<b>The debut collection of raucous, dark, strange, satirical stories from the former <i>Late Show with Stephen Colbert </i>writer and <i>New Yorker </i>contributor, featuring a foreword by Stephen Colbert <br></b><br><b>“Jen Spyra’s stories are shocking, silly, smart, and <u>absurdly</u> <u>funny</u>. Underline both those words, I don’t care how much it costs!”—Tina Fey</b><br><br>A bride so desperate to get in shape for her wedding that she enrolls in a new kind of workout program that promises the moon but costs more than she bargained for. A snowman who, on the wish of a child, comes to life in a decidedly less savory way than in the childhood classic. And in the title story, a time-hopping 1940s starlet tries to claw her way to the top in modern-day Hollywood, despite being ridiculously unwoke. <br><br>In this uproarious, addictive debut, Jen Spyra takes a culture that seems almost beyond parody and holds it up to a funhouse mirror, immersing the reader in a world of prehistoric influencers, woodland creatures plagued by millennial neuroses, and an all-out birthday bash determined to be the most lavish celebration of all time, by any means necessary. <br><br>Welcome, brave soul, to the world of Jen Spyra.
