Synopsis

In the realm of early 20th-century American literature, George Ade's 'Ade's Fables' stands out as an exemplar of wit and societal observation. Ade, with a masterful command of colloquial speech and a satirical edge, presents a series of short tales that pierce the veil of pretense to reveal the underlying truths of human nature and social mores. DigiCat Publishing, in its endeavor to honor such legacies of human expression, has meticulously curated this special edition, seamlessly blending the antique charm of Ade's insights with the accessibility of modern formats. Each fable serves as a mirror to the foibles and virtues of its era, yet the themes resonate timelessly, offering readers pearls of wisdom wrapped in Ade's distinctive humoristic style.
George Ade, once a columnist and playwright, employed his astute observations of the American scene in crafting these fables. His personal experiences and Midwestern roots provided a fertile ground for exploring the commonplace and elevating it to the level of the extraordinary. Ade's penetrating gaze into the American psyche, coupled with his linguistic dexterity, contributed to a body of work that not only reflects social landscapes of his time but also influences readers to this day through its relatable humor and sardonic critique.
'Ade's Fables' is recommended for those with an appetite for sharp social commentary, lovers of the fable form, and anyone who appreciates literary craftsmanship that transcends the ages. DigiCat Publishing ensures that the essence of Ade's vision is preserved, inviting a contemporary audience to partake in the intellectual and cultural feast that is George Ade's literary legacy. Embrace this collection as a study of character, a historical document, and a source of entertainment that, much like Aesop's own, will continue to engage and enlighten for generations to come.

    A weird, wild ride across non-narrative vignettes and dryly funny aphorisms exploring the shared intensity of violence and the erotic. 
     
     
     
    As if hauled up squirming from the bowels of the internet, Sex Goblin metabolizes sex writing, popular culture, and autofiction to present the real and the imagined as equally surreal possibilities. In the narrator's childlike voice, all things become both mundane and strange—a child and their dog fused after a car accident, moments of tenderness amidst frat hazing, witches, and hiking accidents. At turns charming and bizarre, Sex Goblin channels sexual violence through the lens of the absurd to alchemize shame and abuse into something that registers differently than trauma. Sex Goblin is a barely factual but deeply felt field guide to relationships and relatability.

    My Therapist Says This Grief...

    "I am writing this grief journal at the repeated advice of my therapist. I'm writing it to myself, as my own reader. I hate readers. Mostly because I hate myself." 
     
     
     
    You could say Kyle Jr. grew up in a dysfunctional family. That'd be an understatement. His mother's wealthy family disinherited her for marrying the working-class Kyle Sr., and she's never forgiven him (or KJ) for that. 
     
     
     
    When his father's suicide turns his life upside down, KJ fills his therapist-recommended grief journal with plenty of sarcasm, excerpts from sweary, punny high-school short stories, and fourth-wall-breaking asides. Through all the bravado and swagger, a portrait emerges of a young man confronting a dark past with genuine compassion and keen insight. He's determined to reconcile with its legacy—and to survive.

    Fifty-One Tales is a collection of fantasy short stories by Irish writer Lord Dunsany, a major influence on J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin and others. Each story is a short vignette, a single moment of strangeness or horror in the face of death.11. DEATH AND THE ORANGETwo dark young men in a foreign southern land sat at a restaurant table with one woman.And on the woman's plate was a small orange which had an evil laughter in its heart.And both of the men would be looking at the woman all the time, and they ate little and they drank much.And the woman was smiling equally at each.Then the small orange that had the laughter in its heart rolled slowly off the plate on to the floor. And the dark young men both sought for it at once, and they met suddenly beneath the table, and soon they were speaking swift words to one another, and a horror and an impotence came over the Reason of each as she sat helpless at the back of the mind, and the heart of the orange laughed and the woman went on smiling; and Death, who was sitting at another table, tete-a-tete with an old man, rose and came over to listen to the quarrel.
