[NEW YORK, NY] The entire town of Chubbuck, Idaho, loathes Jerry Yatsko. Even his family can’t stand him, including his openly cheating wife and huge dork of a son. Daily visits to the local municipal pool don’t quite bring the family togetherness that Jerry desperately craves, but it does help him stumble on a portal that blurs the lines between reality and dreamland. His actions in one place can change his fate in the other, and Jerry — as well as a young and unpredictable friend — can use this powerful tool to either take revenge on the monsters of Chubbuck or protect the people that he still, somehow, and begrudgingly, deeply loves.
Come on in, the water’s fine in Community Pool (ISBN: 978-1-954158-32-0). It’s a misanthropic and profane comedy that transforms into a powerful, moving sci-fi adventure through space, time, and the human heart.

I thought a lot about communities,” author Keith James says. “What is my obligation to the community? What is the community’s obligation to me? If I say, ‘screw this community,’ when would I be wrong and when would I be right?”
A novel as emotionally raw as it is laugh out loud and utterly unpredictable, COMMUNITY POOL (ISBN 978-1-954158-32-0) is available in paperback format wherever books are sold, distributed by IngramSpark, and on assorted e-book platforms.

Walker is walking across America! From Idaho, down through California, across the Southwest, the South, the Carolinas, and up to Washington, D.C., just in time for Inauguration Day. Why? He pretty much has to! As a modern-day and devoted descendent of legendary 19th century long-distance pedestrian Preston Dilettante, the relentlessly sunny Walker Dilettante will gladly traipse across the country to reunite far-flung family members for a photo with their common ancestor’s iconic boot — as a gift to his beloved, dying Grandpappy. Along the way, Walker is accompanied by his social media-savvy cousin, Ria, meets cousins he loves who loathe him back, and accidentally involves himself in a deadly scandal surrounding both the incoming and outgoing presidents. That’s the world of WALKER(ISBN 978-1-954158-29-0).
WALKER is a book about America, yokels, Instagram, politics, intrigue, hot air balloons, mysteries, and, most of all, the weirdness of family and the burden of legacy. “It’s like if On The Road was an absurdist epic, filled with homespun Americana dreams, centered around a lovable naïf, seasoned with a touch of Simon Rich,” says Saturday Night Live writer Brian McElhaney. “Reading this was honestly, somehow, more fun than TV.”
“WALKER came about when my brother told me about pedestrianism, competitive walking popular in the Civil War era. I’ve always loved learning about sports subcultures that have gone out of style over the years,” says first-time novelist Sam Pasternack. “Once I started imagining the modern-day descendants of the most famous pedestrians, Walker’s story came into focus.”
A novel as wistful, striking, and compelling as it is funny and earnest, WALKER(ISBN 978-1-954158-29-0) is available in paperback, e-book, and audiobook format wherever books are sold. To request a review copy, or to set up an event featuring WALKER please contact Humorist Books: brian@humoristbooks.com

New York City. 1948. Jeremiah Carp is a mild-mannered, low-level professor pleased with his quiet life of work, gentle pranks, and thinking about marrying his patient partner. All of that just might disappear thanks to Jeremiah’s woeful decision to get involved with some nefarious ad men to help them with a campaign to introduce a new letter — “aitch” — to the English alphabet.
An ambitious goof worthy of Jeremiah’s considerable talents? Yes. Is he an unwitting pawn in an alien conspiracy that’s been in the planning stages for hundreds of years? Somehow, yes, that’s also true.
It all plays out like the alphabet song in The Vowels of the Earth(ISBN 978-1954158276) by Matthew David Brozik, a hybrid of literate science-fiction, laugh out loud humor, and old-school academic farce.
“The Vowels of the Earthis the result of my deciding to turn a quirky 750-word humor piece into a full-length novel,” Brozik (The Government Manual for New Superheroes) says. “Originally, the protagonist was old, bitter, and sarcastic. For the novel, I made him young, energetic, and cycloptic. And I added aliens, because that’s the only way the sheer absurdity of the plot would make any sense at all.”
“The Vowels of the Earthis a mystery with jokes, linguistics, aliens, and heart, the four essential components of any good story,” says former senior editor of The Onion Jason Roeder (Griefstrike! The Ultimate Guide to Mourning). “Brims with oddly lovable characters, zingy dialogue and humor, and so many twists that you not only won’t see them coming — you’ll give up and surrender to Brozik’s fevered imagination,” adds Rob Kutner (Conan, The Daily Show).
The Vowels of the Earth(ISBN 978-1954158276) is available in every major ebook format and in paperback.

NEW YORK, NY – Like his iconic predecessors Mystery, Neil Strauss, and Glenn Quagmire, Andrew Munge is a self-styled expert on the exciting, titillating, and artful world of sensual seduction. “Self-styled” is the key phrase there. It’s clear from Getting the Girl, his shockingly unflattering memoir/instruction book, Andrew Munge has no game and no clue. And that’s not just with women — it’s with his entire mess of a life. This epic account of angry loser-dom — and what not to do to land a date — is all here in Getting the Girl: A Gentleman’s Guide to Seduction, Allurement, and Beguilance(ISBN: 978-1-954158-20-7).
Getting the Girlis an irony-soaked work of meta-fiction, tracking the life of an awful man who doesn’t know how awful he is from his own point of view. A pillar of toxic masculinity in a golden age of blustery self-promotion, Andrew Munge doesn’t know that the world is laughing at him, and not listening to him, as he doles out useless and misguided advice on how to show other guys how to “decode the she-code.” Getting the Girl is an epic tale of an ordinary, underachieving man, a satire of the tropes of toxic masculinity.
“There are so many beta boys and semi-men who struggle to navigate women that I had to author Getting the Girlto help them,” Andrew Munge yelled over the phone. “As I punched this book to life, I would harken back to nine-year-old Munge, getting ready for his first date with Sadie Wart. When I got there, I discovered it wasn’t a date at all, but a birthday party. Sadie asked me to leave and the very next her family moved away. It was my worst birthday ever. It was my birthday, too.”
PRAISE:
“A satirical poison pill: once the belly laughs end, you are left with a gut-wrenching jealousy of these two idiots’ wonderful creation. I hate Munge. I hate that I didn’t create Munge. Well done, assholes.”
– Keith James, author of ‘Greg Maxwell’s INFERNO’
Getting the Girl: A Gentleman’s Guide to Seduction, Allurement, and Beguilance (ISBN: 978-1-954158-20-7) is available now, in paperback format wherever books are sold, distributed by IngramSpark, Amazon, and on assorted e-book platforms.

New York, NY – An underemployed hot dog dresser, his reluctant friends, and a hypnotically blue and totally purloined crustacean are on the move, and quickly. Why? Because life if short, and sometimes, you’ve just got to get the lobster. The Lobster Heist (978-1-954158-21-4), from Humorist Books and Erin McLaughlin, scuttles into bookstores and e-platforms on August 29, 2023.
Apart from his thankless job at Hot Dawgy Dawgs, Brooklyn’s best and worst hot dog joint, twenty-something Josh Cantillo doesn’t have much going on in his life. Unless you count his never-ending quest to find his lobsterman father who went out for milk one day and never came back.
One of the only things that Josh remembered about him was their shared enchantment with a rare, metallic-blue lobster that resides in a local, rundown Chinese restaurant.And when Josh finds out that his father is dying, he’ll go to any means to kidnap that blue lobster and bring it to him.
It’s a journey that will require the assistance of friends and enemies, old and new, and which will send him into the path of underworld criminals, crusty fisherman, romantic rivals, and various other hidden and hilarious dangers of New England.
“I wrote The Lobster Heist because I spent my entire life feeling that a piece of me was missing, because I didn’t know my father. As I wrote the book, I learned alongside Josh that much more than that makes up who you are,” McLaughlin says. “I also really wanted to publish a novel by the time I was 26, and Humorist Books made that happen for me!”
In it’s first week in pre-orders The Lobster Heist has reached #1 in New Releases in Humorous American Fiction.
The Lobster Heist (ISBN: 978-1-954158-21-4) will be available on August 29, 2023, in paperback format wherever books are sold.

New York, NY –Lookout! Vengeful movie tropes — and true love — are primed to strike in Attack of the Rom-Com, a warm, wild, and hilarious supernatural comedy.
About the only thing that tough, cynical, and profane Sophie Sweet adores is her ride-or-die BFF Jodie Edwards. Sophie has been hurt too many times to bother with other people, and that goes double for love, a ridiculous fairy tale designed to keep women down. Or so Sophie says.
Every year, Sophie and Jodie visit a fortune teller, but this time, they’re met with a surprise: Tiffani the Psychic. This bubbly, pink-clad medium will stop at nothing to get to Tiffany’s squishy, sensitive heart. Sophie wants no part of that.
Too bad.
Tiffani is coming, whether she likes it or not — and she definitely won’t like being subject to a string of magical, nightmarish, and seemingly inescapable scenarios built out of rom-com cliches.
Can Tiffani prove to Sophie that love can heal all wounds? And that love is also right there, in front of her oblivious face, whether she likes it or not? Watch out for the Attack of the Rom-Com.
“I love writing books that make women feel like superheroines who can do anything no matter who they are,” Nelson says. “Attack of the Rom-Com is about fundamental feminine relationships, the ones keeping our brains from exploding in a ridiculous world full of rom-com nightmares. This book is for every lady who’d gleefully help bury the body for their girls.”
Amidst the summer of Barbie and a reassessment of cultural tropes through a feminist lens, Attack of the Rom-Com is a taut, funny, and thoughtful addition to the conversation. It will be available on August 15, 2023 in paperback format wherever books are sold, and in various major e-reader formats.

New York, NY – Humorist Books Announces the Release of Dystopian Workplace Satire “Cash Grab” by Andy Spain. In today’s entertainment industry, it takes more than just talent to make it big. Buddy Buppsen dreamed of working in television ever since he was a kid glued to the game shows on his foster parents’ TV, but now, with a college degree of questionable value in hand, Buddy discovers that a dream job is still just that—a job. Part absurdist satire of the entertainment industry, part slacker’s response to Atlas Shrugged, this debut comic novel by Andy Spain (McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Weekly Humorist, Points in Case) explores the nature of selling out, common decency, and dystopian workplace woes.
Bill Martin, writer and co-creator of The Unicorn and Grounded For Life, executive producer of 3rd Rock from the Sun says “If you’re a show biz insider, this book will make you laugh and cringe in equal measure.

A follow-up to the wickedly funny Seven Easy Steps to Go to Hell, this adult-themed, elaborately illustrated holiday book pokes fun at saccharine holiday spirit.
Everybody’s favorite malevolent mischief-makers return in this sure-to-be holiday classic by author and illustrator Brandon Hicks. When Mary Anne’s fervent love of Christmas threatens to alienate her friends and family, demons Beezle, Buzzle, and Barb intervene to show Mary Anne how the holiday season “totally blows chunks.” Will the demons three succeed in convincing Mary Anne that Christmas is nothing but a crass, commercialist holiday rife with hypocrisy, or will Mary Anne’s stalwart devotion to all things yuletide win out, in this hilarious sequel to Seven Easy Steps to Go to Hell?
“Curses for Christmas is a really fun twist on Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, updated for our modern, crass, commercialist sensibilities,” says Andy Newton, Editor of Humorist Books. “Brandon Hicks is a great storyteller, and his richly detailed illustrations bring the story to life.”
Brandon Hicks writes plays performed by real people, and draws cartoons performed by fake people. His work has appeared in Splitsider, The Syrup Trap, Weekly Humorist, American Bystander and regularly on The Rumpus, where he also serves as an associate cartoon editor. Unfortunately, he’s also Canadian.
Curses for Christmas is available now, at $13.99 paperback and 5.99 e-book on Amazon.com and wide release to bookstores and web outlets. For more information on Curses for Christmas, visit humoristbooks.com.

New York, NY: Today, Humorist Books, imprint of Weekly Humorist Magazine, announced a new book release: Greg Maxwell’s Infernoby Keith James: “The erotic, Judeo-Christian, modern-day odyssey no one asked for.”
It has been a long time coming but the release of Keith James’ new book Greg Maxwell’s Inferno is finally here. The Erotic, Judeo-Christian, Modern-Day Odyssey No One Asked For is now available to purchase and download from major retailers. This satirical take on Dante’s classic poem takes place in modern day San Diego where demons circle the city, Hell has come to claim the last mortal universe. A bleeding tower has burst through the 24-Hour Fitness parking lot, and one name is called to challenge Lucifer’s Champion – Greg Maxwell.
Who is Greg Maxwell? Imagine the person you would want to fight for humanity’s survival. Now think of the opposite person. Now think of that person’s dad. Cocaine. Talking animals. Weekend trips to Cape Cod. Secret JFK sex videos. This is the erotic, Judeo-Christian, modern-day Odyssey no one asked for. This is Greg Maxwell’s Inferno.
Mike Sacks, author of Stinker Lets Loose, Randy!, Poking a Dead Frog, calls it ‘“The funniest piece of fiction I’ve read since Trump’s ‘The Art of the Deal.’”
What a devilishly fun book is this.” says Brian Boone, contributor, Vulture;
“A good novel ought to knock a reader out of their own head and into the thoughts of an individual much different from themselves, and Greg Maxwell’s Inferno does just that, sending one headlong into the mind of a truly — but hilariously — deplorable individual as he somehow nonchalantly experiences some of the most impossible, imaginative, and consequential sequences ever attempted in a comic novel. What a devilishly fun book is this.” says Brian Boone, contributor, Vulture; author of Great Men of Science, and So You Want to Be an Old Person: Everything to Know for the Newly Old, Retiring, Elderly, or Considering
“This is a wild, bonkers, funny epic quest of a story.” says Marty Dundics, CEO of Humorist Media and Editor-in-Chief of Weekly Humorist Magazine. “The worlds created and characters are so extreme and the humor so blunt and raw, I think this is a read that will be hard for people to put down. You don’t have to like Greg Maxwell to care how this story ends. I look forward to seeing it as a streamer in the future.”
In its first 2 weeks Greg Maxwell’s Inferno has ranked #1 in New Releases for Absurdist Fiction, American Horror, Folklore, Urban Legends Humor, and in top 100 for Humorous Erotica!
Keith James is a writer and performer from San Diego, California. He has trained and performed at Pack Theater, iO West, and UCB. His written work can be found in McSweeney’s, Second City’s Points in Case, the Taco Bell Quarterly, and others. He also writes and hosts the Gus Biblowitz: Basketball Legend audio series.
Greg Maxwell’s Inferno will be available starting August 10, 2021, at 13.99 paperback and 5.99 e-book on Amazon.com and wide release to bookstores and web outlets. For more information , visit gregmaxwellsinferno.com

New York, NY– There’s always more to the story and ‘The Witch Demands a Retraction’, the newest illustrated book from Humorist Books, aims to set the record straight. The book answers all of the mysteries that have been left unanswered for so long, including Goldilocks’ affair with Papa Bear and Snow White’s sexcapades with the 7 dwarves. Written by humorist and acclaimed poet Melissa Balmain and illustrated by award-winning illustrator, Ron Barrett, this book provides laughs and twisted entertainment to everyone who reads it.
Gene Weingarten, syndicated humor columnist, The Washington Post, says “This is an extremely irresponsible book — imprudent, unconscionable, certain to emotionally scar impressionable children for life. I highly recommend it.” Tom Bodett, author and NPR personality commented, “If you’re looking for the perfect bedtime poetry to send your little ones peacefully to dreamland, keep moving. In The Witch Demands a Retraction, Melissa Balmain’s poetic retakes of classic fairytales, ‘happy endings’ means something else, and Mama Bear finds a clue in her bed that Goldilocks was not after the porridge. Witty, cringey, and hilarious. For every parent who wants a break from sincerity, and for every bad aunt or uncle looking for the perfect gift — this is your book.”
The book’s publisher, Weekly Humorist Editor-in-Chief, and Humorist Media CEO, Marty Dundics is thrilled at the book’s release. “This book is incredible…instant classic,” he said. “I am so excited to be a small part of its creation. The poems by Melissa are clever and hilarious, and Ron’s wonderful illustrations are amazingly funny.”
Melissa Balmain edits Light, America’s longest-running journal of light verse. Her humor has appeared in The American Bystander, Lighten Up Online, McSweeney’s, The New Yorker, The New York Times, Success, The Washington Post, and Weekly Humorist. Her full-length poetry collection, Walking in on People (winner of the Able Muse Book Award), has been praised by Poet Laureate Billy Collins as “an infectious, often hilarious blend of the sweet and the lethal, the charming and the acidic.” Ron Barrett is the illustrator of the classic picture book, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, one of The New York Times’ Ten Best Illustrated Books. It has sold over six million copies globally and produced two motion pictures, a TV series, and plastic toys in Happy Meals. Ron’s illustrations have been exhibited twice at The Louvre’s Musée des Arts Décoratifs, most recently art from Animals should definitely not wear clothing. Ron’s work has appeared in The New Yorker and The New York Times. He’s also been Art Director of The National Lampoon.
