The villains at Awkward Press are at it again with Awkward Two, a collection of tales so fiendishly inventive they can barely be contained by the rigid boundaries of their wood-pulp prison. The experience begins with the glorious front cover, a charming take on the theme of "Brevity" that has been lovingly hand-penciled by illustrious illustrator Baarbarian. Peel back the cover and find yourself transported to an unexpected world in which pirates hold court over human resources departments, house painters become religious leaders, and ants show up in the most unlikely of places.

Awkward Two features thirty-three original short works by twenty-five of the modern world's finest scribes in a package that is at once sophisticated and refreshingly humble. Designed by lauded New York graphics-artistry firm Rumors, Awkward Two is brimming with stories guaranteed to shock and amaze. Step inside its welcoming pages and immerse yourself in cracking-good tales of:

- time-traveling hedonists!
- sadistic lawyers!
- tiny celebrities!
- board-game characters come to life!
- close encounters of the preteen kind!
- heartbreaking machines!
- gallivanting playwrights!

 . . . and twenty-six other devilishly imaginative scenarios that must be read to be believed! A modest fee shall secure your passage aboard this chariot of delights ... next stop, adventure!

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!

Perhaps you've heard that the Lumiere Brothers have developed a technology for turning photographs into moving image displays. Motion pictures, if you will.

The films are embedded right in the book ... purchase today and thank the gods at Apple for making this technology possible!
