Go ahead. Put on your pajamas, curl up next to the fireplace with a warm cup of cocoa and prepare for a nostalgic trip down memory lane .... but not with this book! THE RISE AND FALL AND RISE AND FALL OF B.B. WOLFE is NOT the fairy tales of your childhood! While the names and faces may seem familiar, their personalities are not. Dreamed up under the light of the waning Flower Blue Moon, each character sprang to life, their thoughts, hopes and foibles delivered without mercy but with a touch of spicy innuendo and deadpan humor.

Ivan walks the two miles home from his wrecked truck, into his apartment, and reaches for a cigarette. His hand passes straight through it. That's when he understands the body still slumped over the steering wheel, back on the dark road behind him, is his own. Ivan is dead, and no one can see him. Death did not end his story. It stranded him inside it, a ghost haunting the apartment he once lived in. He can no longer touch the world, but he can still watch it, read it, and in small, unnerving ways push at it.

But these are not your average blood-sucking monsters. Frank soon uncovers a long-buried secret about them.

Bureaucrats, scientists, cloned celebrities, would-be revolutionaries, and weary citizens stumble through systems that unravel the more faithfully they're obeyed. Across vignettes of malfunctioning machines, surreal workplaces, dueling presidents (one of them an ape), and agents of cognitive control, this satire skewers conformity, ideology, and culture recycled into propaganda.

Zombie pirates, living toys, medical equipment, and mannequins. These are just a few of the things that can tear you apart. Enjoy these stories and try not to disparage the things you see just because you don't think they're conscious. You could insult a psychopathic thing that you never expected would murder your family tonight.
