Vengeful Hank and Other Shortweird Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781777845131)

A time-travel prototype lands in a Viking village. A horse-riding fiddler crab reveals his secret. A despotic tyrant is confronted by a penguin. Each story is "an imaginative gem... funny, charming, surprising" (Don Ferguson, Royal Canadian Air Farce) with a writing style that's "tight, airy and whimsical"(Colleen McKie, Lavender Lines Book Review). In Vengeful Hank & Other Shortweird Stories, Canadian comedian, actor and writer Marcel St. Pierre showcases his ability to conjure unique characters and situations, at once uniquely strange and ridiculous but somehow universally sympathetic. Vengeful Hank & Other Shortweird Stories is the first volume of the Shortweird Stories series: offbeat tales that blend the absurd, the mundane and the manic alike with a hint of bittersweet darkness. These are surreal stories for short attention spans.
