Dark Humor Satire

Der erste Schelmenroman der Weltliteratur als Hörbuch. Jedes Mal, wenn Lazarillo einen seiner Herren verlässt, weil er es nicht mehr bei ihm aushält, kommt er vom Regen in die Traufe. Ist der erste grausam und geizig, lässt der zweite ihn fast verhungern. Und als er endlich einen findet, der wie ein Edelmann aussieht, stellt sich heraus, dass dieser in Wirklichkeit noch mehr Hunger leidet als er selbst. Also muß Lázaro auch noch für seinen Herren betteln gehen, der sich am Ende aber nicht einmal dankbar erweist.

Customer service manager Bob Thomassoulo gets more than he bargained for when he decides to go to Mexico and take revenge on the man who took his job. Accompanying him to Tijuana are his two best friends, Bacho and Doyle, who become entangled in a separate tale about digging for gold. This is an absurd tale of revenge, gold lust, friendship, darts, love, and political revolution. Oh, it's also about what makes a rock classic a classic.

Little did the obscure novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton know in 1830 when he penned that most relished, imitated, and lampooned opening sentence in English literature, "It was a dark and stormy night..." that his words would inspire countless aspiring writers struggling incessantly like boats against the current to emulate his unparalleled style and that his name would grace "The Bulwer-Lytton Contest" honoring his most successful followers. Get it? Abounding in shameless sentences, this audio rendition of the original contest is a hilarious - even perversely instructive - collection of skilled, inept writing. Compiler Scott Rice is a professor of English at San Jose State University and the creator of the contest. The narrators include Marni Webb, Ray Nakamoto, Rachel Songer, and Bob Nathan.

Gerade als seine Mutter den Führerschein macht, lässt der Gemeinderat eine Fußgängerampel aufstellen, mit fatalen Folgen für Mensch und Tier.

This comic novel, told in epistolary fashion as a sequence of exchanged letters, presents pornographer "Guy LaDouche" retreating to the wilderness with the hope of solitude and concentration to write his next book under a looming deadline. Instead of peace, he finds harassment and distraction from his publisher, his old girlfriend, and an angry father convinced that LaDouche's last novel, featuring a genuine nymphomaniac, was based on the man's daughter.

Emily Schmidt has been locked away in an asylum for a long week since DilDozer first struck, but she can still feel his presence inside her. Breed. Incubate. Multiply. Repeat. Are you ready for the second cumming?

The TGSPGoSSP is a bit of a comedic acting troupe. Their 2-Part Trilogy mocks our beloved niches in genre fiction. All three books take the usual shots at the usual suspects, both fantasy and sci-fi. If you like dark, deadpan humor and satire such as Monty Python, this title might be your cup of tea.
