What is dark comedy? It's watching grown men fail spectacularly at adulting-and laughing all the way through their disaster.

Earthbound Misfits is a clever satire that takes a hilarious, unflinching look at the misplaced values of a floundering generation.

Edward O'Leary is a middle-aged divorcee trapped in mediocrity. Haunted by his deceased father's impossible expectations, he's stuck working as a carpenter-a far cry from the affluent upbringing he once knew. Every penny he scrapes together goes to child support and alimony for his spiteful ex-wife. It's an honest living, but barely.

Edward's only escape? His childhood friends: Pat Keenan and the legendary McAllister brothers-three gloriously dysfunctional man-children suffering from terminal Peter Pan Syndrome. This slice of life humor follows their misadventures with razor-sharp wit.

Meet the books with quirky characters you won't soon forget:

Tatiana McAllister - A chain-smoking lawyer who raised three sons while resembling a witch in her signature black trench coat. She tried her best. She failed magnificently.

Ralph Roofie McAllister (42) - A 6'4 grizzly bear of a man who deals marijuana to the locals. Think sumo wrestler meets neighborhood pharmacist.

Dexter McAllister - The portly, balding middle child who's one chromosome short of a full deck. This martial arts enthusiast spends his days watching Telemundo with his Rottweiler, Princess, and Pong, a bewildered Vietnamese exchange student. His girlfriend Mary strips at a gentleman's club. Naturally.

Charlie McAllister - The lanky baby of the family who thinks he's from the hood and organizes Motocross jousting competitions in the backyard. His father's law connections are the only thing keeping him out of prison.
