The Run Fantastic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950305711)

At 5:45 am, Ampersand Jones develops a brain aneurysm and dies in his sleep. He then gets up and goes for a run. With his positive-thinking podcasts for company, he decides that he's going to run himself back to life, having to outrun warring running clubs, reanimated road kill, and the personification of death along the way.

The Run Fantastic is a surreal comedy about lost boys and dead things, sitting somewhere between The Mighty Boosh, Peter Pan, and Beetlejuice.

"Witty, absurd, and utterly enjoyable. Luke Kondor is the future of Bizarro fiction." -Carlton Mellick III, author of Satan Burger and Sweet Story

"Equal parts hilarious, moving, and very, very weird. The entire Bizarro genre's been put on notice-Luke Kondor is one to watch!" -Brian Asman, author of I'm Not Even Supposed to Be Here Today

"A dark fable full of emotional heft and humor. Luke Kondor comes at you sideways, surprising you with universal truths beneath a whacked-out Bizarro veneer. The Run Fantastic is constantly entertaining, and right up my alley." -Danger Slater, author of I Will Rot Without You

"The Run Fantastic is the funniest meditation on death I've ever read." -Amy Vaughn, author of Skull Nuggets
