Novel Deviations

by Evil Editor

Authors submit the opening lines of their books. Other authors write continuations to those openings. The goal: to maintain the original author's tone while taking the book in an unexpected and hilarious direction. Herewith, a collection of 90 such "New Beginnings," culled from Evil Editor's popular blog.

About the author

Despite a million visitors to his groundbreaking, hilarious blog, and despite making the careers of almost as many best-selling authors as he's destroyed, and despite attaining the status of world's most famous editor in less time than most editors spend creatively editing their résumés after getting fired, Evil Editor remains the same humble fellow he was when God hired him to edit the Bible (which he found unreadable and riddled with stilted prose--and for which, by the way, he has yet to see a dime).

Very interesting concept but the continuations seemed fairly predictable.
