Humor Short

“They Are Everywhere” is a story that combines the elements of the most spine-tingling supernatural horror with the funniest comedy.

Make no mistake though, the terror is real; it’s the witless protagonists and their incredibly inappropriate reactions that give the story its humor.

Time-travelers, bag ladies, insomniac cats, wide-boy whales, headless horsemen, Polish plumbers, little piggy home-owners, and partially-sighted mice - something for everyone in this short-tale anthology of the absurd.

The Moron at the End of This Book is an insightful, self-scrutinizing memoir about the highs and woes of a life, perhaps not well-lived, but, well, lived. With a collection of short stories and love letters to the living and the dead, author Andrew Couch calls upon nearly 40 years of impulsive actions, unusual friendships, odd jobs, and a careworn moral compass to deliver a mercifully one of a kind account of a man in search of approval from his child self.

This is stream of consciousness writing. This is that search for something within that we all must go through one day to find it.
