Five volumes in. At this point Brad Gosse is not stumbling into controversy, he is commuting there. This collection pulls together fourteen of his darkest adult parody titles in one illustrated volume that will make you question several things about yourself in rapid succession. Inside: 18 Ways to Tell Kids Their Parents Died, Buster the Perverted Ghost, Candi's Nuts, Clip Clop the Racist Horse Cop, Gluck Gluck 9000, Ice Cream Man Goes Pee in the Back of His Truck, Mike Hunt Smells Like Fish, Mom Runs Trains on the Weekend with Dad's Friends, My Racist Dog Only Trusts Whites, Slappy Will, Star Whores Sex Workers Across the Galaxy, Sweat Shop Kids Make Everything You Own, There Is No Farm, and Why Daddy Hits Mommy. We need a moment after typing that. We are fine. We are moving on.
Volume five is where the series stops pulling any punches it may have previously been pulling. There Is No Farm is a guide to explaining euthanasia. Star Whores goes to space. Gluck Gluck 9000 is exactly what it sounds like and we will not be providing clarification. Every page is illustrated in bright cheerful colors that absolutely do not belong anywhere near these topics and that is entirely the point. Brad has been doing this for five volumes now. The art keeps getting better. The subject matter keeps getting worse. This is the deal.
This Book Is For You If...- You read Gluck Gluck 9000 and your first reaction was recognition rather than confusion
- You believe dark humor is a legitimate coping mechanism and you have tested that theory personally
- You have completed volumes one through four and feel that this is simply what you do now
- You want a gift that communicates something specific about your relationship with the recipient
- You are Star Whores curious and this seems like the most efficient way to find out
- You are still processing There Is No Farm on an emotional level and need more time
- You thought volume four was too far and somehow you are still here reading volume five copy
- You work in education, law enforcement, veterinary care, or ice cream vending
- You have children who read over your shoulder and ask questions about everything
- You are the kind of person who reports things and feels good about it afterward
- Adults who have had a genuinely terrible year and need to laugh at something worse
- White elephant exchanges among people who have known each other long enough to survive this
- A gift for the person in your life who thought nothing could surprise them anymore
- Anyone completing the full five-volume set for reasons they do not need to explain
- Your own bookshelf, because at this point you know exactly who you are
Fourteen books. Full color illustrations. Costs about the same as a greeting card that nobody keeps. This volume generates longer silences than the previous four because the titles require a beat to fully land. Someone will read Clip Clop the Racist Horse Cop out loud and the room will need a second. That second is worth the price of admission by itself.
Five volumes of this exist now. Brad Gosse has written more books in this format than most authors write in any format, which is either impressive or a warning sign and possibly both. Buy volume five. Complete the set. Tell nobody how you found this listing. Let Brad handle the consequences. He always does.
