Perhaps they are all a bit bizarre, but after a while even their bizarreness becomes normal for you...The whole book should be made into a big anthologic bag of film. Something like Jim Jarmusch’s Night on Earth or Mystery Train.\"\n\nDavid Castleman writing about For The Birds in Mandrake Poetry Review: “15 small cynical myths, happily evolved into something humorous and tenderly sweet, display our lives...we discover a farrago of furtive winks and smiles, much as Geoffrey Chaucer might have used…”\n\nPhill Provance, writing about Labor Day (Peasantry Press, 2016) in the New Haven Review: “...Twilight Zone style dystopian fun...Farley seems to have had a hilariously good time upending the conventions of both speculative fiction and literary pretension, without letting these ends eclipse the kinetic drive of a book with enough pulse to stir those looking for an exciting read...”\n\nTyler Malone writing about Farts And Daydreams in the Mad Swirl Blog: “We know what burrows in us, and as time and separate us from what we know, we find ourselves without the atmosphere that was so familiar.… with that we discover a new fear we can’t dictate, or terror to give to others. Day-to-day life, life-by-life, this could be true, and that is why Farts and Daydreams (Dumpster Fire Press, 2022), is a journey to take in any life...a serious collection of short fiction that does a fine thing over and over: it doesn’t take itself too seriously…”\n\nNightmares and Hiccups: Big and Small Stories of Horror, Suspense, and the Supernatural (Alien Buddha Press, 2024) – rated five stars on Amazon.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0F3V6JBLW\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0F3V6JBLW.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Farley, Joseph|Buddha, Alien\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43336971255869,"sku":"BVV.B0F3V6JBLW.VG","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0F3V6JBLW-0.jpg?v=1783814622","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/beware-the-cartoonist","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
