When i first saw the title of this book i knew I had to read it. There is something fun about reading stories that are short and unhinged. Stories like Chicken Car, you're doing too much, Shakespeare said a thing, The $10,000 John Wayne Magnum Opus and John Smith's Great day were so dark and twisted you went from entertained to uncomfortable in no time.
