Community Pool
Come on in. The water’s fine in the
Community Pool.
Jerry Yatsko is the unrivaled bottom-dweller of Chubbuck, Idaho. The entire town can't stand him. His family does not respect him. His wife openly makes a mockery of their marriage. And worst of all, Jerry’s son Gabe is well on his way to becoming a full-blown dork.
But everything changes one summer day at the Cronke Community Pool when Jerry discovers a truly powerful weapon — access to a portal that blurs the lines between reality and dreamland. Will Jerry use this tool to punish the town who continually wrongs him, or to protect the people that he begrudgingly loves?
Keith James is a writer and performer from San Diego. He has trained and performed at Pack Theater, iO West, and UCB. Community Pool is his second novel, following the acclaimed dark comic fantasy Greg Maxwell’s Inferno. He also writes and hosts the Gus Basketball Legend audio series. One day, he will die.

Absolutely unhinged and ludicrous. Laughed out loud at every chapter. VERY raunchy, so if that’s not your thing you will probably think it’s a bit much. The author also does a podcast called Gus Biblowitz: Basketball Legend that is similar humor, which I also enjoy.
