The Nihilist’s Pocket Survival Guide to Modern Society

About The Nihilist’s Pocket Survival Guide to Modern Society

Winner PenCraft Award for Literary Excellence Spring 2024 for Fiction–Humor*****$0.99
FEBRUARY SALE

The perfect antidote for Boomer, Millennial, and GenXYZ angst!

Ready to rummage through the ridiculousness of our reality? Buckle up for a bumpy ride through the hilarious and thought-provoking absurdities of modern existence, where sanity hangs by a thread, and existential crises are just another day at the office.

Enter the world of Rectum Leviticus, an avowed nihilist. His name and unusual backstory propelled him to adopt an approach to life best characterized as, “I don’t care because nothing really matters.” This attitude has served him exceedingly well. His nihilism, paired with his astute observational skills, give him an edge in navigating all the challenges of modern life. Rectum shares his wisdom in The Nihilist’s Pocket Survival Guide to Modern Society.

Tungyn Cheque blends the humor of late-night comedy shows and cartoon favorites like The Simpsons, the absurdity and wit of Douglas Adams, Dave Barry, and Jerry Seinfeld (with a splash of Monty Python) into an intoxicating cocktail of humorous light-hearted criticism of the times we live in.

This handbook is a must read for anyone trying to figure out and negotiate the landscape of work, home, family relationships, debt, dating and all that modern life offers. How best to tackle these challenges? The nihilist offers readers his well-honed suggestions.

The Immortals by Mary Hallberg

About The Immortals by Mary Hallberg

McKenzie Palmer is only 16, but she’s going to live forever.
Well, maybe.
Ten years ago, a devastating economic collapse drove most of the United States into poverty. The only citizens who are free from money worries are the Immortals. Those lucky enough to be chosen are given unlimited access to a life prolonging drug called TNV and lifelong grants to sustain their lavish lifestyles. It’s a position many would kill for. 
But when McKenzie is selected for this honor, she’s apprehensive. McKenzie’s grandfather was an Immortal, one of the few who left. He’s always told her how unlimited money and power corrupts most Immortals, and she doesn’t want to lose who she is.
But when McKenzie meets a handsome young Immortal named Gage, grandpa’s warnings fall by the wayside.The more McKenzie falls for Gage, the deeper into the world of the Immortals she goes — and the more she realizes how right her grandpa is. But if she leaves, she’ll lose her boyfriend, her eternal youth and her large income. With one foot in each world, McKenzie has to make the toughest decision of her young — and possibly eternal — life.
The Immortals is a young adult sci-fi/romance novel that explores the theme of whether eternal youth, beauty and power are really worth it in the end.

You might think a property manager at a large real estate firm would be a dull job. It’s normally routine for Casey Clark, Property Manager at Peller Realty. When a tenant refuses to pay rent, just evict and move on. Not so with the tenant from Hell. When the police capture Casey in the apartment with her tenant, who was shot dead moments before, she is the first suspect in his murder. She learns too late he was not who he seemed. Her world is no longer what it was. When she flees to Helen, Georgia, under an assumed identity, she learns many of the persons involved in the case are not what they seem. Her trip to one of Georgia’s top-tourist destinations becomes a trip to Hell. Casey’s search for answers draws her into murder, drug rings, ghosts, and Indians. Her former problem of having to deal with her psychic cat, Dixie, not getting along with her pirate boyfriend’s parrot, changes into deciding whom she can trust as she scrambles to stay alive. Join Casey as she deals with advice from spirits, sorts through ancient legends, explores the world of music in the mountains, and chooses which law enforcement officers to trust and which are toxic. Her life depends on her making the right choices. It’s a thrill ride from the nation’s oldest city to the twists and turns of Appalachia’s mountain roads.

The book is an absurdist novella with some dark humor. Sebastian has just moved to a new location. He was dissatisfied with his life, felt it was stalled, and wanted to do a reset. He has a plan for how he will proceed, and everything is looking promising. But then, Sebastian discovers a door and he cannot fathom how or why it exists. It’s a mystery door. Though he tries to just ignore it, the mystery door has a hold over him, and he is unable to get on with his aspirations until he can figure out what the mystery door is all about. The mystery door becomes an obsession for Sebastian, that is dominating his life. His fixation with the mystery door reaches truly worrisome levels, and Sebastian knows he has to put a stop to it and get the situation in order. That’s the moment that everything spirals out of control and Sebastian’s experience with the mystery door becomes far more preposterous and incomprehensible than he ever could have imagined.

Life After War Books 1-3 by Angela White

About Life After War Books 1-3 by Angela White

“War was uglier than we’d imagined. The Draft was reinstated, taking our men and boys. Troops stripped the shelves as they came through. Within days, stores were empty; people began to starve. Hospitals closed due to a lack of staff and supplies. Police stopped answering calls, stopped coming to work at all. Production halted. Communications faded. Then the power went off…and it didn’t come back on.

“The fall of society triggered a hard, new life where survival became our only focus. We reverted to primitive behaviors, using the war as an excuse to commit unspeakable atrocities and humanity slipped deeper into the abyss of possible extinction. Lawlessness blanketed the post-apocalyptic lands with hatred and violence that seemed to have no end. The future, cold and dark, offered little comfort. The only chance we had for peace, for safety, came from a tired voice on the radio.”

“This is Safe Haven. We offer food, shelter, and protection to all survivors. Does anyone copy? …hello? Is anyone alive out there?”

“Answering that call was a dangerous risk in a world now filled with nightmares, but it was better than having no hope at all. We left our dens and our dregs and followed Safe Haven; not everyone made it there. Some of those who did were too far gone to be trusted. The apocalypse left its mark on all of us and Safe Haven wasn’t immune to that. It was a place of safety, of light, of duty and honor. It was a refuge for all survivors. It was also a place of death and darkness, where murder and madness walked hand-in-hand.”

Life After War. A story that will live in your mind forever.
