This special edition includes Despot Times, an even more absurd alternate version of the almost, but not quite, award-winning book, Small Stories: A Perfectly Absurd Novel.
The Town Administrator is extorting residents!
Subversive senior citizens are on the march!
Exclamation marks keep popping! up! everywhere!
Duncan and Maya Small have just relocated to a new town. Again. And almost immediately, Duncan is ready to move on thanks to a power-obsessed local official who has it out for him. But Maya has ideas of her own.
The Smalls soon discover nothing in their new town is at it seems, but one thing is certain - there's something funny going on.
Small Stories: A Perfectly Absurd Novel, is a comic tale about life, power, and new beginnings in a quirky little town that's decidedly off-the-wall, yet remarkably familiar. It's about the last Welcome Wagon, secret societies, and bake sales. It's about Duncan Small's fixation on process and Maya Small's unforeseen celebrity. It's about unexpected friendships, which may turn out to be the best kind there are.
In this alternate version, Despot TImes, Maya and Duncan face all the challenges of the original story, but now they also have to contend with a host of history's B-list monarchs, one of whom is trying to make a comeback and isn't about to let a little thing like being dead for centuries stand in the way.
