NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An addictive, unpredictable, darkly hilarious collection of stories from Danny McBride--the beloved creator and star of The Righteous Gemstones and Eastbound & Down. Inventive, taut, and very funny. There are hints of George Saunders in McBride's ability to turn the indignities of modern life into a gently devastating black comedy.--The New Yorker Just as demented, hilarious, human, and as inspired as all of his work, but, somehow, even better.--Judd Apatow
There are many sides to Danny McBride: He's starred as the iconic character Kenny Powers in the cult classic HBO show Eastbound & Down, a series he also wrote and created--just as he did with Vice Principals and The Righteous Gemstones. He's produced horror films (Halloween) and starred in sci-fi (Alien: Covenant). And ever since he was young, he's been writing short fiction. An amateur magician gets in way over his head with a deadly stunt in a local mall. A washed-up sitcom actor takes revenge on the coyote who killed his dog. Two young runaways decide to part ways, but not before embarking on one last big adventure. Hilarious, razor-sharp, unexpectedly emotional, and full of wild twists and turns, the stories in Thrilling Tales of Modern Men are like nothing else. And yet they have one thing in common--each probes the fragile masculinity that has become an inescapable part of modern American culture. In this audacious and unforgettable debut collection, McBride redefines the tale of the modern man.
