Awkward Press

25 authors, 33 stories + a FREE DVD … order below!

… whether pensive or inventive, there’s a surprise or two in every package – in practically every 33 of the micro-short stories – economically bubbling over the bounds of Awkward Two’s one hundred pages. An array of subject matter, themes, styles, tones, and characters are represented. Don’t like one story in this mostly hit, some miss, affair? Turn a page or two, flip on through – there’s another, and another…

The villains at Awkward Press are at it again with Awkward Two, a collection of tales so fiendishly inventive they can barely be contained by the rigid boundaries of their wood-pulp prison. The experience begins with the glorious front cover, a charming take on the theme of “Brevity” that has been lovingly hand-penciled by illustrious illustrator Baarbarian. Peel back the cover and find yourself transported to an unexpected world in which pirates hold court over human resources departments, house painters become religious leaders, and ants show up in the most unlikely of places.

Awkward Two features thirty-three original short works by twenty-five of the modern world’s finest scribes in a package that is at once sophisticated and refreshingly humble. Designed by lauded New York graphics-artistry firm Rumors, Awkward Two is brimming with stories guaranteed to shock and amaze. Step inside its welcoming pages and immerse yourself in cracking-good tales of:

• time-traveling hedonists!
• sadistic lawyers!
• tiny celebrities!
• board-game characters come to life!
• close encounters of the preteen kind!
• heartbreaking machines!
• gallivanting playwrights!

. . . and twenty-six other devilishly imaginative scenarios that must be read to be believed! A modest fee shall secure your passage aboard this chariot of delights … next stop, adventure!

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
