Now that you have dutifully purchased Dover Beach at its amazingly low price of $0.99, you will want to also purchase my friend Craig Shaw Gardner’s new funny fantasy novel Temporary Monsters. If you are wondering whether this novel is worth the $4.27 that Penguin Group (USA) LLC is charging for it, I have just three words for you: Bob the Horse. Bob the Horse is perhaps the most irritatingly comic character ever invented.
Here is the clever cover:
Craig Shaw Gardner has finally released the first three books in his hilarious Ebenezum series as e-books. Let the rejoicing begin! Here’s the classic cover for A Malady of Magicks:
Also out are A Night in the Netherhells and A Multitude of Monsters.
I heard Craig read the short story that turned into A Malady of Magicks back in the Harding administration sometime, and I couldn’t believe that anyone could write a story that funny.
Mr. Gardner has also relaunched his blog, this time in our familiar WordPress world. Let’s get him to start adding content!
