!
