About the author
Brian Yansky
44 books148 followersI write supernatural horror suspense comedy (a mix of dark humor, quirky, silly humor and satire.), .
I love many kinds of stories. I especially love off-beat, quirky stories with unusual characters and settings that have a sense of wonder and humor.…Falling in love with stories saved me from a life of crime (I’m only sort of kidding; they did save me from something). A lot of my main characters are adopted. Like them, I was adopted. I seem to write often about identity. I live in Austin, Texas. I have no horses or cowboy hats. I do have a 125 pound sheep dog. I’ve taught college, been a bartender and waiter and am now a full-time writer.
I've had five novels traditionally published and something like fifteen independently published. My independently published series, Strangely Scary Funny, is, by far, my most popular.
I like writing most anything. My grocery lists are excellent.

Original, funny, I read them straight through.
Pros: Original story line. Easy to read.
Cons: occasional incorrect word used or duplicate words (less so). Just distracting and only about 4 instances.
I am sure the part with the book characters talking to the main character are great for someone...i skip those pages. It doesn't do anything to push the story, interesting a little...but I'm not a fan of those parts.
Love Fluffy.
Sometimes, and this is not a complaint....I am surprised the book is ending. It's the style the writer uses.
these books do a great job of showing the main character and his girlfriend without the romance novel excerpts. I hate those! just keep it vague for me. :D
Can't wait for the next book or two!

Creepy but enjoyable read.
I’m surprised how much I enjoyed these first four books in this series. It’s an unusual story which gets more unusual the more you read. Main character is Kevin, son of Lucifer and expected to bring about Armageddon. But Kevin does not want to do that. He is also the Librarian in Eden (yes, that Eden), and responsible for the safety of Eden’s population. Which include; Witches, evil Wizard, a suspicious Mayor who may or may not be evil and a Zombie among others.

I really enjoyed reading this first of a series. The hero of the story is interesting and compelling. The ending had some unexpected twists which was a bonus. I also liked the author's sorta snarky sense of humor in the book. I look forward to reading the second installment.

absolutely one of my favorite reads!
Can’t even describe this, so check it out for yourself! I don’t think I’ve read something this weirdly witty and absurdly relevant in a while.

This series was not at all what I thought it would be. I found it strange did finish the 1st book started the 2nd and it is even stranger so I will not be finishing it.

Great series
Starts a little rough but the author really gets in the groove by book 2. After that, I couldn't put it down.

Very entertaining.
Enjoyed most of the stories. I am familiar with the Librarian stories on TV. Your writing is different but enjoyable.
