The creator of Mindgames and Swift Kicks returns with a fresh collection of mirth and mayhem. Tales range from wacky apocalyptic visions and experimental hyper-shorts to funny, frightening treks across a supremely surreal here and now.

Some takeaways: Skip casting calls for end-of-the-world flicks. Show organ grinders' monkeys some respect. And never, ever worry about where you'll be in the next five years. You'll find out eventually. It might be great. But probably not. Either way, make sure you have a great book to read. Hint hint.
