And That Is Why
Men Are Terrible

When a twenty-something girl packs up and moves to New York City, she expects a lot of things: excitement, glamour, and endless opportunities for adventure. However, she probably doesn’t expect those adventures to involve flirtations with homelessness, viral internet notoriety, or a revolving series of dead-end survival jobs.

Nevertheless, this is exactly what Eve finds when she arrives with little more than the boundless optimism of youth and a drive to make the world a better place. As she searches for ways to turn her idealism into concrete political action and  figure out exactly what it means to be a good person, she winds up drowning in a sea of freaks and weirdos whose self-interest and personal shortcomings seem staggering, until she is forced to confront her own.

Dreams from the
Slumber Yard

Richard Blake runs The Slumber Yard, a struggling mattress store in small town strip mall. A bitter, misanthropic recluse with no friends or family to speak of, Richard whiles away his boring, monotonous life by tormenting customers and producing a series of low budget TV commercials. Determined to make a change and find meaning in his life, Richard meets a beautiful young woman named Kathy. He quickly falls in love, but after a lifetime alone, Richard doesn't know how to reconcile his own anger and self-loathing with his newfound affection for another person. At times dark and funny, sweet and unsettling, Richard's story is one of love, selfishness, fame, humiliation, and the kind of excitement that can only be found in reasonably priced furniture.
