This slim volume collects the short fictional satires and stories published by Scott Stein. What catastrophe awaits when all the world’s peanuts disappear? Is a pill that makes people think they’re taller going to wreck society? Can the economy be fixed with a word’s redefinition? Why is the SWAT team surrounding that daycare center? Is the Stacker the greatest artist to ever live? Do you know enough animal idioms to understand a story that contains almost nothing else? These early published comedic pieces by the author of The Great American Deception display the wit and wordplay readers of his novels have come to expect. There are seven brief stories in this collection: “The Last Peanut,” “The Stacker,” “Garghibition,” “Kangaroo Court,” “Zero Tolerance,” “When Up Was Down,” and “The Most Amazing Place in Existence.” The last of these is narrated by Arjay, the coffee machine robot from Scott Stein’s Great American novel series, after the excitable fellow clearly had a bit of a caffeine overload. The collection also contains brief notes from the author about the creation and publication of each piece.
