Antichrist Superstar
Author: Timothy H. Sexton
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1893652130
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The trouble all started when that Yankee playwright Anton O’Masia came into town. He hooked up with old Duke Forberry in Forberry’s latest attempt to turn rust into gold. Duke had bought the old Ritz Theatre and planned to open up competition against the Fountain of Youth Theatre, you see. Well, that Yankee writer wrote this musical called “Antichrist, Superstar!” and Forberry put it on. You can just imagine how a play with that title went over down here in the South. It didn’t take long for Rev. Matthew Schaffner to get some protestors picketing up and down in front of the theatre. They were led by that John Elway lookalike Tony Truwiss. Like Anton said, that boy could eat corn off the cob through a football facemask. Tony sure did know how to put on a protest, though. He had Schaffner’s older daughter Beth with him and that pretty little Erica Withershins, too. She’s actually the one who got everything started by going to Rev. Schaffner and telling him about the play in the first place. A lot of people figured she did it to get even with her ex-best friend Callie Pygusse, who was the star of the play. (Not to mention sleeping with her director, Anton). Considering how much things got out of hand and we started making the national news, it’s actually a surprisingly funny story. When I got the idea to make a book out of it, it was already the most exciting thing to happen to our little town in years. And that was well before Callie took off her clothes onstage and Beth’s sister Mary revealed Pastor Schaffner’s big secret and we all found out the shocking truth about Erica.

Hyperbole and a Half
Author: Allie Brosh
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451666187
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
