Vulgarity for the Masses by J.S. Lawhead

What do you get when you mix the bizarro fiction genre with a series of short stories? You get Vulgarity for the Masses. Several things make this book unique. These are the most bizarre stories I have ever read. They contain constant use of foul language, which is to be expected based on the title. But the cursing contained within those pages is the most creative use of profanity I have ever read. These stories will more likely than not amuse, confuse, and disturb you. But most of all these stories will leave you speechless, unsure of what you've just read.

The stories range from a tripped out teacher to curious, illogical puppets. From ghost stories to stories promoting the magical bond between man and whale, the stories will make you laugh at times, and leave you dumbfounded at others. While most people have never heard of the bizarro genre, this book is worth check out if you enjoy stories of the absurd, the grotesque, and the just plain nonsensical. If you are easily offended or do not like excessive cursing, you probably would pick up this book to begin with. But if you do, put it down because this book is not for you. But if mind-boggling profanity and crossed-the-line-so-long-ago-you-can't-even-see-the-line-anymore content are right up your alley, then you should definitely check out this book. Filled with great lines and laugh out loud comedy, I highly recommend it. Although I recommend tackling this book with a dictionary on hand, as the literary level can be a big high at times.

This book is currently available for sale.
