Barbarians: What Is Good in Life (Hardcover)

Barbarians: What Is Good in Life
Barbarians: What Is Good in Life (Hardcover)
By Byron Clavicle

Review & Description

Sick of our flaccid twenty-first century, with its flavored coffees, electric cars, and spoiled lap dogs? Wishing you could get what you want, when you want it? Perhaps you dream of trading in that restrictive tie for a liberating loin cloth? The solution is simple: Just ask yourself, What Would a Barbarian Do? (WWBD?). With this primitive procedure, great men have altered the course of history (and hilarious B movies) for thousands of years.

Return to the simplicity of yore with this back-to-basics primer on bloody revenge, furry pants, and true caveman cuisine. Let renowned scholar Dr. Byron Clavicle and real-life barbarian Grüte Skullbasher tell you how to crush your enemies, settle rent disputes with the barbarian counting system (one, two…many!), find a proper name and title that will put you at the top of the Manly Scale of Name Masculinity, and snare a chain-mail-bikini-wearing Amazon! With just a few thousand calories a day and a commitment to pillaging and plundering, you too can put yourself on the path to an authentic barbarian lifestyle!

Features Include:

- How to Dress Like a Barbarian
- The Barbarian Aptitude Test (B.A.T.)
- How to Make a Barbarian Movie
- Great Barbarian Accomplishments
- Barbarian Bible Stories
- Grüte Skullbasher’s Response to the Great Western Philosophers

. . . and much, much more!

Reborn (Queen B Superheroine Book #1) (Queen B Superheroine Series) (Kindle Edition)
By Kailin Gow

Review & Description

The first book in the Queen B Superheroine Series chronicling the teenage and young adult years of one of America's future greatest super heroines Queen B, REBORN introduces Barbie Barton as the young super heroine and the people and circumstances that shape her character while growing up in a small town called Bigtown. A natural born leader, Barbie Barton's life is consumed with the typical teenage pursuit of popularity, good grades, and climbing the high school social ladder. She has risen to the very top of the social ladder as head cheerleader, prom queen, and co-producer of the school news show. She is even dating Peter Bailey, the star quarterback and a senior. But when she is stung by a genetically-enhanced queen bee and her friends are being mysteriously killed, Barbie is forced to confront her newfound powers and embark on a dual life of teenage queen and crime fighter. To complicate matters, Barbie meets Roman Reynolds, the brilliant handsome son of billionaire scientist Reginald Reynolds, who had recently returned from living in Europe to help his father run his empire. With his handsome dark looks and charming vulnerability, Barbie cannot help but feel an instant attraction for this new stranger. Scarred by the tragic death of his mother and living with the coldness of a tyrannical father, Roman has his own demons to wrestle. As fate would have it, one day he would become Queen B's greatest love and her greatest foe, but not today. Today they are close friends and neighbors watching out for each other in the small but growing town of Bigtown.

You Might be a Monster: & Other Stories I Made Up (Hardcover)

You Might be a Monster: & Other Stories I Made Up
You Might be a Monster: & Other Stories I Made Up (Hardcover)
By (Artist) Attaboy

Review & Description

"Attaboy is the co-founder and editor of Hi-Fructose, the excellent new magazine about candy, toys, and monsters. He also creates his own incredibly-inspired and beautiful illustrations."—BoingBoing

"[Attaboy creates] a contradictory land where everything comes with sharp pointy teeth but works a way into your heart with their deceptive charms."—Clutter Magazine

What if you combined Shel Silverstein and Tim Burton with a dollop of Dr. Seuss? You'd get Attaboy. With a theatrical eye for the absurd and unbridled paintbrush, his hilarious anthology of illustrated poems will amuse everyone who is a kid at heart.

In his trademark style of bold color and twisted humor, Attaboy's baker's dozen of zany rhymes introduce off-the-wall characters (a child who is a sock magnet), highlights the adorably peculiar (a hugging cactus), and juxtaposes the mundane (counting sheep to sleep) with the bizarre (zombie clowns).

Then there's the title story. Because of his beastly behavior, Gustav's parents hire an expert to determine if their son is truly a monster! "Do you chew with BOTH your mouths open?" If you answer "yes" then more crazy creatures follow! Enjoy hidden jokes and hilarious wordplay in this collection from an irreverent twenty-first century imagination.

Attaboy is an internationally renowned gallery artist who successfully modernized classic toys and games for Hasbro and created stationary for Dark Horse Comics. The Disney Channel broadcast his animation Too Many Robots. He co-founded the quarterly popular art magazine Hi-Fructose (www.hifructose.com) whose collected volumes Last Gasp has been published.
