..". reminds me of Terry Pratchett... if he was Canadian and had ADHD." --- Steve Patterson, author and host of The Debaters "As he did whenever he wanted their attention, Capitaine Fromage shot one of his crew with a pistol..."
Like every story in this book, the characters gets up to nonsense right from the start. This is 'hilarious... off the wall... the strangest book you'll ever read.." The twists are endless, but each tale is "an offbeat linguistic romp... sketches of a sunshine mind making leaps of logic into the absurd..."
A time-travel prototype lands in a Viking village. A horse-riding fiddler crab reveals his secret. A despotic tyrant is confronted by a penguin. The author meets Bill Murray. Each story is "an imaginative gem... funny, charming, surprising, whimsical.." with a style that's "tight, airy and whimsical"
In VENGEFUL HANK & OTHER SHORTWEIRD STORIES, St. Pierre showcases an ability to conjure characters and situations as universally ridiculous as a Gary Larson 'Far Side' cartoon, mixing the dry wit of Steve Martin's 'Pure Drivel' with the absurd logic of Douglas Adams.
