More Stories About Spaceships and Cancer

Award-winning TV writer and filmmaker Casper Kelly brings his hilarious, absurdist, and dark vision to the page in this debut collection, perhaps the first with a horror host guiding you between the stories. Enter the mind of one of the seven dwarfs wrestling with his fevered sexual crush on Snow White. In another story, a cash-strapped elderly man in the future is quietly pressured to "retire" by having his brain put in a vat and live out the rest of his day in a virtual reality paradise. "Sex Fantasies at Work" follows an office drone who suspects he's always at work and his entire home life is merely implanted memories. Read what Charles Yu calls "one of the funniest books I've read in years," what Jack Pendarvis likened to Donald Barthelme by way of E.C. comics, and Joe Randazzo, the editor of The Onion, calls simply "f***ing awesome."

Like, at least three others. His cartoon strip, Fried Society, appeared in alt weekly newspapers across the country and his other creative work has been featured in Wired, Entertainment Weekly, online literary magazines, and various film festivals. He won an Annie. That's a fairly big animation award. Although it's no Emmy or Oscar, don't want to give you that impression. He lives in Atlanta. He is very tall and when people round a corner suddenly and see him they tend to involuntarily exclaim "Gah!". This is his first book.
