Happy Cruelty Day!: Daily Celebrations of Quiet Desperation

For everyone looking to find a little extra magic in a life with little to celebrate Happy Cruelty Day! is here. Beginning on January 1 this book features 365 new holidays each accompanied by a strange dark and humorous short story explaining the day you woke up in and how to celebrate it. These 365 daily doses of delight perversion and nonsense include Hire Someone Attractive To Pretend To Love You Day Hang on to Your Wide-Eyed Innocence Day Sit in Abject Terror Day and of course Cruelty Day. . Far more than just a humor book Happy Cruelty Day! is like a daily instructional manual written by a psychopath. On one page the book has you joining a community crime watch group in an effort to make friends (it wont work). Flip the page and youll find the details of your attempt to rescue your husband from a POW camp (youll fail). Flip it again and Happy Cruelty Day! will have important insight into how best to befriend a runaway teen (offer her some soup).. These holidays celebrate everything from that pivotal point in your life when everything changes to the day youre not going to do anything but sit on the edge of your bed and get very drunk. When people realize theyve fallen in love or when they realize their love was just a lie. And of course when love of whatever incarnation brings an index finger to clench tight around the trigger of a gun.. Raw ridiculous and laugh-out-loud funny this is a sharp-edged satire on the subtleties shallowness and stupidity of daily life.
