Humor Anthology

Ready to feel the chills running down your spine? Wait, that's just the green gelatin monster from one of the stories in this collection of very silly (and a few not-so-silly) horror stories.

A lonely wedding guest talks to a goose; two poets struggle over whether to participate in a “pardon Edward Snowden” verse petition; a cowardly husband lets his wife face a possible intruder in their home; a potential co-op renter in NYC can’t find anyone to give him a character reference.

These stories attest to the generous compass of Thomas McGuane's fellow feeling, as well as to his unique way with words.

But complications arise equally in the absence of blood, as when lifelong friends on a fishing trip finally confront their deep dislike for each other.
