Publisher's Summary

Make sure the kids aren't around! Just because you're a grown-up doesn't mean you can't enjoy the art of the children's bedtime story. Nick Offerman presents this collection of 15 short stories written in the style of a classic kid's tale, but with a decidedly dark and adult approach.

What really happened after Snow White died, from the perspective of the one medically trained dwarf? A naive wizard professor reports back from the trenches of an underprivileged school of magic. A middle age man is haunted by the voices of his own aging body.

The stories will make you laugh, cry and probably squirm a little. All performed by actors like Patrick Stewart, Alia Shawkat, Elliot Page, Mike Birbiglia, and many more.

Impossible to delete from my library

I only looked at this series out of curiosity. Never listened to anything. And three years later, I still cannot delete it from my library.

Humorous and delightfully strange.

The variety is great! These short stories are ridiculous in all the best ways, quick easy and satisfying!

Entertaining

They have been pretty funny so far(I'm 2 in). They have a good beginning and climax but lack a good conclusion to the stories so far. Still worth the laugh

Virtue Signalling Nonsense....

This was horrible to try to listen to. While I was OK with one of the stories, most of what I heard was politically correct nonsense. The Evangelical Hollywood Left needs to stop or it will destroy any credibility it has left. Time to move on, boys and girls. Go and listen to Mikail Bulgakov, Mark Twain, Jane Austen, or some other real literature and leave this junk behind.
